Dearest Journal, Sunday – Early Morning

My heart! It is broken! I feel as though it has been ripped out from

my chest! Rosaline – she does not want me! Oh, I feel as though my

life is over! It has no point to it! What- if Rosaline does not love me-

is there to live for! I will never fall in love again! NEVER! Feeling

heartbroken- Romeo

Dearest Journal, Sunday – Mid Afternoon

Benvolio is forcing me to attend this party! He thinks that I will

see that Rosaline is not as beautiful as other women of Verona! HA!

Rosaline is the most beautiful woman in the entire world! No woman

will ever compare to my beloved Rosaline! Time to get ready for the

party. Feeling like there’s no hope for me- Romeo

Dearest Journal, Sunday – LATE evening

 I feel as though I have never loved someone before! Juliet has

stolen my heart! She is the most beautiful woman in the entire

universe! I love her! I will do anything for her! I have to see her

once more! I will climb up by her balcony; I have to see her beautiful

face once more!

Feeling in Love- Romeo

Dearest Journal, Monday- Early Morning

I am to be married! Oh, Juliet is the prettiest girl my eyes have

ever seen! I asked her to marry me! I want to be her husband, and

her to be my wife! We will live the happiest lives in the world! Oh,

Juliet. Oh, Juliet! How I love you so!!!!!

Feeling anxious- Romeo

Dearest Journal, Monday, Late Morning

Friar Laurence has agreed to marry us! I am the happiest man

alive! – Romeo

Dearest Journal, Monday, afternoon

I am married! To my one and only true love- Juliet! She looked

so beautiful! Juliet will always be the only woman I have ever loved!

She puts the light into my day! I have never truly been so happy in

my life! I am now a married man! Juliet will be together forever!

Feeling joyful – Romeo

Dearest Journal, Monday, Evening

I have just killed my family member- my cousin- in- law Tybalt!

How will I ever explain this to my wife! Her own cousin, I have

killed! But he killed my best friend- Mercutio! He had to die! I had to

kill him- for Mercutio‘s sake! What will I ever do without Mercutio!

Oh- if Benvolio and Juliet died, I would have no one left! I’m going

to see what Friar Laurence has to say. Then, I’m going to the

Capulet’s to see if Juliet still wants me.

Feeling distraught- Romeo

Dearest Journal, Monday, Evening

I have just received the worst news! I have been banished! Oh,

my! Death wouldn’t be worse! I don’t care what Friar Laurence says!

DEATH WOULD BE BETTER THAN BEING BANISHED!

Feeling hopeless– Romeo

Dearest Journal, Friday, Evening

 I have gotten the news that I never wished to hear! My dear

Juliet – IS DEAD! Oh, Juliet! My sweet Juliet! My life has no point

now! I must be with my Juliet! I bought some poison in which I am

going to use to kill myself next to my dear wife’s side!

Feeling scared but resolved - Romeo

Farewell Journal… Forever.
