Father & Paris.

My father is so diffcult to deal with. He wishes for me to marry Paris, the pefect guy for me apparently. Paris is wealthy, good looking, well known, and respects all women. He is all that a woman should want in a man. If this is so, then why do I not want to be with him. Only few people know the true answer to that question. Romeo, the Nurse, Friar Lawrence, and I, are the only ones. I am in love with and wed to Romeo secretly; therefore, I can never go through with this marriage to Paris. Father once told me that, if I will not marry Paris, then I will be disowned by him and my mother, and thrown onto the streets. Lady Capulet had agreed with him. Afterwards, father and mother left me with Nurse. I asked Nurse’s opinion of the situation, and she had agreed. Paris is the man I should be with, instead of Romeo. I felt betrayed by Nurse. She was always the one person, besides Romeo, that I could trust to tell me the truth of everything. To tell me that I should leave Romeo – my love, my husband – was so very selfish of her.

Banishment.

Romeo has gotten banished. This picture is of us kissing before he left Verona. The banishment was ordered by the Prince. Tybalt has wanted to start a fight with Romeo ever since he’d known about the fued between my two families. What really escalated Tybalt’s wish to fight and kill Romeo, was seeing Romeo at the Capulet ball. Tybalt had told my father, but my father dismissed it, since Romeo was not really causing any trouble. Ever since that night, Tybalt seeks any reason to harm Romeo. He finally got his chance in the streets of Verona. It was after my marriage to Romeo, and Tybalt had sent a letter to Romeo. Tybalt and Mercutio begun the fight, and Tybalt ended that fight by stabbing Mercutio in the chest. Romeo had gotten in the way, trying to stop the fight; Tybalt thrust his sword up around Romeo’s arm, and it went straight into Mercutio’s breast. Tybalt and Romeo began fighting after that, and Romeo, by accident, murdered my cousin, Tybalt. The Nurse told me the horrible news. She had made it sound like Romeo was the one that was murdered by Tybalt, but I found out the truth soon enough. Romeo, by order of the Prince, was banished from Verona.
