Juliet's Journal

I have been waiting for what seems like ages. I sent nurse this morning to get Romeo's reply on whether he will marry me or not. She said she would be back in half an hour, and she left at nine o'clock this morning. It is now noon.
I am starting to panic, what if Romeo said no, and she doesn't want to come back to tell me the bad news? No, I can't think like that. He loves me, and he will marry me... I think... Or what if she couldn't find him?
A Few Hours Later
We have just been married. I do not know what mother will think. Maybe this will finally be the end of the Capulet/Montegue rivalry. I highly doubt it though. We are debating whether we should tell anyone at all. Nurse does know, but she approves of Romeo. He is a good man, and he will take care of me.

Do You Believe In Fate?

I personally, do not really believe in fate. I think that things happen because of the choices people make. If everything was left to fate, then we wouldn't even have to make any choices, we just go with the flow.
I don't think that it's fate that people fall in love. It's the choice to meet the person and get to know them really well. It's totally your choice who you fall in love with. You may be attracted to someone, but to fall in love with them, you would have to get to know them more.
I think that the story of Romeo and Juliet just doesn't make sense, they see each other, and automatically, they are in love. I don't believe that that can really happen. I think that that was just a way for Shakespeare to make money. But that's just what I think.
