DIARY 2
The Diary of Romeo
Entry 1
Dear diary,
The whole of this day had to be spent solitary within the four walls of a room sunk in darkness.
My thoughts could not be away from Rosaline because of my extreme love for her although she
never reciprocates like that. Although it is a one-sided love I shall still be by her side. The only
person who always makes an endeavor to rejuvenate my spirits is Benvolio, but in vain. My
emotions remain constant. Soon after both of us stumbled upon a man called Peter. Me and
Benvolio had been cordially invited by Peter to a party that the Capulets had organized.
Although there was restriction for the Montagues to attend the party yet I could not restrain
myself from going there with the wish of seeing Rosaline, who has engulfed my entire heart. But
destiny had planned something else for me. The party changed the entire course of my life and
the person for whom my life never remained like before was another girl called Juliet. In the
party I encountered with Juliet and soon was taken off my feet with a kiss and soon my heart
belonged to her for the lifetime. But to my dismay Juliet was a Capulet blood, the eternal
enemies of the Montagues. But no enmity could rationalize my spirits of love for Juliet and I left
the party with the intention of meeting her again and again.
Entry 2
Dear Diary,
This day I crept under Juliet’s balcony to see her once and to my heart’s content she was there. I
was absolutely mesmerized by her pink lips and the words she spoke filled my heart with

heavenly mirth. I felt we would be talking like this for the lifetime but had to pause our
conversation as someone has called Juliet by her name quite a few times and she was compelled
to go inside the house leaving the balcony and me. I believe our love is platonic because we
wanted to get married. We both had thought of a nuptial union although the time and venue was
not yet planned. As time was short and we could not complete our conversation, we were not
sure how to deal with the entire process of marriage that too in the rivalry between the Capulets
and the Montagues. But we were resolute to do it. Both of us were aware that we were being
unfaithful to our families yet the promise me and Juliet has made to each other was an eternal
promise we both wanted to carry on. But in regards to marriage I had to convince the Friar to
arrange the wedlock.
Entry 3
Dear Diary,
The first thing I did today morning was to make an appointment with Friar Lawrence and see
him to enumerate about my newfound love Juliet and not Rosaline who had not reciprocated my
love. We had a short conversation about Rosaline and I must say that the memories of Rosaline
still make me sad. But the love for Juliet is so overpowering that in no time the sorrowful
memories are flushed away from my heart and the wish to marry Juliet resides. Although Friar
Lawrence was a bit astonished that I changed my mind from Rosaline to Juliet in such a short
span of time yet to my greatest joy of life, he agreed to marry me and Juliet. This was perhaps
the most joyous moment of my life. The other part of the day, I spent with Benvolio and
Mercutio making plans for the upcoming marriage. It was the time when an older lady appeared
