Personal Narrative: Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
Madam! Juliet! How are you sleeping right now? HOW are you on thy bed and NOT on cloud nine for the second time? Thy wedding is soon, why are you not getting ready? Your mother will come in and get scarlet red. Why are not thou going around and trying to figure out thy children’s names? You know, It’s never too early. I just hope this will make your family happy even though I know you might be drowning in an ocean of grief.
Juliet? Juliet? Why are you not breathing? Juliet! No, No, NO This can’t be…
Please, Juliet, come back to me. I lost my dearest Susan and I can’t go through this again Looks like you poisoned yourself.
I knew she was not going to get married to Paris to be a dutiful daughter to her parents. I knew she loved Romeo more than anything, that she would do anything to be just with him. This was going to happen, somewhere, somehow. She was just silently screaming but no one could hear her.
Oh, how your tender face reminds me of the day you stopped nursing from me. Thou was the prettiest babe I ever nursed. You were such a lovely child, everyone was so fond of your beauty. Your luscious chestnut locks and crystal blue eyes that was your most prized possession. To me, your looks were of silver, your heart of gold. When you were just two, you could already stand up all by yourself and one day cut your forehead when you were being silly. My husband – may his soul rest in peace – picked you up when you fell and said “Did you fall on your face? You’ll fall backward when you grow smarter. Won’t you, Jule” And you stopped crying and said, “Yes” Soon, you grew up and you met your night and shining armour. Romeo was like a medicine that you overdosed on. When you talked about it him, joy was just written on your face, always grinning ear to ear. Thy cheeks turned bright pink, thy eyes twinkled like starts, I could see how much you were in love with him and all I wanted was to give you a long time of happiness. I thought he would not make your heart pound, but he did. But if your family found that out, they would never accept that, the Capulet and Montague fued was bigger than fireworks, so dangerous and unstoppable. How am I going to do

I can’t live without the one person who puts a smile on my face. The Capulet’s don’t see my need in this house, with you gone, they’re going to leave me on the streets. I should have helped you be with Romeo, I shouldn’t have convinced you to go ahead with another marriage to a person no one saw with their hearts but only with their eyes. I should have thought that this was going to end badly the moment Juliet tied the knot with Romeo. Maybe this was supposed to happen, maybe this was how it was supposed to end (Pause) What if this is all my fault? What if I killed my own Juliet? Were my words like a knife that stabbed through your heart? No, that can’t be! I couldn’t have done this. I can’t control what’s going through her head, I can’t make her do anything, she’s as stubborn as a

    The fact that I knew that only made me even angrier, and when I went on stage I snapped. As an actor you usually have to be thinking of four or five things at once like, am I standing in my light, what is my next line, when do I need to move, do I have my props I’m supposed to, and so on. However when I walked on stage and the scene got emotional, all other thoughts left my mind except pure anger and rage. I poured everything that I was feeling into this monologue and onto the actress playing Juliet. At the end of the scene when I walked off I had to be by myself because I was still angry and wasn’t sure how to turn it off.…
