I have to accept that it is my fault that Romeo and Juliet died. It was a terrible tragedy. Such a shame, they were so young but we can not think of such things now. No amount of doing so can change what terrible things have passed. I feel so much guilt. It is not as if I did not try to get the word out to Romeo but perhaps trying harder would have made everything run smoothly.
I decided to allow Romeo and Juliet to marry, I carried out this service. I allowed this for the reason that Romeo is one of my oldest friends and also that I have followed the obedience of being a priest for a large part of my years that have past. If I was not to marry Romeo and Juliet who was not to say they would not carry on being together without these vows. I helped them do things in the right way. Was I to know what this would lead to? I am not saying this excuses what I did- If it was not for this action then I would not have needed to do a thing more and thee Romeo would still be here today along with his lady Juliet.
