Introduction

Romeo's Diary Entries - Section 1 I Truly believe I am the luckiest man alive. Friar Lawrence has finally agreed to match me and Juliet later today. Rosaline is my heart's old desire, but my heart doth gape for Juliet. 'She doth teach the torches to burn bright' with her exquisite beauty. I have been frivolous until now believing my heart belonged to Rosaline. ' Is love a tender thing?

He critisised my ' grotesque mask' and asked if I had attended to ' fleer solemnity'. Capulet was Outraged with Tybalt and praised me for being portly. I faded amongst the guests so I could dance alongside Juliet. I knew 'my sins were purged' the moment my lips met hers, I did not want the moment to end, but Juliet was called away as her mother craved a word with her.
