Monologue
[Romeo descending down the balcony]
Juliet: Hum! Something fears. O Romeo! All I desire is to be with you. I can’t stand, seeing you fade away into the dark fog. The wind seems to carry you far away from me but I hope the sun will give you light in the darkness. The more the distance between us the more I dread for you. O Romeo! The moment you leave, your thoughts keep appearing in my mind. Then all I do is dream about what you said all along our meetings.
It was on the day my dad gave a party; I wonder how he was there. He looked very nervous. He seemed to be searching for someone; perhaps someone special. Then his keen eyes fell on mine. I couldn’t resist the way he stared at me. So I immediately turned away. His hand suddenly touched mine, it was cold and a sudden shiver ran across my body. When I turned, he said “If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth the rough touch with a tender kiss”. I can’t forget those words. I really felt as pure and as holy as an angel when he said that. I knew he liked me and wanted to kiss me. I knew it the moment he said “O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do!” as we touched each other’s hands. My cheeks blushed and my heart was too heavy for words as he gave me a loving kiss. The nurse than interrupted, I was so furious, as I hardly met him. I didn’t even know his name. After everyone left, me and the nurse were left alone in the massive hall. That’s when I asked her what his name was. She said “His name is Romeo, and a Montague. The only son of your great enemy” My anger changed to despair as I knew that my only love was my family’s greatest enemy. I was shocked.
