Ay Me!
Act 3 Scene 5


Romeo and Juliet are clearly very passionate, for I had to practically pull them apart from each other before they committed a sin right before my very eyes! After their loving embrace, the marriage went beautifully and also quietly in the hopes of not arousing attention. Oh, how in love they really are! Young love, it's such a beautiful thing. When they see each other it is as if the air has been sucked from their lungs, and they cannot breathe until they are in each other's arms. 


Later that very same day, however, a dark cloud was cast upon the city. Tybalt hath slain Mercutio, and Romeo hath slain Tybalt. Ay me! What a foolish act! After the Prince caught wind of what happened, he did not sentence the living Romeo to death, but instead banished him from Verona. Ay me! Ay me! Ay me! Oh Romeo, Romeo, what makes thee do such foolish things? He came running into my cell after apparently fleeing the town square and sat, for what felt like hours, curled up on the floor getting drunk on his own tears.


I fear for thee Romeo,


Friar Lawrence ✝
