Romeo is in love

Act 2 Scene 1

Well, of course Mercutio and Benvolio got Romeo to go to the Capulet's ball. I had a premonition that would happen. Romeo originally went in order to see Rosaline; however, upon his arrival he was seduced by another girl's beauty. He quickly lost interest in Rosaline and now has moved his passion completely towards Juliet Capulet! What a foolish and rash decision he has made! That boy knows how much their families hate each other, but he still manages to fall in love with the wrong person again.

He irritates me quite a bit in his decision making. It is as if he does not listen to a word I say. She is the daughter of his family's rivals, so she could not possibly return his love. I must warn him as soon as possible of how this will turn out. I cannot stand to see his heart ache another time.

Until next time,

May God be with you--Friar Lawrence ✝
