Dear Diary,
Today, Daddy hosted a huge party and everyone was invited. I was shaking in my slippers when Mum and Nurse gave me "the talk". Mom said that Paris wanted to marry me. Paris! He is so much older then me. I was afraid that the age difference wasn't going to work. Yeah, Mom and Dad are seven years apart...but he is at LEAST 10! I kept this to myself, and told them both that I would try to like him, on his looks. I figured that wouldn't be very hard! ;) So, Diary, I was at the party and I was dancing with Paris, just like my parents wanted. He is a very, very good dancer. I was having a good time, but then, Dairy, you will never guess what happened... this guy came up to me. He was very romantic! He was telling me how lovely my hands were and then, he asked for a kiss, so I gave him one!! I was feeling very adventurous and I think I had one to many drinks. I had to go, because mother was calling me, but I asked my nurse who he was. His name is ROMEO and he is the son of CAPULET!! Oh...my life is ruined, I know that I am rushing thing just a tad...but I have never been more sure of anything in my life! I think that I love him! I can't get this wonderful feeling out from inside me! I think I'm going to EXPLODE!!!
With Love,
Juliet <3
Act 1 Scene 3 Line 98
" I'll look to liking, if looking liking move "
This quotation was said by Juliet to Lady Capulet before the big Capulet party in Act 1 Scene 3. This quotation shows us a bit of Juliet as a character. She is talking to her mother about Paris, who her mother likes and wants her to marry. Juliet, not wanting to disappoint her mother or family, agrees to try and like him, even though liking and especially loving someone can not be forced. Because of this quote, we know that Juliet is committed to pleasing her parents and her family.
