Romeo And Juliet Modern

Romeo And Juliet Modern

For my English creative writing assignment, I have chosen to do a letter correspondence between a modern Romeo and Juliet. I have turned the play around a bit, and it differs from the original story. Near the end of the play, the Capulets discover Juliet and Romeo’s marriage and forbid her to see him ever again. Juliet then marries Paris, but sends one last word to her beloved Romeo. Below, is her letter. Romeo, I’m rreally upset that our parting had to be so sudden into our marriage, and that our wedding night had to end so suddenly. With thoughts of you still in my mind, I rushed home to finish off what I never got the chance to say to you in the form of a letter while your beautiful face is still very clear in my mind. Romeo, I know you, and how you react and how you think. So I know your ffirst instinct will be to pretend the reality of these past few days never happened. You will want to rip up and throw away this letter, trying to hide from the situation. But please, I am asking of you, if yyou loved, love or are in love with me then do not. For my sake. Seriously, I will be starting from the beginning, the truth. When I first laid my eyes on you at the ball at my mansion just days ago, I thought you were the most beautiful creature God could have ever possibly created. What we had was difficult. Romeo, I have gone and will continue to go through everything for you. I am now living in a different city and with a different man because of you and I am sure we both know that this is the worst place I could possibly be. I have devoted my life to you and not for one minute do II ever regret any of it. I’ve been trying to convince myself that what happened over these past couple of days never happened at all. Since the past week, I’ve done nothing but think about us. I love you so much Romeo, too much. At this point in time I can’t even imagine picking up my life and moving on without you in it. Fate, I believe is what brought us together. It also was what tore us apart. Romeo, eeverything happens for a reason. I hope that one fine day fate will kick in and destiny will bring you back to me. One day. Take good care of yourself so I don’t have to worry too much about you. I really wish that our UN-dying love would help us over this hurdle once more. A piece of me has died with our parting. I love you, and Romeo, I will never forget you. Your Bright Angel, your shining star, Juliet C. Juliet, I couldn’t sleep at all last night. Reading your letter just erupted my feelings all over again, to you I write. Please understand me. We were made for each other. Everyone goes through tough times and they usually end up hating each other, but last night when I was walking back to Verona, and even when I was arguing with you, I didn’t hate you at all. What I felt was totally different. It was fear that I was going to loose You. I didn’t think I was going to lose you, but I was really scared that I might. I tried not to cry and I ...
