Courtney's Romeo & Juliet Blog: Post Number Six: Let Lovers Keep On Loving

Life went on and people wondered if there was something they could have done so the tragic event of young romeo and Juilet death had not occurred. Many things had changed in Verona, such as the large solid gold statues in the streets, the empty Friars cell, and the lovely sound of Juliets voice.

Friar Lawence was hated by all the citizens of Verona. They were all disgusted with the fact that an elder man would go behind the backs of adults to help young lovers with their forbidden marriage. By choice, the night of the deaths, the Friar packed his clothes, poisons, and potions and left the place he used to call home. Although the Friar was hated by everyone he did not hate himself. He felt like he did the right thing. He believed Romeo and Juliet were born to die. Maybe it was their fate to die so that the family feud would end.

The Capulets were very disappointed in Nurse. She was supposed to care and kept an eye on Juliet and she didn't do such a good job. The Capulets told Nurse to leave their house and not to bother coming back. With Juliet gone and no job, Nurse was beyond depressed. Juliet was like a friend and a daughter to Nurse, she was all she had. The apothecary was banished from Verona for giving Romeo poision and was told to leave right away with out his belongings. So that night Nurse planned to sleep in the woods since she had no house, but on the way she passed the apothecary's house. Nurse froze and wondered if she should enter. Two sentences ran through her head " He no longer lives here. It belongs to nobody, and it probably has a bed." So she entered the dark cold home, she laided down on the cot and tried to fall asleep. With all the crying she had been doing her throat she very dry and itchy. Nurse rose from the bed and made her way to the cabinets. She fiddled with the jars and mugs and wondered if they were filled with water. Finally she got tired of trying to find water and just took a little bottle and shuffled back over to the cot. Then she popped out the cork and took a large sip. Nurse fell fast asleep and never woke up again. It wasn't water after all!

The house of the Capulets was cold and lonely. Lord Capulets blamed himself for the death of his daughter. He felt like he should have seen it coming and he cursed his hands for the times he hit juliet on her soft white cheek, and he wished to take back the words "My fingers itch" (Shakespeare 214) Althought a time comes when you have to move on with life, so he did. Lord Capulet spent his days with his new friend Lord Montique. To wash away their woes they played chess and went hunting. They found out that they had a lot in common.

It took a lot of lives but the town of Verona finally learned to let the lovers keep on loving.
