Romeo & Juliet: Advice Letter

Dear Romeo,

       Life for you wasn't normal like everyone else, your life was built with anger that surrounded your family, the Montagues and Juliet's family, the Capulets. But then you made peace with the Capulet's daughter, Juliet, fell in love and then got married. Unlike most fairy tales, you two weren't going to have a happily ever after. There was anger and tension between both your families that prevented you and Juliet to live and love each other. That day you two got married, you wanted to make peace with Tybalt but he resisted and that day was also the day Mercutio died. You were devastated and felt so much anger that you couldn't resist in looking for revenge. Once you killed Tybalt was when you realized what you have done. There are times when you just have to let go of feelings that you're holding inside and that's fine but when you took it off on Tybalt, it was like a reflection because you did exactly what Tybalt did to Merucutio. Revenge may be the only thing in your mind at that time but you should have thought of it before you killed Tybalt. Since you killed Tybalt, you lost pretty much everything; Juliet, Verona, friends and your family. In Act 3, Scene 3 you said, " There is no world without Verona walls but purgatory, torture, hell itself. "  Well in this case you are partly to blame for action towards the killing of Tybalt. But to make this short then it needs to be, I am here to write that you had still a long way to live in Verona even if it meant to love Juliet in the shadows and be threatened by the Capulets, but by making and taking this action of revenge not only were you banished from Verona, you lost everything that you had in Verona. Decisions are very hard to make and this was the type  of decision to make before it was put in action. The pain that you feel when a love one dies will fade away but still be there in your heart but when you are the one that killed someone, it will stay there and it will haunt you and make you regret what you have done. Don't be dumb enough to make the same mistake, you were lucky enough to get out of this one but not so sure if you'll be lucky for the next one.

      Sincerely,

      M.
