An eye for an eye

Romeo was over come by fury, when Mercutio was killed. He lost one of the closest people to him and he couldn't take it. He changed into someone completely different than himself and avenged his fallen comrade. I do not know if I support what he did but I certainly respect it. Something had to be done but I don't know if had to be as severe as the first act. In this case both families were left to mourn, and no family won, so why was this act committed?  Why did this happen, no one gained anything, but only lost someone they cared about. When romeo finally finished him, we were in so much shock that time almost stopped. I snapped out of it and told romeo that he needed to run, the citizens are up, and Tybalt is dead. Don't just stand there, run if the prince catches you, you will get the death penalty.  (III,1, 94)

How could this Happen?

One of my closest friends is dead at the hands of my only enemy. We were attacked by Tybalt, that petty aggressive, vain Capulet. He wanted to take vengeance for Romeo crashing the party. We should have never went and none of this would have happened. If we never went then Tybalt would have never had a reason to retaliate! Its all my fault for convincing Romeo to go to meet other girls. How could I do this to my friends, I should have better judgement. I should have known from earlier how much of a hot head Tybalt was. He nearly tried to kill me over a feud between servants I should have told them about Tybalt. I knew that something was coming I said to Mercutio, that we should leave since its hot and so many Capulets are wondering around. If we bump into any of them there will definitely be a fight. When it is hot like this people become very irritable and angry. (III,1,1) But he didn't listen! he is so stubborn he would never back down to any one. He is always right and if you think you are right he will fight you for it and win.

Matters of the heart

Unrequited love is the worst kind. Being the nice guy, I have experienced that before and the only thing that heals that is, time, support or another girl. The feeling that you have such intense feelings for another, and the other does not share them for you is heart wrenching. I try to show my feelings and get them across, but I feel like I am always overshadowed by the people I care for. I am not aggressive and that is my downfall, other people but there way in front of me and I get left behind. I feel for romeo so I am trying to help him the best I can but there is little I can do.All I can do is sit back and ask him what makes time go painfully slow for him. (I,1,187)

allways willing to help

I talked to my aunt and uncle about Romeo. I told them that I was up early this morning with a lot on my mind so I went for a walk and ran into him. I ran into him Underneath the Sycamore grove on the west side of the city, also taking a walk. I approached him, but he saw me coming and hid in the woods. he may be feeling the same way I do, wanting to be alone but has had enough of himself. So I was perfectly fine with leaving him alone to sort out his issues.(I,1 108-121) Something must really be bothering romeo, and I will always be there to help, I mean what are friends for. But I will only give him help if he wants, I don't want to pry because that could eventually come between us.

A coward?

during the brawl between servants, I told him put down your weapon or help me to stop this violence, (I,1,82) and he called me a coward and told me he hates my family. How are there people in this world still like him! I'm trying to stop the deaths of many over a stupid cause, and I'm viewed as a coward, what is this caveman times? People need to do whats best for the group not just themselves! People only think of themselves, I wish more people looked out for one another.

A Biter Hatred

The longstanding feud between us and the Capulets has reignited for the third time. servants of ours did something mindbogglingly stupid. They disrespected the only people that if you disrespect will cause such a mess. Were they thinking, or were they just falling prey to the hate that our family has created. If I wasn't there to say stop idiots, you don't know what you are doing, (1,1, 76) they could have all been killed. I cannot stand how aggressive Tybalt is, I was trying to calm everyone down and he was still instigating the fight!
