Romeo Montaque, practically my son,
stumbled upon me gathering herbs in the fields the other day while I was
reflecting on the beauty of nature which was provoking thoughts on the misuse
of good and its quick transformation to evil under certain circumstances. He
hastened to inform me of his forgotten love for Rosaline and his newly
discovered infatuation for a young woman named Juliet. According to Romeo, this
girl, though lovely and bright, happens to be of the Capulet family, an enemy
to the Montaques.
You can imagine my disbelief and apprehensive questions to
this whirlwind change of events. Just the other day, he was weeping and sighing
over Rosaline and kept to himself, just barely holding together his so-called
broken heart. It is my understanding that young and inexperienced Romeo hasn’t
touched on the meaning of true love yet, but rather what he believes it to be.
Although, however rash this decision may be, it is possible that these lovers
may tie together the feuding families in their marriage and this drawn-out
quarrel will at last be resolved. It is a risk I must be willing to take for
the sake of our society here in Verona and although I am lacking in experience
with this true love, I believe that it cannot steer wrong when developed. I do
believe that it must be developed in time so I will encourage Romeo to take
this budding relationship slowly. I will just have to trust in Romeo’s
dedication for this Juliet, urge for him to take this slow, and hope for the
best.
