Just found out that the Capulets want Juliet to marry Paris, and I completely agree with them. Juliet should marry a guy that her family approves of, not a guy she barely knows. I understand that she still has feelings for Romeo, but first of all she should've known that her parents would have never approved of him. Second, she barely knows Romeo, how could she fully be sure that her love for Romeo is true love when she doesn't even know him that well. Even though Juliet doesn't love Paris, this marriage has a quality that I like. And it's her parents approve of him, so with Romeo gone and Juliet marrying Paris I have a feeling Verona can become peaceful once again!
Just left the scene of the fight between Romeo, Mercutio, and Tybalt. I sentenced Romeo to be banished from Verona because he killed Tybalt. I know to many this may seem unfair, but Romeo was the reason the fight all the started. He was the one that married Juliet in the first place. Anyways, I've told all my citizens in my creed that whoever starts another quarrel will pay for it with his life. Did those three think I was joking? Well I wasn't, and if banishing Romeo from the city will help people realize that this creed wasn't a joke then I will do it. Romeo should be thankful that I'm not sentencing him to death, I'm just simply banishing him from ever entering my city. I don't care if he can't see Juliet anymore, he wasn't supposed to marry her in the first place. Does he think just because he's married he gets special treatments? That's not how it works. I'm sure this little love they have for each other is just puppy love and they're just blinded by love. Romeo and Juliet will find someone else when they're old and ready enough to handle a real relationship! The people who disagree with my ruling need to understand that I'm doing this because I want Verona to be a safe place again, and I want people to know that what I stated in my creed is all true. I am going to miss Mercutio a lot, and Romeo should be thankful that he's still living while two others died on his behalf!
