Last time when everything was chaotic and several people had died, it was I who was the main witness in front of all the townspeople and the Prince. I assure you that I didn't like that feeling at all. Everyone expected me to be righteous, truthful, and responsible for all the actions that had happened. I think this is exactly how Friar Lawrence felt along with all the witnesses. As I can't say what they were feeling, but I can only imagine it so. While Friar Lawrence told me the families were agreeing upon the creation of statues of Romeo and Juliet laying side by side, I breathed a huge sigh of relief after hearing this.. Alas, after so much hatred between the two families and the lack of sympathy for one another had come to an end. I'm disappointed that this only happened after the number of deaths it took as well as the heartbreaks and torn hearts. Both the Capulets and my family, truly understood the things that they fought over was unreasonable. "O brother Montague, give me thy hand. This is my daughter's jointure, for no more Can I demand." (pg. 284) I wish it didn't take so long to heal this grudge and hatred. Every time I think about how Romeo and Mercutio died, I become very sad. I even feel miserable about the Montagues that had died. When I think I could've done better, there's nothing for me to do because what's been started has terminated. The people that I once hung out with and loved, are now gone. The only thing remains is the peace that was desired from the very start, but with hearts shattered and souls torn.
