Letters from Romeo and Juliet characters to each other

 If the characters of Romeo and Juliet sent each other letters or notes, this is what they might say . . .

Dear Romeo,
I'm worried about you. You are always in your room  with your windows shut and curtains closed. I may have to send Benvolio to get through to you. I wish you would tell me what's wrong. If I knew, maybe I could help.

From your mother, Lady Montague.

Dear Paris,
Would you marry my fair daughter Juliet? If so, meet me tomorrow and we will discuss it further. But only if your intentions are honourable will I let thee marry Juliet. 
From Lord Capulet (Lauren)   

Dear Romeo,
Cheer up mate. Let's go and gate-crash the Capulets' party. I will show you all the beauties of Verona. Compare her with some that I shall show you, and I will make thee think thy swan a crow.

From Benvolio (Tonu) 

Dear Benvolio, 
I know Romeo has been sad because he loves Rosliane. Tell him that there will be a party at the house of Capulet, and we'll gate-crash it and catch the Capulets by surprise. They will never know it was us. 

Sincerely, 
Mercutio (Jackie) 


Dear Rosaline, 
You are the sweet icing on the cake. You are a bright burning light and I am a mosquito  attracted to your flame. Would you meet me at the dance tonight? I would be honoured.
Love Romeo (Lauren)  

Dear Father Lawrence,
I saw a  girl so divine I fell in love with her at first sight at the Capulets' party. She is like a dove and better than Rosaline. I hope you can marry us today. 
From Romeo (Jupman)  

Dear Romeo,
Oh, why did you have to be a Montague! Couldn't you be a Capulet? For goodness sake, these family feuds are killing me. There's no reason for them,is there? If you can organise a priest we can get married as soon as possible. 
From Juliet (Alisha)  

 Dear Romeo, 
You made a fool of me last night at the Capulet party! Get ready to face my fury. I will kill you the next time I see you. I won't forget this, you vile worm!

Tybalt. (Trent) 

Romeo,
Get thee to the town square on Tuesday and you will wish you were never born. 

Tybalt.(Cameron W) 

Dear Lady Capulet,
Your cousin Tybalt killed my best friend Mercutio so I killed your cousin Tybalt. Tybalt and Mercutio did not like each other, and while my friends and I were in the street, your cousin Tybalt came, and they both started fighting. When they stopped, Tybalt killed Mercutio and after that I killed Tybalt. 
From Romeo (Akjot)   

Dear Romeo,
Why did you kill my cousin Tybalt?  Now you have to be exiled forever and we can never see each other. My parents are making me marry the Count Paris. So, I went to the friar and got a potion that will make it appear as if I am dead for two and forty hours.

 Love from Juliet.  (Kylah) 

Dear Romeo,
O, you were my love, but you slew  my cousin. Can I still trust you? Inside me there's love for Tybalt, but I still love you. But I have got other things on my mind. My parents are forcing me to marry Paris. What should I do? 

From Juliet (Cameron W)  

Dear Romeo,
Why did you have to kill Tybalt? We are never going to see each other again. I can't believe you are going to Mantua. I'm going to miss you so much. We need a plan. We can't be separated. My heart is broken. 
From Juliet (Jessica).   

Dear Romeo,
This is an official letter saying that you are now banished from Verona. If you enter Verona again, you will be slain. 

From Prince Escalus (Kyran) 

Dear Romeo,
 I bring news of Juliet. She has taken a potion, leaving her lifeless for two and forty hours. She will awake after that time. You must sneak into the Capulet tomb, checking for others that may be grieving. Ensure you are alone. 

I will be there when she awakes, and you will both escape to Mantua. I will take care of the families, as her parents will find her body gone. 

From your friend,
Friar Lawrence (Caitlin)


Dear Romeo, 
Your wife drank one of my potions and is now lying in the Capulet tomb. Come tonight and be there when she awakes. You both will escape to Mantua, and I'll sort things out. 

From Friar Lawrence

Dear Diary - by Romeo and Juliet characters

 Here are some of ideas of what we thought the characters in Romeo and Juliet would write if they kept a diary.

Dear Diary,
I saw a brawl in the streets today. It looked like the Montagues and the Capulets. I was thankful for Prince Escalus as soon as his horse trotted onto the scene. When he threatened the two families with their lives, their faces turned to stone. Then it was quiet until . . .

From a citizen(Tonu)


Dear Diary,
Today I had to really threaten those families to stop the feud. I am really sick of this. If ever they fight again, they shall pay with their lives. 
Prince Escalus (Trent)

Dear Diary,
Why do they have to fight over a feud? I hope my threat stops them from fighting in the streets. Seriously, why here, in Verona? I just want peace in my streets for once. I hope this feud will cease to non-existence. 
Prince Escalus (Bridget)  

Dear Diary,
I love Rosaline, but she does not love me. What does it take to make her love me? I've been weeping in the night and locking my self indoors during the day. Isn't that enough?
From Romeo (Jackie) 


Dear Diary,
Benvolio and Mercutio are hassling me to go to the Capulets' party to show me that Rosaline is just a crow, not a swan. But my love is set on Rosaline even though my heart was shattered after I found out she doesn't love me back.
Romeo. (Karnjeet) 

Dear Diary, 
Today I have a lovesick Romeo to find a remedy for. Luckily, a Capulet party is happening this evening, so I hope we can cheer up this sick Romeo at the party. We donned masks and found  our friend Mercutio who started teasing Romeo. I wonder where this will end up?
Benvolio (Bridget) 
Dear Diary, 
Today I convinced Romeo to go to a Capulet party, and I need to let him see all the admired beauties of Verona. I need to make him think his swan (Rosaline) is really a crow! 
Benvolio (Trent) 

Dear Diary, 
 I met this pretty girl. Her name is Rosaline. I love her, but she does not love me. But then, my friend Benvolio helped me and took me to the Capulets' party. 

There she was - my true love stood right in front of me - and her name was Juliet. We both started  liking each other, until the nurse told Juliet that I was a Montague, and I found out she was a Capulet. 

That night, she was alone on her balcony. She said really nice things, and she said if only I had another name. But she decided to marry me, and I'm very happy. 
Romeo (Ramandeep) 

Dear Diary,
Today I met Romeo.We locked eyes, which felt like forever. Then we shared our love with a tender kiss. His lips were as soft as a flower petal 
Juliet (Tegan) 

Dear Diary, 
I have never loved 'til this night. But when I found out he was a Montague, time seemed to freeze as I thought how my parents would think of me. They would be ashamed - especially my father. He would never let me set one foot in this house ever again. 
Juliet (Lauren) 

Dear Diary,
I asked Juliet what she thought of getting married. She immediately said she would not dream of the honour. I tried not to be angry and just let her be - although she will wed, whether she likes it or not!

Count Paris sent us a letter the other day, asking for her hand in marriage. I was thrilled that he asked for her, so I organised a wedding. Juliet will be so happy when I bring her the news. Count Paris has many riches and is even a relative of Prince Escalus. Maybe that will help us with getting those vile Montagues out of our streets.


I must go, as it is time for the feast.

Lady Capulet (Caitlin) 

Dear Diary,

Today is an awful day. Who does Romeo want? First he loves Rosaline, and now Juliet. What's in this boy's mind? I need to talk to him.
Friar Lawrence (Ramandeep)

Dear Diary,
That vile villain Montague was at the Capulet's party last night, and I had to leave because I was overcome with rage. When I next meet him, I will put an end to his miserable,worthless life. I will spill his blood on the streets of fair Verona, and dance with delight when the deed is complete. Vile MOntague, you will be food for the worms. they will feast on you and grow enormous. Already my day is starting to improve as I ponder on your fate. 
Tybalt (Flynn)
 
Dear Diary,
Romeo makes me so angry. I just want to kick and punch him in the face, but I can't because of the stupid laws. But I will not withdraw! I challenge Romeo to a fight!
Tybalt (Karnjeet)

Dear Diary, 
Today Benvolio  I went around Verona looking for Romeo, but all we could find was the Capulets' nurse. A few minutes later, we caught Romeo being threatened by Tybalt.  I was defending Romeo from his arch-enemies - the Capulets. Then, out of nowhere, I was stabbed. I cursed both houses before my death . . . 
Mercutio. (Jackie) 

 Dear Diary,
I hate Mercutio, because he is a friend of the Montagues. When I was walking past him and Romeo, Mercutio walked into me. He said to me, "You rat catcher!" Then I drew my sword and stabbed him. 
Tybalt (Glenton)  

 Dear Diary, 
Today the angry Tybalt killed my friend Mercutio and I got angry and killed him. The prince banished me so now I'm in Mantua waiting for word from either Friar Lawrence or Juliet.
Romeo; (Cameron W) 

Dear Diary, 
Mantua is boring without Juliet. Here comes Balthazar, my servant. I hope he has news of my Juliet. 
Romeo (Cameron W) 

Dear Diary,
Today my mother told me that I had to marry Count Paris, but I begged my father not to make me marry him. He growled at me and told me to be at church on  Thursday  - or never look him in the face again. Sigh . . . I don't know what to do now. Maybe the friar has a solution to the problem. 
Juliet (Bridget) 

Dear Diary, 
What has happened to my daughter? She used to be so lovely, so obedient. She made her father very angry, and she has disappointed me. I wish she would obey her parents.
From Lady Capulet (Jessica) 

Dear Diary, 
What is wrong with my daughter who will not marry the gallant Count Paris? He is so rich and we will be a relative of Prince Escalus - who I hope will help us get rid of those vile Montagues. We have got to be the luckiest family ever. 
Lady Capulet (Bridget) 

Dear Diary,
My son is banished, my wife is dead. I have nothing left. 
Lord Montague.  (Cameron W)  

Dear Diary,
My madam is dead, my job gone. What to do? 
Nurse. (Cameron W) 

Dear Diary,
My love dead! I am in Mantua far from her. I will be with you, my love, very soon. I defy you stars! I bought a poison for me to die so I will be with her in the sky. I am coming my love.
Romeo (Bridget) 

Dear Diary,
When a servant told me Juliet was dead my heart broke in two and I had trouble keeping it on the left side of my chest. I bought a poison and went to my wife's tomb.
Romeo.(Tonu) 

Dear Diary,
Today some teenager came to my shop demanding poison. I know it was against the law. I also know that he was leaving and had 40 coins. I really needed the money, so I sold him the poison. 
The apothecary.

Dear Diary,
My love has died on my lap. What bad timing for him to die when I wake up. If only he had waited five minutes instead of killing himself immediately we could have been alive together. Well, I guess I have to kill myself to be with him. Bye bye world, Now I die. 
Juliet (Bridget)  

Dear Diary,
Juliet comes to me weeping that her parents are going to make her marry Paris - but she is already married. So then I give her a potion so her parents will think she is dead, but she is really sleeping for a long time. Then Romeo and Juliet can escape. But my plan failed. Romeo killed Paris and then he killed himself because he thought Juliet was dead. Then she woke up and saw that Romeo was dead and she killed herself with a dagger. 
Father Lawrence (Jupman)

What we learned about drama - and Shakespeare, Part 2

The Huia 1 Cast of Romeo and Juliet
This week, I learnt to speak to the audience while doing my part in Romeo and Juliet. I also learnt that when I speak in a play I need to pronounce all my words correctly and not run them together. I am very good at remembering my lines.

I think the person who did the best insult was Ramandeep with, "O thou vile one!Kylah - the nurse


This week I memorised my cues for the narrators' part. I learnt that when we were on stage to not smile, and to look at the audience. 

I think I did well to not smile at some funny parts because when the audience laughed, I felt like laughing too. On stage, I felt confident when saying the narrators' part. If I did it again, I would speak louder and be more confident that I could do it. I would also try to get a spot for a character.

My favourite part was the killing scene when Tybalt killed Mercutio, and then Romeo killed Tybalt. I think the most improved person was Juliet because she wasn't speaking loud  or clearly at the start, but now we can hear her better and is not speaking so fast. Cameron M - narrator

The first part we learnt was the end, "A glooming peace this morning with it brings . . . "

The funniest part was when Romeo couldn't open the bottle of poison. I think that Mercutio had the best death and Lord Capulet was the best angry person.  I  learnt that exeunt means all exit. Kyran - narrator

 We learnt not to smile because we are not the audience. I had to memorise my words and the narrators' parts. When we rehearsed, I was so nervous, but I just had to do it. On Thursday, we had to show everybody that we had practised for the play. The insults were Shakespearean  and some of them were funny. The Montagues were blue and the Capulets were red. At the end of the play, Romeo and Juliet die and in the middle, Tybalt and Mercutio die. Lady Montague dies of a broken heart. Jackie - Mercutio. 
The Montagues  



 

This week was our performance week. Our class play was Romeo and Juliet. I showed that I learnt stagecraft by speaking slowly and clearly so people could understand what I was saying. I also learnt I could memorise my lines and the narrators' parts too. I also learnt the cue for when I have to say my lines. This week we also practised every day, so our play would be perfect. When it was our turn to show everybody our play I felt nervous, but after we started, I felt all right. When it was finished, I felt relieved that it was all over. 

The thing I did well was speaking slowly and clearly because I didn't race my lines or words together.  If I did this again, I would do more action because I didn't do much. 

The people who I think have  improved the most are Jessica (Juliet) and Cameron W (Romeo) because they had to remember a lot of lines and do a lot of actions too. The person who I think was the angriest was Tybalt, played by Karnjeet, because he really acted like he was really angry. The best death, I think, was Jackie (Mercutio) because  he really took the spotlight when he was dying. Latrey - Benvolio


 At first  I was really shy, but at the end I really wanted a part because I had got more confident. Next time I'll get a part. The funniest part was when they all die because when they stabbed people, everyone started laughing. I have learnt that Shakespeare is actually not that boring. 

If I do Romeo and Juliet again, I would be Juliet because I am sure I can do that role because I'm loud and can show emotion. 

My favourite parts were the balcony scene because Juliet was talking about Romeo and how nice he was. But Romeo pops up and Juliet was shocked that he was listening. I also liked how everyone died at the end. Ramandeep - understudy and narrator


The Capulets

I have learnt how to speak clearly  and louder so the audience can understand. It took me a while to memorise my lines at the start, but then I could recite them almost perfectly. I think I did well speaking at a slower pace and not mumbling, because my mum was there and she said she could clearly hear me speaking. Next time, I would use more expression when expressing something like sadness. I felt proud after our performance because I felt I had improved greatly. 

My favourite part was when the families realised they both were wrong and didn't fight any more. The funniest part was when Romeo died and Juliet woke up straight away. It was the worst timing in the world! 

The scariest part for me was when I had to lament that Juliet had died because I had trouble with that. 

I now fully understand the Romeo and Juliet story and could probably recite it in my own words. 

I think the most improved class member was Jessica (Juliet) because she has come a long way with her actions and expression. Caitlin - Lady Capulet

This week we did drama and we practised a lot.  I learnt all the boys' narrator parts, and my favourite one was, "A glooming peace . . . " My favourite part was when Tybalt killed Mercutio, and then Romeo killed Tybalt. My favourite insult was "Me thinks you stink !"

Next time, if I get to choose who I want to be, I would be Lord Montague because he doesn't talk too much and he is strict. I think Romeo (Cameron W) was really good, and the best death was Paris's (Danny).

The play was written by William Shakespeare over 400 years ago. I learnt that William Shakespeare lived in England and he did plays in the Globe Theatre during the day because there was no light at night time. Akjot - narrator


This week we performed a play in front of an audience. My favourite part was the death scenes because before they died, they sad their lines very well. I learnt many Shakespearean insults during our play, like: 
"Scurvy companion!"
"Maggot pie!"
I have easily learnt  the narrators' part but I wasn't used to the cue. If I did it again, I would still be a Capulet and a narrator, but do even better than before. 

The funniest part was the murderers with the daggers.  I think the most improved is Jessica (Juliet), and Cameron W (Romeo) has improved as well because he looks at the audience a lot. In the balcony scene, there was a soliloquy where Juliet spoke her thoughts aloud to the audience. Bridget - narrator


I played Lady Montague and I don't think I was loud enough, though at first, I was really scared. At first, before I was about to start, I forgot my words. I just went blank, but then my words came back. After a while, I wasn't scared - but I only had to say one line, so that was good.  I thought how we were screaming our insults was cool, and it was fun.  With the cues, we came in too slow sometimes - but most of the times it was good. I did well because I didnt go through it too fast. If it did it again, I would be louder. It felt good after I finished  because it went really well. 

The funniest part was the killing scenes because the characters were really good at dying. I think the most improved was Tonu as Lord Montague because he was really shy at first and yet he got up there and did it well. My favourite scene was the balcony scene because it's cute how Romeo pops out and Juliet got scared. Tegan - Lady Montague

I learnt how to say my insult violently. My insult was "Dung hill!", and my one was the best and loudest. When I had to say my part, I think I said something funny because people started to laugh. But overall, I am proud of myself because I haven't performed in a long time. I have achieved a lot of things with my acting and my lines. I think Lord Montague (Tonu) has got more confident in the play - better than when we were doing our rehearsal. I didn't expect that from him.  Glenton - Capulet servant 
 
Count Paris, Prince Escalus and Friar Lawrence

What we learned about drama - and Shakespeare, Part 1

"In fair Verona, where we lay our scene . . . "

I have learned many Shakespearean insults, such as: 
"Vile One!"
"Detestable fool!"
"Dung hill!" 
"Rotten one!" 
I have learnt many acting skills, like how fast to speak and how to stand still for a long time. I also learned when to make gestures with my hand - and I have learned many quotes from William Shakespeare.  I think the best person in the  play was Jessica (Juliet)  because she spoke clearly, loudly and slowly when she needed to, and fast when she needed to, and she spoke with expression.  DC the servant Peter.


 This week I learnt a lot of Shakespeare quotes and listened to people improve on their insults by changing their voices and speaking louder. My favourite insult was Ramandeep's because it sounded like she meant it (I hope not to me) and she used a lot of expression. My favourite part of the play was when Jessica (Juliet) died. 

When I got on stage in front of everybody, I forgot my lines and added one word by mistake.  Renae - narrator
"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?"


 I learnt that it  wasn't really that bad to go up on stage because you get over it once you're on the stage. I think I did well becasue I remembered my lines on the stage. My favourite part was when all the girls said together, "That night, when on her balcony above . . ." because it sounded really effective. 

The funniest part was when the boys forgot to say the narrator's  part so the girls started it off for them. The scariest part was getting up on the stage because I had butterflies in my tummy. 

I think our performance was really great because it was ten minutes long and it was the best we'd ever done it. Alisha - narrator 
Tybalt, my cousin! Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live!


 I learnt that you have to speak slower in a play than you have to in a movie. I have learnt lots about Shakespeare this week but the main one would be that he wrote sonnets as well as plays. 

The funniest part of the play would be when I couldn't open the vial (of poison) because the lid was stuck. 

I felt excited because I haven't been in a play for a long time.  
Cameron W - Romeo 


It was really fun and I love acting. It was a bit scary at first when we got on the stage, but then I got less nervous and it was easier. My favourite part was when I had to stab myself because I love fake dying /fainting; it's really fun. I would probably talk it a little slower if I did it again, but I talked better than I usually did. 

I think it was the best performance  that  we have ever done - better than the practices. I think everyone did their lines really well, and we all learnt a lot of acting skills, like showing contrast - which is when you show the difference between two opposites. For example, in "My only love, sprung from my only hate," you put the emphasis on love and hate. Jessica - Juliet

I was very proud of my speaking part, mostly because it was a good pace. I wasn't sure if I was loud enough, then asked my parents. They said I was. I also did very easy hand gestures. Things I would change next time I did it would be: I would have more eye contact with the audience and not laugh, or smile at the wrong time. 

In my opinion, the funniest part was Jackie's (Mercutio) death scene, because he was the first to die. It was also funny how he said, "O, I am hurt!" 

I learnt that I can be loud when I want to be. I was nervous when DC told me on Xbox that I was Lord Montague. I was then happy when I found out I only had two lots of lines to say.  I reckon I looked funny in my suit, with my Dad's shoes on.  I guess I looked old and smart. I was happy with me not falling down when I had pins and needles. 

I think the most improved actor was Cameron W (Romeo) because he did it at a good pace, but when in practice, he was talking too fast.  If he was a bit louder, he would have been just a bit better. The best angry/scary person was Karnjeet (Tybalt) because he scared the little kids in the front row. Fa'atonu - Lord Montague.

During the course of the term, I learnt a whole new side of Shakespeare. We mainly focused on William Shakespeare's Rome and Juliet. It was very interesting how he could write  a story that would fit any circumstance - whether it be today or in 200 years. Through learning this story, it makes you see that, though it was written 400 years ago, it can come to reality in this generation. 

When we first heard that we had to perform this play, I was a bit anxious. I was given the role of Lord Capulet. He has a couple of strong lines, and I was willing to take on the challenge. At first, I was dreading to learn my lines, but after a few run throughs it didn't seem at all that difficult. When we came to the final performance I didn't really feel nervous. I tired to act my part as best as possibl, and before we knew it, our performance was over. I personally thought Tybalt (Karnjeet) was outstanding. 

All in all, it was a very educational experience. Rudadiso - Lord Capulet.

Vile Montague! Condemned villain; thou must die!
