Journal #4 - Is it Worth It?

 Act 2, Scenes 3-6

    I do somewhat agree with Romeo's statement because Romeo and Juliet's love will be a joyful time for the both of them and could potentially end the horrible quarrel between the Capulets and Montagues. Their love, even if it cost them their lives, will make their last few days feel bliss and will end the fighting between the two families. In Act 2, Scene 6, lines 6-8, Romeo's exact statement is,"Do thou but close our hands with holy words, Then love-devouring death do what he dare— It is enough I may but call her mine." Romeo is saying that death can take him the day after his and Juliet's marriage is official, but Romeo just wants to be able to call Juliet his wife. Their marriage could end the seemingly endless squabble between the Capulets and the Montagues, and it would make both Romeo and Juliet extremely happy to be with the one they "love". This is why I agree with Romeo's statement.
