 Act II Scenes ii-v Summary I woke up this morning, and decided to take a walk. When I was walking down the trail, I saw Friar Lawrence is picking herbs while talking to himself. I decided to stay while to talk to him. But then, Romeo entered and I heard friar comment that he thinks that Romeo get much sleep the night before and asks if it is because of Rosaline. I thought so too! He's so infatuated with that girl...Poor Romeo, how did he come to love nun? But I was wrong... Romeo replied that his love for Rosaline exists no more and that he now loves the sweet and tender Juliet. I was shocked at hearing of Romeo's sudden change of heart and so was Friar Lawrence. And Romeo asked if the friar can marry Romeo and Juliet! The friar looked very shocked, but he eventuallyagreed to marry Romeo and Juliet. I think that he hoped that their marriage will bring about peace between the Montagues and the Capulets.

At noon, I went to visit my friend, and I heard her that she overheard Mercutio and Benvolio were talking about what happened to Romeo last night. That makes me wonder, what happened to Romeo last night after the party? But what struck me most was when my friend told me about Tybalt's letter to Romeo, which challenged him to a duel. She said that Mercutio proclaimed that Romeo is no match for Tybalt and will probably be killed, because Tybalt is a master swordsman. I agree, poor Romeo! Tybalt is a great swordsman with such agility and strength. My friend said that she saw Romeo arriving soon after, and she said that she was shocked by the change in Romeo's personality and atmosphere; she told me that Romeo is back to the person he was before he feel in love with Rosaline. I guess he really loves his Juliet. Then, she saw the Nurse enter with Peter the servant and ask for Romeo. Soon after, Benvolio and Mercutio left after Mercutio has irritated the Nurse by making jokes. Well, what can you expect from Mercution? And then she said that she saw Romeo and the Nurse talk in private. She told me not to tell anyone about what she overheard because she thinks that it will be very dangerous for both the Montagues and the Capulets if they were to know of Romeo's schemes. She said that the Nurse seemed very concerned about Juliet and told Romeo that he better not harm Juliet in anyway. Of course, Romeo sweared that it will never happen and asked the Nurse to tell Juliet to come to Friar Lawrence's cell that afternoon for their marriage. He also asked her to set up a cloth ladder so that he will be able to go into Juliet's room.

Later, I had some business at the Capulet's house. There, i saw Juliet in the orchard. She was probably waiting for the nurse to return. My guess was correct, and when the Nurse returned, I saw her she demandingto hear what Romeo said. At first, the Nurse claimed that she is too tired to tell Juliet what he said and tells her to go away. However, she eventually told her when Juliet kept pestering her. The Nurse told her that she is to go to Friar Lawrence's cell, where she will be wed to Romeo.

After hearing the conversation, I decided to secretly go to the friar's cell to see what happens to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Friar Lawrence were waiting for Juliet at the cell, and I heard the friar warning Romeo to love Juliet moderately and not so passionately, talking about how violent delights have violent ends. Soon after, Juliet entered and Romeo and Juliet were wed by Friar Lawrence. I had to leave shortly after they were wed because I had to meet another friend of mine.
