Act 3, Scene 4: Juliet's Judgment

How could this have happened? It was all too sudden. Tybalt slaughtered Mercutio, then Romeo killed Tybalt, and now my Romeo, my husband, my love, is banished! Out of all the men in Verona, it had to be my husband to be exiled. And now, my parents are oppressing me, and forcing me to marry someone I know nothing about! It's terrible! Whatever happened to "Juliet's too young Paris", and "Wait until she's fourteen Paris"? I had everything, and now I have nothing and no one to turn to. My father came barging in earlier today. He threw me to the ground and threatened to disown me if I wouldn't agree to have Paris as my husband in three days. Even my mother, my "oh so gentle" mother, decided to push me into this mess. Yet the worst of all, is my betraying, unloyal nurse. At first, she supported me when I married Romeo, and spoke such great words of him. But now, she suddenly tells me that I should clear my mind of my husband, and marry Paris. "Oh, he's a lovely gentleman!" Well I don't agree! She's a horrible person that nurse, pretending to be so confident, yet so afraid of my father that she completely betrays me. How dare she? How dare my parents? How dare the Montagues and how dare the Capulets who cannot end this conflict? If I were not a Capulet, or if Romeo were not a Montague, perhaps this chaos could have been avoided. They took away my husband and they took away my happiness. They think they have pushed me into a corner, where I can do nothing but agree to their commands. But what they don't know, and what they haven't yet taken, is my power to erase all that's happened, and take my own life.
