Lord Capulet Monologue

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I, Lord Montague am here today to talk you about my beloved son and my daughter in law who has sadly died. How I have learnt many things from this tragic death. It pains me to say this but it was my very own fault for all these deaths. However it was also my beloved sons fault as well as many other people but I will talk to all you fellow parents about the mistakes I have made as a father.

My fellow parents you must understand that your child is the most pernicious gift and losing a child is the most difficult thing and then losing my wife has really made me think about raising a child and about parenting and all the dreadful mistakes I have made. That is why I have called all you parents so you can learn from my mistake.

A couple of days ago my son first laid eyes on Juliet at Lord Capulets house, he instantly fell in love and they secretly got married the next morning. After the marriage Tybalt killed Mercutio my beloved nephew and Romeo killed Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin for doing so. Sadly my son was banished and Juliet was set to marry Paris, Juliet did not want to marry and she took a potion making her seem dead. A letter was sent to Romeo explaining his love took a potion but he did not receive the letter but a word that Juliet was dead. He went to Juliet’s grave and killed Paris who was there too and then my son killed himself seeing Juliet dead. Juliet then woke up and killed herself seeing that Romeo was dead. Oh, this tragic story brings me to tears so many deaths have happened because of my hatred for the Montagues. I have learnt that the hatred I once had ruined many peoples life and my very own family and now I know how much damage hate can
