Romeo and Juliet

Act  I, Scene 3

Lady Capulet

Nurse, where’s my daughter? Tell her to come to me?

Lady Capulet enters the room of Nurse

Juilet

Mother, did you not learn to knock first before entering the room

 

Lady Capulet

Oh dear? What are you guys doing?

 

Nurse

Sorry Lady Capulet, this is not what it seems like. I was just helping her put on some clothes.

 

Juilet

Never mind Nurse, it is time to tell to truth to her. We cannot hide our love any longer.

 

Lady Capulet

What are you talking about? What is going on?

 

Nurse

Juliet and I are madly in love with each other.

 

Lady Capulet

How is that possible? You are a girl Juliet, you should marry a man. Don’t be silly.

 

Juilet

I don’t want to be a girl and I don’t want to marry a man. I want to be a man and marry the nurse.

 

Lady Capulet

But what about Paris? I hired him especially for you. He is the most expensive male prostitute in town. I bought him for you, so that you could marry him and carry his baby.

 

 

Juilet

But I..

 

Nurse

Wait Juliet! Maybe you should consider marrying Paris, because I have to confess something. I have AIDS!

 

Juilet

No, my love. This is a tragedy! I don’t want you to die, I don’t want to live without you.

 

Lady Capulet

This a sign from God! You deserve to have this disease as a punishment. May you rot in hell!

 

Nurse

You witch! Tell Juliet the truth! You are not even her real mother!

 

Juilet

Mother is this the truth?

 

Lady Capulet

Nurse, you validated our agreement. Now, I have to kill you!

Lady Capulet kills the nurse

 

Juilet

NO MOTHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

Juliet strangles her mother

 

Juilet

Now I have nothing to live for! Nurse, I’m coming!

Juliet jumps from the balcony
