Finally Romeo had arrived! We had been looking for him for a while after the party and he had eventually showed up. He looked pale and thin. Probably must have been up all night with his girl, but she was not with him at all. He must be ready for other women now. Especially the women who are obsessed with love just like him. Apparently he had "important business" to take care of, but we all know what he means. Haha! Romeo has hit the target and made a score! After a few jokes were thrown around between us, the conversation became a little too fun. Benvolio decided when we had to stop even when the fun just started! Soon enough, a LARGE maiden voyage and her scrub arrived searching for our dear Romeo. I was just teasing her, but she couldn't take a slight joke! The nurse just took offense to everything that came out of my mouth. She was speaking in a weird way that obviously was a problem and a few jokes were created out of that. Ha! Soon enough, Benvolio and I decided to leave the nurse and Romeo on their own to speak.
There was still no sign of Romeo anywhere and Benvolio and I feared that he had been attacked at night. Even though Romeo had been lost, Benvolio found a letter from Tybalt, Lord Capulet's nephew, sent to Lord Montague's house. It must have been a challenge and we both decided that Romeo was the one to answer and accept the challenge. Poor Romeo! His absence had must us believe that he is already dead! The love that drowns him had officially murdered his name and he is now incapable to face Tybalt. Tybalt is much more powerful than Romeo. "He is tougher than the Prince of Cats. He does everything by the book"(2:4:18-19). He is the master of duels because he is from the finest school of fencing. Tybalt is skilled in fencing and has mastered many moves that could easily take someone down. UGH! Tybalt just makes me so upset for his personality in general. He must always be so sophisticated and carry manners everywhere he goes as if he were some prince! Let's hope Tybalt and Romeo never meet.
After the party, Benvolio and I began to look for Romeo. Ha! I called and called Romeo, trying to conjure him as if he was a spirit. I began calling out Rosaline, hoping that he could hear all of the filthy things we called out just to get him to come to us. Searching for him was incredibly difficult because he just would not appear! "Just cry out,' Ah me!' Just say 'love' and 'dove'."(2:1:10) I hoped and prayed that he would appear after hearing my call of love, but still nothing happened. Eventually I called for Rosaline, speaking of her body, speaking about "...her straight legs, by her trembling thighs, and by the regions right next to her thighs."(2:1:19) Benvolio thought that if Romeo heard me he would be angered, but he wouldn't be upset with me unless I asked for someone to have sex with Rosaline instead of him. Everything I said was true and honest and all I was doing was calling out the woman he loves to lure him out of the dark. A few disgusting jokes were thrown around here and there for a short laugh. Haha! Eventually, we left after our search for Romeo.
