Romeo and Juliet Persuasive Letter
Dear My Love Juliet,
Oh my Sweat, what a treacherous, remorseful event that has occurred. I am very sorry. I have slain your cousin Tybalt. I did not mean to be the force that killed your cousin, it was from mere impetuous thoughts belonging to me that lead to his slaying. You must be shocked and I don’t blame you as I am too in utter disbelief. I would have never done this in a million lifetimes.
Yet this death did have a purpose. Your cousin Tybalt killed my friend Mercutio, kinsman of the Prince. As I saw the lifeless body of my friend, anger swept through my bones. My body got hot and my mind went elsewhere. As a result of this, I did the unspeakable. Prince Escalus ordered making my fate the twin of Tybalt's, but somehow was persuaded to reduce it to exile. But no, this is still not to my satisfaction, but rather contributes to my woe. I cannot stand being without you, for that is worse than a man throwing one thousand knives at my chest one by one. Verona is no longer my home though, so you must understand my predicament. Also, just hope that I can come back soon. I wish to be pardoned by the Prince so I will not be exiled anymore, but I do not ask anything of you. I have hurt you enough, and I do not know how to make any of my atrocious actions up to you. And as I said before, I only want your understanding, not your pity, my dear. I could not know, but yet I do not regret marrying you. That was the most wonderful thing I have ever done. I will ward off any kind of hardships that will try to break us apart. I am looking forward to our next greeting, my love. Love Your Dearest, Romeo

    Although Hamlet is characterized as relatively rational in his acts, he nonetheless still possess a strong desire to enact just vengeance on those who have wronged him. While Hamlet arrives at a propitious opportunity to kill Claudius in Act III, while the unknowing murderer sits in prayer while Hamlet, dagger in hand, watches, he ultimately chooses not to, postponing the act until his uncle “is drunk asleep, or in his rage / Or in th' incestuous pleasure of his bed / At game a-swearing, or about some act / That has no relish of salvation in ’t” (III.iii.90-94). Hamlet wishes not only for his uncle to pay the ultimate price for his sins – his life – he wants Claudius to suffer in eternal damnation, reflecting the intensity of Hamlet’s feeling (Bloom 20). Only now do audiences realize the full extent to which Hamlet wishes for vengeance. Even among Hamlet’s wit and the guise of his “antic disposition”, passion and hatred…

    However, sometimes, you might slip up and let the enemy catch you without a pray in your mouth or a scripture on your heart. I’ve been there one time too many and when it happens, it not always easy to get back track. This is my advice to you, or at least, it’s what I do when the enemy catches me off guard and sneak an attack. I watch a funny program on T.V., get out the house or go to the movie theater.…

    I have made a mistake which I cannot undo, in the moment it seemed to be an essential task. I killed Tybalt, if I wouldn't have would I really be a man? I recall Tybalt showering me with insults, in an attempt to try finishing what he had started back at the party, but at that point in the day I wasn't about to get into a scuffle with him and disturb the peace in this city. Even then, I understood that Tybalt fought with many citizens in Verona and I was well aware that I needed to hold back my retort, Tybalt was always a thorn in my side. I continue to have flashbacks of my friend, Mercutio, bleeding on the ground. I recall every sensation I had while I was smoldering in anger. When I remember that part of the incident, I don’t regret seeing Tybalt laying on the ground with blood flowing out of him… But from my actions I had broken the peace in Verona, everything…
