Dear Capulet, my deepest condolences. I would like to take full responsibility for the death of sweet Juliet. I regret agreeing to marry her and Romeo but when she came to me she was desperate. After Romeo was banished and Juliet had her marriage to Paris approaching, Juliet wanted nothing to do with Paris and she and Romeo had asked me to find a way to make it possible for them to spend their lives together. The plan I had made to fake her death and have Romeo find her when she woke up, seemed like a good plan at the time. If I could do it over I would.

But I know Juliet would not want this. Juliet would hate the idea that we were blaming ourselves for this tragedy because that is the kind of person she was, modest and
