Romeo and Juliet- Lady Capulet's letter to Juliet

Dear Juliet,
            You’re my daughter and I don’t want to tell you what to do with your life. But Paris asked me about marrying you and I think you should marry Paris it’ll bring you good.  He’s a counties man and He’s related to the prince so he’ll protect you well. He’s also wealthy. Why can’t you see that age doesn’t matter? At your age I was already married to your father and had you. Now look at you my sweet Juliet, you’ve grown up so well. If you do decide not to marry him then how are we going to be seen to the community? I’ll tell you the family of Capulet will be known as the family that’s daughter didn’t marry because she refused to marry such a great man because she thought she was too young and not ready. Please dear Juliet realize that you should take this chance and not hesitate (before it’s gone) and don’t listen to your father saying wait 2 more summers.

LADY CAPULET:
Well, think of marriage now; younger than you 
Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, 
Are made already mothers. By my count, 
I was your mother much upon these years 
That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: 
The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.” (1:3, 75-80)
            I wrote the letter to Juliet from Lady Capulet’s view because one section form the book talks about when Lady Capulet talks to the nurse and Juliet about Paris asking Juliet to marry him. I first thought what Lady Capulet was feeling or thinking at the time then wrote this letter as if I was her. I wrote this using how I thought how she was feeling and was thinking when she was talking or was going to write this to Juliet.
