Characters in Romeo and Juliet
The following is a list of characters in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet sorted by family allegiance.
House of Escalus
Prince Escalus
Prince Escalus, the Prince of Verona, is the Conflictor of the feuding families. Escalus is the voice of authority in Verona. He appears only three times within the text and only to administer justice following major events in the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. He first punishes Capulet and Montague for the quarrel between Tybalt, Benvolio, and a handful of servants. He returns too late to stop the fatal brawls between Tybalt and Mercutio and, subsequently, Tybalt and Romeo. Escalus is prepared to execute Romeo for his offense—Romeo's killing Tybalt—but lightens the sentence to lifetime banishment from Verona, when Benvolio insists that Tybalt started the quarrel by murdering Mercutio, a kinsman to the Prince. Prince Escalus returns in the final scene—V.iii—following the double suicide of Romeo and Juliet, and at last orders the lords of the feuding families to make peace.

by: CobaltCry at my feet; The god made of Man,
Drinking your face with my hands,
You were the one clinging to me,
There's nothing but the sex you gave us both,
I was always stronger than you,
I'm burying your soul with my boots,
Walking away, fucking and drunk.
Remember ten minutes of your worst time for me.
The ocean was trying to swallow the land,
I don't remember, the words never leave.
Those moments won't... Fuck I forgot.
Lets burn down together.
Lets burn down our houses together.
Lets burn down forever.
Lets burn down our children together.
I'll spit on you again but I don't know when,
I'll wait to see you outside the gates of heaven,
Now I could explain what I couldn't back then,
The devil walk me away with a sympathetic grin.
Lets burn down together.
Lets burn down our houses together.
Lets burn down forever.
Lets burn down our children together.
Burn me down, shoot me in the chest,
Burn me down, shoot me in the chest,
Burn me down, shoot me in the chest,
Burn me down, shoot me in the chest,
Lets fuck one last time, In a burning bed.
Lets fuck one last time, In a burning bed.
Lets fuck one last time, In a burning bed.
