Romeo Talking about Friar Lawrence

Ignorant Friar, how can he talk about banishment when to be away from my love would kill me. It's killing me now not being with her. He doesn't understand, how can he, he is old and foolish. He doesn't understand love, he's never felt it, yet he has the audacity to stand there and profess that I was let off easy, that I should be grateful that I'm being punished for avenging the murder of my best friend. He thinks I should worship the ground that dear old Prince Escalus stands for allowing me to live, out of the kindness of his heart I can live a life deprived of my dear Juliet, a life of loneliness and heartache. Thank you Prince Escalus, can't wait. Friar called me a girl for the way I acted after being banished, he said I was a shameful woman and told me I should go see Juliet one last time before I leave. He still doesn't understand, the old fool, I would love to see Juliet, it's killing me to not see her, but seeing her and knowing it will be the last time I will ever see her is just too much to bare.
