@shakespeare side of Tumblr, is this okay?
P.s. its meant to be a diary entry for Jessica the night she runs away from Shylock in the Merchant Of Venice. I still need to add some more writing so any tips plz?
Dear Diary,
The tender tree that is my secret passion for Lorenzo will soon bear fruit. Too long has my father trapped me in this sober prison, free from the folly of the outside world. Too long have I been instructed to converse with others whom he sees fit, never trusting my own judgement, sound or no. I have made plans to escape, and Lorenzo, my sweet love, will not fail me as I have been failed before. My father will not let me gaze upon the merry Christians? Well then, I shall marry one, as an eternal reminder of my insult upon his honour, and the pagan faith that he bid me follow unto my dying breath.
My father speaks of family, of deference to one’s own blood, but if so, then why does he torture me thus? For some time, I have perceived his own thirst for continued monetary gain, and yet still, I am surprised when it is plain he cares more for his precious ducats than his own fair Jessica.
