Similarities Between Romeo And Juliet Epilogue

The haze over Montague’s mind began to clear. “Princess!” Montague yelled impulsively. He immediately regretted calling her by royal title. How could he be so stupid? Now the pack knew who Olivia was. “Organize!” The mage with the leaky sore hollered. The pack dispersed, seemingly to increase their efforts, now knowing that a Volpi was in the mix, and vulnerable. Montague, along with others in the escape party, both men and young men, unsheathed their blades. One mage grabbed Gretchen, the princess’ handmaid, and attempted to gag her with a piece of cloth she had torn from the bottom of her robe, but Gretchen fought, catching her by the wrist. Without hesitating, the farmer swung furiously at the warty one, impaling her through the

There was blood splatter all over the dock house windows. No one, Montague thought, needed to be reminded of that color.

Like Burton, he’d sworn to protect the Volpi bloodline and defend the people against the malevolence that hunted them. Even though Demitri was once a student of Burton it was awkward for Montague to talk about him because Demitri had walked away from the Resistance and Burton’s plan years ago. The Science Minister stared into the fire as he cleaned the meat from the bones of a rabbit carcass. “So why did you kill Ben Paddett?” he asked with a prickly grin.

He was sure that it wasn’t natural and believed it was the direct cause of all of these illnesses our people have been suffering recently.
