The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, is a tragedy about two lovers whose deaths make there fighting families come back together. The scene that my group chose to perform was act lll scene l. This scene was very important in the book because this is when Romeo's best friend Mercutio finds out that the girl he's in love with is a Capulet. Also there is a fight that takes place within this scene it's with Tybalt Juliet's cousin who hates Romeo. Since all of this is happening in one scene it was challenging to take the role of Mercutio because you need to bring out different emotions like sadness, then anger. In this paper I will analyze the text for my character Mercutio.
