Hello, my name is Mercutio. The Act and Scene Numbers that I will be Talking about are Act 3 Scene 1. I remember walking down the streets of Verona with Benvolio and my page. Benvolio was begging me to retire for it was a hot day. He also noted there were Capulets nearby and because it was a hot day he surely thought if we get into a brawl if we did bump into them. He claimed that “hot days, is the mad blood stirring.” line 4. I simply responded by telling Benvolio that he was like a drunk entering a tavern tosses his sword on the table and states “God send me no need of thee!” (line 7) however, by his second cup of wine, he draws his sword on the waiter without reason. Benvolio was puzzled he asked “Am I really such a fellow?” line 10. I responded
During Act 3, Scene 1, a brawl occurs between Mercutio and Tybalt. In this, Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him from under Romeo’s arm as Romeo tried to stop the fight. Out of revenge for Mercutio’s death, Romeo kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus arrives along with some of the Capulets and Montagues to enquire into the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio explains what happened and The Prince decided to sentence Romeo to exile from Verona. Romeo deserved to be banished from Verona because he committed murder, which is a serious crime and putting Romeo to death would have escalated the feud between the families.
Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet effectively appropriates the Shakespearean 16th century love tragedy. So why has Luhrmann decided to appropriate Romeo and Juliet? By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters. The form has had an obvious change as the original play has been adapted into a film. Characters in the film have also been appropriated to correspond with Luhrmann's contextual concerns. Hence, Luhrmann successfully appropriates the original Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet by maintaining similar themes, but altering the form and characterisation to fit his contextual concerns.

Instead of feeling joyful of escaping capital punishment, Romeo mourns over the fact that he could never see Juliet again.

As the director, I will ask the three characters to showcase the difference between the youth and
Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet is set on a street in Verona. Benvolio and Mercutio are walking in the streets. Benvolio tries to convince Mercutio to go home because there are Capulet’s in the streets, and actions will surely be reckless. Mercutio responds by comparing Benvolio to a violent man who denies that he is, who fights when no fight is called “Thou are like one of these fellows that, when he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says ‘God send me no need of thee!’ and by the operation of the second cup draws him on the drawer, when indeed there is no need.” (pg 114) Mercutio continues to tell Benvolio that he is easily provoked and that he is feisty, in hopes to rile Benvolio up.

In Act 1, scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo states that he listens to his dreams. Romeo also states that he is depressed over a dream where he dies after the dinner party. Mercutio, then responds with his big speech in which he says, the fairy, Queen Mab, delivers humans dreams and fears as they sleep, and that that’s the reason why Romeo has been having all these awful fears and dreams. Mercutio also told Romeo that he should ignore his dream, because it is way too childish and ridiculous to believe. Mercutio's big speech was a good way to get Romeo to get over Rosaline and become more carefree like him, because Romeo is overthinking things way too much to be able to fall in love again.
