Mercutio insists them that the wound was enough to kill and he needed a surgeon at once, but no one realises that he isn’t fooling around til it was too late. The close-up shot that was used in this scene, made the audience feel the grasp of fate. It intensified the fact that the tragedy could have been avoided so easily (if only the wound had been seen by the others), yet fate was unchangeable as if it

Many describe Shakespeare’s works as timeless because, throughout several centuries, they have maintained a certain level of validity in their representation of society. This timelessness, however, is dependent upon the interpretations of the pieces and the transformations that they undertake when transcribed to the stage or film.
