Act 3 Scene 1
In Act 3 Scene 1 is clearly shows how much Romeo cared for Mercutio. This is shown when Benvolio says "Brave Mercutio is dead". This scene is when Romeo kills Tybalt because he killed Mercutio. He avenged the death of his best friend instead of staying with his wife. Clearly, He rather does something dangerous instead let someone get away with hurting his family. Which makes it hard for Romeo and Juliet to be together. They got married and care for each other a lot and he sacrificed that all for the person who has always been with him. All this shows the type of character Romeo is.
Act 2 Scene 5
In this Act one, I really liked how The Nursed goes and talks to Romeo just to show how much they cared for each other. She helps Romeo plan their marriage. she does this my going to Romeo to set up everything. She first tells Romeo to not mess with her if he is going to hurt her. Then they talk to Friar to make sure the wedding is arranged. You can tell the nurse cares bc she says "You know how to chose a man". She also says " I am a drudge and toil in your delight". The first one shows that she is proud of Juliet and the choices she has made. The second one demonstrates that the Nurse is happy to see Juliet so happy.

Act 1 Scene 5
In Act One Scene Five, Is where Romeo and Juliet meet and immediately they feel a connection. When they feel this connection they kiss each other. This is revealed in the book when Juliet say's " You kiss by the book" which is a compliment to Romeo. Also in the movie, we watched in class it shows that they kiss once then they have a full make out scene. All this shows the connection they have with each other. At first, when they meet they just want to introduce themselves but soon lead to something a lot more powerful and filled with emotions. When they meet the connections is shown when Juliet says "You do wrong your hand too much" which shows that they immediately have a connection. The emotions they feel for each other is described in the book and shown in movies with a great deal of emotion.

Reporter: sir, how do you feel towards the brawl between Tybalt Romeo and Mercutio?
Random montague: This is crazy! I don't understand why Romeo is at all in blame for Tybalt's death

Reporter: But Romeo still killed him right?
Random montague: only becuase he killed brave Mercutio
Reporter: as a form of vengence
Random montague: not only as a honorable form of vengence, but doing what the law would've done anyways! This is an outrage! period.

Act 3 Scene 1: Interview with Mercutio
Act 3 Scene 1
Host: So, Mercutio, your thoughts on Tybalt?
Host: So, Mercutio, your thoughts on Tybalt?
Mercutio: He’s quite cocky and loves to fight. If you let him get too full of himself things can turn bad.
Host: Why do you think Romeo refused to fight Tybalt?
Mercutio: Romeo's never been one for fighting, he always preferred poetry and art. He’s probably just lovesick... and still obsessing over Rosaline.
Host: Tell me, why did you volunteer to duel Tybalt?
Mercutio: It would have been an embarrassment. Romeo wouldn’t even fight for his own name! I fought Tybalt to defend Romeo’s honor. And Tybalt, how could I let the cocky cousin wallow in his pride?
Act 5 Scene 3: Friar
I do not know what I have done. What seemed to be a helpful task turned into a tragedy. I am so ashamed of myself. I must be punished for my horrible deeds and for the lies I have told. If I hadn't left Juliet alone, she would still be here today. If I could've arrived at the tomb faster, I could have stopped Romeo from drinking the poison. God forgive me! I have caused the agony in both the Capulet and Montague families. I shall never live in peace with myself after taking away the happiness of the Capulets and Montagues. O God please forgive me! Let Romeo and Juliet rest together in peace!
Act 3 Scene 1
Act 2 Scene 4
During this scene, Shakespear gives the audience a look into the dynamic between the Nurse and Benvolio. Benvolio goes back and forth teasing the Nurse as she falls to anger and frustration. This cements the serious attitude of the Nurse and the jokester appearance of Benvolio. They go back and forth arguing and teasing and then Benvolio and his boys start to mess with the Nurse's dress. She eventually gets fed up and just leaves.
Act 3 Scene 5: The Anger turn into kill
After Mercurio is being slain by Tybalt, Romeo stand up
How in the World you dare to fight in the public again, this is disobeying the Prince's order, but since you slain my dear friend, I will definitely fight you, I will slay your life, Tybalt, in order to restore the glory of the Montagues.
After the fight end, Tybalt being slain, and Romeo win
Yes, Mercutio, I did the vengeance for you, you can now rest in peace, I need to get out of this mess before the Prince come and find out this place of a mess. Tybalt I am sorry, I have to kill you, but indeed I don't really want to fight anyone, I just want to stay with my love - Juliet. I will seek Friar for help.
