Host: How do you feel about Rosaline?
Mercutio: That girl has Romeo wrapped around her finger! I don't know if she's just being rude or honestly not aware of Romeo's affection towards her, but his cries can be heard from the other side of town. I keep trying to tell Romeo to get over her already, I mean you can't force someone to love you! I even risked our lives to go to Montague's party to help Romeo but looks like he ran off, probably crying over Rosaline.
Host: Does Romeo listen to your advice about finding a lady that might treat him better?
Mercutio: His heart is brainwashing his own mind! I've known Romeo for some time now, and he's not one to be narrow-minded to new possibilities. But this lady Rosaline has Romeo under a spell or something because he refuses to even try to move on! It's honestly ridiculous! I would never let myself cry over any lady even my own true love.
Host: So I heard you had quite a quarrel with the Nurse of the Montague. What was running through your mind that led you to say such things to a lady?
Mercutio: Oh the Nurse? She's not a lady! Her rough appearance shows nothing of a lady. She was the one running around MY territory, talking some nonsense to my boy Romeo. Honestly, it was a good laugh, the boys and I had.
Host: Well then, what do you think the Nurse wanted to tell Romeo?
Mercutio: How would I know?!?! She probably was just talking gibberish like she always does. Nurse probably saw Romeo at the party and was just sent by old Capulets to deliver a message. Honestly not a big deal anyways!
Host: Well thank you for coming and answering some of our questions!
Mercutio: No problem, mate!
The way you portrayed Mercutio in terms of his thinking is spot on with how he really thought about Romeo and Rosaline.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really on point portrayal of Mercutio. I can tell from the way you write about him that he's a dramatic, exciting person...and that he isn't a big fan of the Nurse.
ReplyDeleteI think you portrayed Mercurio's personality perfectly! This really shows the difference in Mercutio's and Romeo's characters.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job at demonstrating who Mercutio is. I really felt that he was saying these words.
