This is a picture of a wildfire, which I feel is similar to Romeo's reaction after Tybalt kills Mercutio. Wildfires are crazy, chaotic, and practically uncontrollable. Romeo, after he processes what happened to Mercutio, succumbs to a primal, savage instinct. His one desire is to avenge his friend's death by killing Tybalt, no matter the consequence. Just like a wildfire, there is little anyone can do stop Romeo's actions.
Nice explanation! What do you think the quote "I am fortune's fool" plays into this analogy?
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison to a wildfire because of how fast it happened and how violent it was.
ReplyDeleteI like this comparison as it really shows Romeo's erratic behavior during the fight as well as right after.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture that you decided to put. I think that this is very true when it comes to what Romeo was thinking and acting like after.
ReplyDeleteThis is a god comparison to the situation. Was this just Romeo's reaction, or everyone's at the scene?
