Act 3 Scene 1: Interview with Mercutio

Act 3 Scene 1

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?

  1. I love how you portrayed Mercurtio's personality, it really ties back to his actions in the script. Great job! :)

  2. Is this an interview that would have taken place if Mercutio had won the duel?
