Group C Act One

Throughout Act one, Mercutio has been loyal to romeo and the Montagues. In scene 4, Mercutio is trying to convince Romeo to have a good time and cheer up[page645]. Mercutio wants the best for Romeo which shows true friendship and loyalty[1:4, page 645]. He wishes for Romeo to dance and gives him good advice[Will be discussed with Madison]. This leaves me with these questions, Who is Friar Lawrence? How old is he? Does he like flapjacks?-Will

Tybalt is obsessed with Montagues. His hatred is so strong that when he sees a Montague that he tries to hurt them. For example on page 631, Tybalt refuses peace with Benvolio because the hatred runs so deep between the families that he refuses to listen to reason and attacks. Also in page 650, at the party he doesn't stop to know why Romeo is there and instintively goes for his sword because the Montagues are the enemies of the Capulets. The hatred is so thick between the families, so Tybalt can't ever see peace for both lineages.-Bobby

Tybalt is an immature, impatient, and unwise character. This is shown multiple times throughout Act One of "Romeo and Juliet". In the first scene of this act, Tybalt proves his immaturity by jumping unwisely into a fight that could have been resolved peacefully. Tybalt doesn't stop to think about the consequences of his actions, he simply has the idea to do something, and he does it. While Tybalt may think that he is doing a brave act fueled by anger from an ancient feud, in reality he is just making poor decisions that may one day result in his demise. This occurs again in Scene Five, where Tybalt unwisely decides to act against Romeo. Had his uncle not been there, a fight may have took place that could have resulted in death on both sides. Tybalt doesn't think before he acts, and in not doing so proves he is an immature, impatient, and unwise character. -Tony

Mercutio can be childish at times. In scene 1 act 4, he tells Romeo this long story about a fairy queen who tricks people into thinking of things that won't happen, through their dreams or while they're asleep. On page 647, Mercutio even admits that the fairytale that he just told Romeo is for kids. Another example, on page 645, Mercutio talks about his eyebrows as he puts on his mask right before entering the Capulet's house. Mercutio cares about such little unimportant things; sometimes it sounds like a little kid that talking instead of a young adult. - Min

In act 1 scene 4 mercutio talks about his dreams. He talks about the Queen Mab, who is a farie in his dreams. he tells Romeo and Benvolio that the Queen goes into peoples dreams and makes them dream about falling in love with people. the Queen also allows people to dream about other things that they want like getting rich. But the Queen doesn't always give dreams that are good. mercutio says that "and then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, Of healths five fathom deep, and then anon. Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes". That means that the man who drempt the dream dreampt about killing people and cutting there throats. -Anna T.

All throughout Act 1, Mercutio offers great advice to Romeo, his dear friend. Mercutio tells Romeo to go and dance and [|find] other women to love(Pg.644-645, Act 1 Scene 4). He tells Romeo this because he doesn't want him to be sad about Rosaline. Mercutio obviously gave Romeo great advice, because Romeo took it very well, not by dancing, but by [|finding] someone new to love(Pg.651, Act 1 Scene 5). Romeo even took the advice one [|step] ahead of what Mercutio said, because within five minutes of meeting Juliet, he kissed her.(Pg.652, Act 1 Scene 5). Mercutio is obviously a good friend for Romeo to have because of this wonderful piece of advice he gave him. :)M.Emig || __Chris- Tybalt has an aggressive nature:__ In Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet we meet Tybalt Capulet, who is Juliet's cousin. As we have seen in two cases within the act Tybalt is not the firendliest characters when it comes to his personality. As seen on page 631 Tybalt is very aggressive when it comes to having a fight that invoves the Montague family. He immediatley wants his sword to fight the servants that have shall we say " flicked him off." I have two comments to you my god Tybalt. HOTHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ANGER MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! On page 650 when some people of the Montague Family are invading the Capulet party Tybalt recognizes Romeo's voice and yet again wants to get his sword to fight and kill Romeo!!! Another comment GET SOME COUNSELING BIG BOY!!!!!! AND DON'T GET YOUR PANTS IN A NICKER!!!!!!!!
