To illustrate how two Houses (and their agendas) can destroy the youth of a nation.
Mercutio is groovygirl’s favorite Shakespearean character (with Richard III and Hamlet not far behind). Here is his key scene from Romeo and Juliet (about 9 min).
No, ’tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a
church-door; but ’tis enough, ’twill serve: ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
This is Zeffirelli’s version. And although, gg loves Baz’s Romeo and Juliet, she doesn’t care for this scene in his version.
(Side musing: and yes, that is Michael York playing the part of Tybalt .)
“Seems,” madam? Nay, it is; I know not “seems.”
