Hi tumblr I started animaticing the duel. I’m insane so I want to have the scene before hand as well. Was only able to finish the pre-scene before school starts back up again, but hopefully I’ll continue over winter break! Incase I don’t lmaoo ^^^
One small detail in Romeo and Juliet that I love is that Mercutio is explicitly invited to the Capulet Ball. Why does this happen. How does Capulet even know who Mercutio is. Tybalt explicitly knows that Mercutio is friends with Romeo but Capulet doesn't??? Somehow??? Also why does Capulet say "Mercutio and his brother". I really want to know what history Capulet has with Mercutio. So many questions.
TYBALT AND MERCUTIO AREN’T OPPOSITES, THEY’RE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN
THEY ARE INHERENTLY THE SAME BUT ONE IS SEEN AS VIOLENT AND THE OTHER IS SEEN AS IMPULSIVE
THEY ARE ENEMIES FIGHTING THE SAME CAUSE
TYBALT WAS NOT SIMPLY A VOLATILE CHARACTER FOR NO REASON, HE WAS RAISED INTO THAT LINE OF THINKING BY HIS UNCLE AND AUNT (possibly his parents?) AND JULIET IS THE POLER OPPOSITE OF HIM, SHE IS NOT VIOLENT
SHE IS IMMATURE BECAUSE SHE IS A CHILD, HE IS MATURE BECAUSE HE WAS EXPOSED TO AND DESENSITIZED TO THAT SORT OF VIOLENCE
THEY ARE YIN AND YANG
SHE STARTS AND ENDS THE ACTION HE IS THE ACTION
SO WHEN HE DIES SHE DIES AS WELL, THEY ARE INTERCONNECTED
