This also evidently proves how the Shakespeare sharpens many skills used by high schoolers on a daily basis, based on how most lines will require them to use and practice these skills when reading the…
Mercutio and Benvolio both felt the raging sun as it threw its scorching, afternoon rays onto the town square in Verona. Benvolio pleaded that Mercutio should leave with him as he feared there would be a bad ending to the day if they should be confronted by a Capulet and an argument occurred.
