In the play Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt and Mercutio have a duel, and Mercutio dies. We chose to reenact this scene because it causes a most of conflicts and it lets us see the different sides of the characters. Additionally, it separated Romeo and Juliet, leaving them heartbroken.
We interpreted Romeo’s character as we did in our play because he is ecstatic that he just married Juliet, which also explains why he skips around the stage. It’s also the reason why Romeo tries to make peace with Tybalt, his new cousin-in-law, and why he’s saddened when Tybalt calls him a villain.

Mercutio is not as calm as Benvolio and Romeo, and gets offended easily; that is why he gets angry and fights with Tybalt.

We tried to portray our characters to the best of our abilities and tried to have them acting as they seem they should because their actions had a huge effect on the lives of the Capulet’s and
