“O’ Romeo, O’ Romeo,” You have probably heard this line before. Did you know it’s from a play called “The Tradies of Romeo and Juliet”? The play “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare is interesting to me when the flat character, Mercutio, dies, also when the protagonist hides their marriage, which created a dramatic irony, one of my favorite scene consists of the monologue that the Friar had.
The play has many fighting scenes in it, but my favorite was when Romeo’s friend Mercutio is killed. Mercutio couldn’t defend himself because Romeo was in his way trying to stop the fight by saying “Draw, Benvolio; beat down their weapons, Gemtlem en, for shame forbear this outrage.” I enjoy this scene because Mercutio was bleeding to death, but didn’t stop joking around. The idea that he is a flat character stands out to the audience in this scene. A flat character is someone who only has one character trait, in this situation the character trait was a joker or clown.
