In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet I interpreted a gloomy and tense tone throughout the duration of the iconic fight scene between the Capulets and Montagues.

Romeo: “Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain’ back again that late thou gavest me, for Mercutio’s soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company. Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. Tybalt:
