This is an amazing analysis, you should do more, like one on Romeo meeting Juliet etc... but I understand that it isn't currently being taught by you. Thank you for this resource!
This was a very interesting analysis! I'm currently playing the role of Mercutio in a production of Romeo and Juliet at my university, and I've greatly enjoyed incorporating multiple critical and filmic interpretations into the character. I will admit that I never saw quite so much violence in the language of this speech as what is ostensibly revealed here, but certainly the disgust with love is something that cannot be ignored!
I feel a deeper irony in this passage, with a more internal reading/acting. Merc- reflecting on/aware of those unconscious urges and drives - not wholly Freudian - that cause people to harm themselves and others. Sure, "love" but beyond love are other cravings drives, socially acceptable actions that niggle in our brains and cause hurt. Again, mainly to oneself and often to others: greed, violence, ambition, etc. Brilliant.
Brilliant and insightful! Beautifully analysed. May you also do the same breakdown from a speech from The two gentlemen of Verona (Protues Foresworn speech 2.6) Thank you!!
I don't think i could be more bored but yet interested at the same time

I thank you tremendously for the analysis!
Why do you pronounce spider when you underline spinner’s legs.
Any one understand the meaning of the line : "Time out a' mind the faeries' coachmakers." ??
It means, ‘for as long as anyone can remember, they have built coaches for the fairies’.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thank you!!
