silenced or marginalised character from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet


To reveal a perspective, point of view or interpretation from the position of a silenced or marginalised character from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

The speech/presentation is to be in the form of an interior monologue of the marginalized/silenced character Mercutio where he does not want Romeo to marry his mistress, Juliet, because he knows it will cause trouble between the two families (Act 2, Scene 1). The monologue is to be written from Mercutio’s perspective, exploring motivations and revealing inner thoughts. The interpretation may challenge the dominant reading of the play or it may provide a perspective of the play, which is not ordinarily seen or heard.
