Benvolio and Romeo <3333333333333 I love Mercutio too!

John McEnery has a humanistic, not too handsome, slightly mussed-up look about him; it fits this role so well you can't think of Mercutio without dredging up his performance.
-
Is M's behavior due to his being a manic depressive, being a secret homo (this scene's fave interpretation) or because he somehow was aware that he and his best friend were doomed?
-
Romeo and Mercutio's bond is so clear at the end of this. It's really cute. Personally, I always thought Mercutio was jealous of Rosaline because he thought she was taking Romeo away from him, and that was why he made fun of Romeo for being in 'love'.

It's from Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version of _Romeo and Juliet_.
It was edited because not everything moves the plot forward or gives us much more information about Mercutio than the shorter version does. The lighting and sound production and the remarkable acting by John McEnery---none of which were available at the turn of the 17th century---do the job that the rest of the monologue might have done onstage.
McEnery is AMAZING!
