3. Mercutio versus Tybalt (1968)
This 10 minute clip is the portrayal of the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt from the 1968 movie version of the play. This one is clearly set in a location more similar to the play’s 14th century Italy.
Shakespeare doesn’t include many stage directions and this leaves directors with some liberty in how they want to portray certain things. Let’s take a look at the way the fight is filmed in this movie. What is Tybalt’s reaction like upon realizing what he did? How does this compare to how we originally pictured in while we read?
