Why does Shakespeare include this comic speech by Mercutio?

English
1 answer:
kari74 [83]2 years ago
6 0

#Answer:-

Shakespeare in the play Romeo and Juliet, includes this comic speech by Mercutio in order to illustrate the close friendship between the men.

Mercutio accuses his fellow Montague Benvolio of not picking up fights and being hypocrite suggesting pair to go inside to avoid the fight. Mercutio is neither totally Montagues nor Capulet. Due to his close friendship with Benvolio and Romeo, he is considered to be Montagues and he is the cousin of the prince. To not let Benvolio deter him, in this scene he picks up the fight with the Capulets. Through his tone of quarrel, it is clear that his attitude is none-too-serious, taking it as a joke. His fight in the above passage is clearly ridiculous and non-sensical. Through this, mirrors the fight between Capulets and Montagues is equally baseless and unnecessary. Here, they fight because they have fought and they are 'quarrelsome' like Benvolio.

What does 'horse of another color' mean?
Maksim231197 [3]
'Horse of another color' is the opposite expression from Shakespeare's 'a horse of that color' in the Twelfth Night Act 2 Scene 3 where Maria told Sir Toby Belch that her purpose was indeed a horse of that color which meant that Sir Toby Belch got the same idea as hers. So, 'horse of another color' is an idea different from the other.

"Phil felt strangely fearless. He watched the ocean rotating up at him and thought: There's nothing more I can do." Analyze thes
Ostrovityanka [42]

The feeling invoked by the author is to show the freedom of  accepting of fate by the narrator.

Explanation:

The feelings described here are numerous in small amount of time. The feeling of the narrator is at first described to be strangely fearless.

This makes one think that there is something to fear which is why it has become fearless.

But then the author describes the feeling by the use of imagery and we understand that Phil is in fact drowning and these emotions are his understanding that he will now not survive at all.

There is no chance to survive so he accepts his fate and feels strangely free.
