[edit] Joking swordfight?
I can't see any evidence in the actual text that the sword-fight is "bejoking", nor that his friends think he's pretending to be wounded. Am I missing something, or is this just a popular interpretation? If it's just interpretation, that should be made clear in the article. -Justdig 12:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- No, I don't think so either. Anyone editing should feel free to change the article to reflect this. --SheeEttin 21:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC) i agree too
[edit] Performers
I'm removing the performers section, as it appears to be fake.--Czar Yah 03:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
"Reviews of Perrineau's performance were mixed. While some people found his portrayal to be powerful and moving, others believed his performance was too over-the-top and hyperactive." I'm not sure what the relevance of these sentences is. While it may be relevant on Perrineau's page, it seems to lack significance on a page about the character Mercutio. Namely, I'm sure there are thousands of performers whose performance of Mercutio could receive mixed reviews. I'll go ahead and remove the quoted text. --Jbramley 15:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mercury Analogy
This section is generally good, except the portion where it says their closest moment is when Mercution dies, and the subsequent speculation about the planet going too close to the sun. Is this really warranted? In the first place, the two could be closer at any moment during the play--depending on the staging of any one production. I find this comment very unhelpful.
