Line 6: * [[Emo Teen]]: Locks himself up in his room with the curtains drawn, writes depressing poetry and generally mopes until he meets Juliet. * [[Fatal Flaw]]: His impulsive behavior has him marry Juliet the day after meeting her and {{spoiler\|kill Tybalt}} for {{spoiler\|killing Mercutio}}. About an hour later. * [[Hot -Blooded]]: People tend to focus on this trait in Mercutio and Tybalt, but Romeo has a lot of it, too. * [[Love Interest]]: [[Captain Obvious\|Obviously.]] * [[Tragic Hero]] Line 37: * [[Bromantic Foil]] * [[Deadpan Snarker]]. To the point that audiences (despite typically knowing {{spoiler\|his fate from high school literature}}) will sometimes take a while to get that {{spoiler\|he's not kidding after being stabbed by Tybalt}}. * [[Hot -Blooded]] * [[Ho Yay]]: With Benvolio, Tybalt, and, most prominently, Romeo. * [[The Lancer]] Line 51: * [[Badass]]: Mercutio describes Tybalt this way to Benvolio. * [[Grumpy Bear]] * [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]: One gets the feeling that Tybalt could be... '' difficult'' to interact with. * [[Hot -Blooded]] * [[Informed Ability]]: Is supposedly a perfect gentleman, beloved by his uncle and cousin, and the best friend that Juliet's nurse ever had. We get none of this from his three scenes. * [[Jerkass]]: No matter how he's played, Tybalt will have traces of this. * [[Knight of Cerebus]] * [[Pride]] * [[Small Role, Big Impact]]: As noted above, he has 3 scenes, but his actions turn the story from a [[Romantic Comedy]] into a tragedy where [[Kill 'Em All\|most of the named characters die]]. * [[Troubled but Cute]]: Certainly in Baz Luhrmann's adaption according to [[All Girls Want Bad Boys\|the opinion of many.]] Zeferelli's more playful, less vicious, Tybalt was also quite attractive. ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmSu-SvgJJk Szilveszter Szabo in the aforementioned Hungarian musical] is also pretty damn gorgeous. Line 70: * [[The Chessmaster]]: He uses Romeo and Juliets relationship to end the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets. * [[Only Sane Man]] * [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: To Romeo, twice. First, he calls him out for falling for a girl he met a day ago while completely forgetting about Rose. Secondly, he calls out Romeo for his excessive [[Wangst]] and tells him to suck it up and go do something about it. == Paris == Line 83: == Lady Montague == * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: In the Presgurvic musical, she's a widow (running the Montague family on her own and frustrated by her inability to stop her family from battling the Capulets), and she {{spoiler\|survives the end of the play}}. * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Despair]]}} == Lord Capulet == Line 100: == Friar John == * [[Demoted to Extra]]: Arguably Double Subverted. For the character whose failure to do a simple job drives the ultimate tragedy of the story, he has a grand total of four lines in the original work. But dang are those four lines important. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Because he stopped to get some company for the trip delivering Friar Lawrence's letter, he was locked up for fear of contracting the plague, and wasn't able to deliver the letter explaining that Juliet was alive to Romeo. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Romeoand~~Romeo and Juliet]] [[Category:Characters]]
