Not a fan of Romeo and Juliet, but I like Mercutio. A pox on your Tybalt!

Kehehe. I played Tybalt's role in fifth grade. Killing and getting killed...that was interesting.

I read for Mercutio in college. The guy had one lengthy death speech.

Who was it who awkwardly proclaimed, "I am hurt!"?

Don't remember enough of the plays to actually quote much. Decided to take a course on Shakespeare (just Shakespeare) in uni and I can't always tell everything apart. Unless we're talking Titus Andronicus. Nasty piece of work that.
Of the speech I recall, "why the devil came you between us?!" towards Romeo. Yeah, I'd be annoyed if I got run through because a buddy jumped into the middle of the fight. And the pun, "ask for me tomorrow, and you will find me a grave man!" Shakespeare wasn't above bad jokes. The common masses needed entertainment too. :) | ||||

Now that I think about it, Mercutio was pretty sick. I'm a sucker for wordplay and puns.
But then again, Tybalt's awesome as well. STONEWALL WAS A RIOT | ||||

You should check out Tamora from Titus Andronicus (one of the earliest of his plays, and there are doubts that he wrote it because of the violence). She's quite the item. If memory serves, the death count of that play was 4 by the end of scene 3 of the first act.
"Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, And set them upright at their dear friends' doors, Even when their sorrows almost were forgot; And on their skins, as on the bark of trees, Have with my knife carved in Roman letters, 'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.' Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things As willingly as one would kill a fly, And nothing grieves me heartily indeed But that I cannot do ten thousand more." -Aaron the Moor (Tamora's lover) in the latter act of the play. One of my favourite lines that I can't find to quote goes something like "If I have done one single good thing in all of my life, I do repent it from my very soul." Charming guy. | ||||

The first one. And unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it.

Home is behind,
The world ahead, and there are many paths to tread. Through shadow, to the edge of night. Until the stars are all alight. Mist and shadow, cloud and shade. All shall fade... all shall...fade. Evil Overlord List- #7

I think it was Mercutio that proclaimed "I am hurt!", but i'll have to double check. Pretty sure though because he was a black guy in the film and i seem to recall him saying it.

Oh, my, so many to pick from...
O wearisome condition of humanity! Born under one law, to another bound; Vainly begot and yet forbidden vanity; Created sick, commanded to be sound. -Fulke Greville Strangers, you bring pain. You bring suffering. You bring to so many dreams the dust of death. But, strangers, I am Icarium. And I bring far worse. -Steven Erikson Not sure if songs count, but, "O, miserable sun, consign I will not. I shall not conjureth a false identity o' my kind... And thy light dost not err nocturnal lovers' affection/ Pure love flies in the night. When thou hast sunken beneath god's shameful world, hiding in shame, while my spirit remains... my cradle will rock in e'ery place where lovers mourn, when night feeds ye troth o'longing withing e'ery fall'n star -Draconian And, my signature quote, I dream that I am a god. But a hunger... a hunger runs through me... splits me like rotted stone. How... could a god... hunger? -Scott Bakker Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||

And leave us nought but grief and pain." (the two lines of the poem that inspired Of Mice & Men.) | ||||

Was wondering where those random status comments come from Sheol. :)
"But mousey, thou art know thy lane In proving foresight may be vain The best laid schemes 'o mice and men Gang aft aglay An' leave us not but grief and pain for promis'd joy." To a Mouse, Robert Burns. :) Never read Of Mice and Men but am familiar with this poem, though I'm pretty sure I messed up some of the dialiect there. I was writing it from memory. | ||||

ah, it was schemes, one word out. Not bad for not having taken a Lit. class for over a year :D
