Throughout the play, Romeo has acted in manny different ways. He has gone from carrying, loving, hateful, silly, sad, to depressed. His emotions shift frequently throughout the play. Additionally, emotions change greatly withing scenes. In the fight scene between Romeo, Mercutio, and Tybalt, Romeo's emotions change vastly.
There are several ways that I will portray Romeo's character. My first step will be to memorise his lines. Once I have memorised my lines, I can move onto more advanced things like emotions. In order to express my emotions, I will make them genuine. I will do this by thinking of sad or happy events from the past. This attribute will be hard to achieve because Romeo changes his emotions frequently throughout the scene. Although this will be challenging it could greatly enhance my acting.
I will portray Romeo differently throughout the scene. In the beginning, I will act with confidence and happiness. I will do this by thinking of a time I was happy and driving a boat. I will act like a gentleman and good-willed human. I will act jolly towards Tybalt, who is on the same side as my love. Everything is perfect for Romeo, so he has no reason to start a quarrel with anyone. He is married to his love so everything is perfect for him. He even should feel warm hearted towards Tybalt because he is Juliet's Cousin. Therefore, in a way he is related to Romeo. Then Romeo's emotions will change when Tybalt and Mercutio try to fight. I will act disappointed in my friend for wanting to fight. Then when Tybalt tries to fight Mercutio I will act concerned and worried. I will act concerned. I will do this by thinking of my a time I was concerned for my little sister. Romeo did not want Tybalt to fight Mercutio because Tybalt is the cousin of his wife. Additionally, Romeo had no problems with the Capulets. He now saw the capulets as his family. Additionally, Romeo will remember the Prince's warning and be concerned about his friend. He does not want Mercutio to get in trouble with the law for fighting Tybalt. Then when Tybalt kills Mercutio I will become overwhelmed with sadness and guilt. I will do this by thinking of a death in my family. I will feal guilty, because if I hadn't intervened my friend might still be alive. I will also feel sad because on of my best friends just died. I will be slightly angry towards Tybalt, but I will be mostly upset. I will also feel overwhelmed in this moment. I will be feeling a surplus of emotions, which will make it difficult to act. Then after a while, I will get over the sadness. At this point, my sadness will have turned into anger. I will think of a time I was angry at my parents to act this out. I will be angry at Tybalt because he just killed my best friend. I will be seeking vengeance against him. I will also act in confidence with bravery. I will have a slight feeling of remorse for my friend's death because I was partly to blame. Then after I kill Tybalt I will be stricken with worry. In order to act this out, I will think of my unknown SAT scores. I will be worried because I will not know the upcoming future, or what the punishment will be. I will also be worried what Juliet will think when she finds out. I will end the scene feeling worried about how things will turn out.
