Mercutio: Gotta Love Lovers
After-scene commentary from Mercutio (Romeo's Close Friend)
How foolish are thee, Romeo? Giving up laughter, enjoyment and even other women for such a thing such as love? Who know what love truly is? Ooh! I know, I know! It is merely an excuse to mourn in despair for a girl you wish you could have sexually, not actually a claim for her heart. You foolish people don't know what you say you know. In love with Rosaline? At fist sight? A miraculous claim to even be made. There is no such thing as "love at first sight." What Romeo feels is merely a strong attraction, yet being the foolish boy he tends to be, he doesn't understand the difference. When, oh when, will the youth and following younger generations ever acknowledge the truth and the difference between love and attraction?
