    The extreme violence seen in Act 3 scene 1, serves to remind the audience that despite the romantic aspect of Romeo and Juliet the play is mainly concerned with the conflicts developing from concepts of pride and honor, which were important aspects of society during Shakespearean times.

The quote shows that despite the Prince’s status in society, he too holds the fault of violence and conflict. Similarly, the quote by Mercutio; “thou art as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in Italy”, reinforces the idea that violence and conflict are indeed universal in nature and as a result are aspects of every culture. The fights between Mercutio and Tybalt then between Romeo and Tybalt are rampageous. In contrast, for the scene, the Prince this in a slow, coarse voice, the camera is following him.

In the movie, Mercutio says this while he has Tybalt in a vice-like grip and when they are…
