TERRIBLE TAKE. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TAKE. if we werenāt mutuals i would block u for this ask. iāve gotten everything from death threats to lazytown nsfw in my inbox but this may just be the worst thing i have ever received. :^/
cranky cuz Iām right huh? mad and steamed due to the fact that I am correct? pitiful. how sad
no!! iām cranky because the reason red is used for the capulets and blues for montagues is likely because they represent and therefore emphasise the charactersā traits. the capulets (namely juliet and tybalt) are very passionate, bold, and impulsive, and the montagues (namely romeo and benvolio) come off as sincere, loyal, and trustworthy.
colours always have meaning if theyāre prevalent or specifically pointed out in artistic pieces, and red and blue, despite not being complementary colours, are most commonly used for a huge variety of reasons that iām not gonna delve into since weāre already talking about them exclusively.
but back to the point of r&j, it would be really unsettling for anyone to see a dude wearing any shade of blue jeering at a guy in red to fight him in any artistic piece. and if the unsettling breach of red & blue colour representation doesnāt mean anything, then thereās no reason to include it.
tl;dr the capulets are red and the montagues r blue and if u disagree then ur a fool and a coward
