Today, the final contestants for the Round of 16 take the field. First up, a battle between two capable generals: Macbeth vs Philip the Bastard; and finally, the hot-headed hellcat Doll Tearsheet versus that King of Cats Tybalt Capulet. Who is most deserving of a spot in the Elite 8? Let us know how you're voting:
Round of 16, Match 7: Macbeth vs Philip the Bastard
Round of 16, Match 8: Doll Tearsheet vs Tybalt
Don't forget to vote in Parts 1 (Henry V v Titus and Iago v Prospero), 2 (The Bear v Antony and Richard III v Lady M), and 3 (Hotspur v Beatrice and Katharina v Jack Falstaff) of this round as well -- you could make the difference in a close match, or perhaps even turn the tide of a crushing defeat. You have the weekend to rally your friends to support your favorites. Sally forth!
The first one's tough. Both are adept at combat, both have experience in the field -- but since we know quite definitely that Philip is "of woman born" -- we actually *meet* his mom, after all -- I'm giving the edge to Macbeth.
ReplyDeleteIn the second match, I think Tybalt's finesse will get the better of Doll. She's great for a rough-and-tumble tavern brawl, but her knifework is no match for Tybalt's deadly training.
