Themes of R&J as depicted in Discworld

I recently read Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals.  One of the most striking things about the book was Pratchett's retelling of various scenes from Romeo and Juliet.  And I'm not talking the balcony scene.  The most moving of the scenes was his retelling of Mercutio's death— complete with thugs, wizards,  a werewolf, and an orc. What struck me most was that by pulling out the plot and basic structure while disguising the overly familiar characters you can see the themes and tensions of the play more clearly.  I should note, this seems to work better for literature, rather than performance, where if you get to far from the original you usually impose your own themes on what is there, rather than shed light on the issues at play.  Some of the themes that came thru in Unseen Academicals' treatment of the story (which are certainly present in the original, but frequently take a back seat) are: the power of labels, the senselessness of violence/revenge, the impressionableness of children and the need for parents to set a good example (aka 'bad parenting'), and the dangers of mob rule.  Honor, familial and personal, gets a special focus, because instead of families at war, Pratchett depicts sports teams supporters.

Here's where I put specific illustrations, but I gave the book back to my dad already. So, you'll have to read it for yourself.  And, if you're a stickler for reading books in order, you'll have to read the other 30ish Discworld books that precede it.
