At the beginning of the story, Mercutio was first introduced with Romeo and Benvolio. Mercutio was trying to be a really nice friend and tries to cheer up Romeo from his past relationships. There were no “end” to Mercutio’s character because he was killed in Act 3 Scene 1. But before he died, he was still very loyal to his friend. Until Act 3, Mercutio has always teased about Rosaline, but when it got to Act 3, he got mad. Mercutio was always a guy that can take jokes and laugh about things but in Act 3 Scene 1, he gets angered and starts to fight with Tybalt. That may also be the key turning point of his character because he just changes how he was always acting.

Mercutio is portrayed to have bawdy wisdom. However, deep down, he is caring and serious even though he jokes/fools around and picks unnecessary fights. He tries to protect Romeo and even as he is dying, he can still pun about himself and his fate. He brings out jokes to release tension in a situation and helps Romeo by pointing out his lovesickness of Rosaline. He tries to keep others entertained and laughing even when he is dying. The two images clash because not every character on scene will realize Mercutio’s true feelings and loyalty. They also correspond because Mercutio is funny and smart with his jokes and brings out the best in others. He paid the ultimate price for his actions, but was a good character
