Mercutio In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

I believe Mercutio was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he is the one who started everything. Romeo and Juliet is a story about two “star-crossed’ lovers from families that are feuding amongst each other. The family feud began to get so serious that the two married off in secret, and ended up killing themselves for each other’s love. This whole story never would have happen if it was not for Mercutio. He played an important role in the story in a lot of ways. Romeo and Juliet never would have killed themselves if they would have never met. First, Mercutio convinced Romeo to go to the party. Mercutio is Romeo’s friend in the play, and was always trying to persuade him to do something. Mercutio had stated in the story that Rosaline was going to be at the party, but
He would be in a scene, and would just speak nonsense or nothing that pertained to the topic. Additionally, Mercutio would often tease Romeo, and made puns and tell silly jokes. Mercutio even says his last words with comic fashion. Mercutio had made a pun about his wound. Mercutio couldn’t have done anything, he was far too silly and distracting to be essential to the story. When Mercutio was first introduced in the story, he was mocking Romeo for being a hopeless romantic. Romeo was explaining his love, he appeared to be very genuine and poetic. On the other hand, Mercutio’s response was not sentimental at all. With Mercutio, nothing can be taken seriously.
Mercutio was indeed the person responsible for all of the deaths in the story. In fact, there would still be a feud if it wasn’t for the help of Mercutio. So more people would have probably died if the feud was still going on. If Mercutio didn’t force Romeo to go the party, then Romeo wouldn’t have met Juliet. If they wouldn’t have met they wouldn’t have fell in love, which initially made them die. If they weren’t dead, then the feud would still be
