Mercutio Monologue
I write this with a heavy heart.
My head just continues spinning everything has happened so fast.
The term ‘in the blink of an eye’ sadly applies in this situation.
As much as I'd like to receive my fair share of revenge, I am uncertain who would be responsible.
I am the only person culpable for the fatal end of Mercutio.
Sad to say, I stood idly watching one of my best friends die, I simply served as a bystander in the grievous events.
For the past days I've been riddled with guilt and an excessive amount of what if’s, they run through my head when I am restless and rule my brain throughout the day.
For example ‘what if we never walked down that particular road that day,’ or something like that.
I marvel in the idea of traveling back and preventing Mercutio from even getting out of bed that morning.
…show more content…
This is exactly the reason why I try to avoid violence, it resolves nothing.
After I had went to have a walk around Verona, my own company is becoming mundane.
I heard about Paris's marriage with Juliet, seems notably unfitting in my opinion, following the day after one of your family members dies leaving no time for

    Mercutio is rational. He says that love will change people, making them sad and dispirit. As what's going with Romeo, his love for Rosaline makes him sweep, groan, and heart-breaking. This might cause Mercutio to believes that love has a negative influence on a man, making them weaker and unable to think logically because they spend all their time crying and groaning about love, like…

    In the play Friar Laurence had married Romeo and Juliet to each other. The Friars reasoning for this was he believed that this would end the Capulet's and Montague's lifelong feud. The Friar even states that this whole wedding was happening too fast and that they only knew each other for such a short time yet he still married them. The Friar knew that the wedding would end up in a tragedy one way or another.…

    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.…

    Everyone, the Man of the Party, the man we all know - er, knew.. - and loved, Sir Mercutio! The character that I chose from Romeo and Juliet is, of course, Mercutio. Mercutio is the friend of Romeo and Benvolio and the relative of Prince Escalus. He is extremely relevant to the plot, for Mercutio provoked Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, causing the two to fight. "Come, sir, your passado." (III.i.80). Romeo attempted to intervene which gave Tybalt leverage to reach around him and stab Mercutio. The death of his friend angered Romeo, who then fought and killed Tybalt, thus granting him exile to Mantua and leaving the rest of the plot to fall into place.…

    A perfect example of this is Juliet's arranged marriage to Count Paris. Juliet was only thirteen years old, yet her parents were making major adult decisions for her to satisfy their own need. Although Juliet was still mourning the loss of her loved cousin, Tybalt, Capulet and Lady Capulet disregarded her feelings and moved on by planning her marriage to Paris the same day Tybalt is killed by Romeo. "…much of grief shows still some want of wit." (III, v, 76) This is Juliet's own mother telling her that her mourning is stupid. A mother who truly cares for her daughter's well-being would help her get through the tragic death of Tybalt and try to lighten her grief. In response to Juliet's refusal to marry Paris, Lady Capulet once again manifests a care for herself over her weeping daughter. "I would the fool were married to her grave." (III, v, 145) This is, not only foreshadowing to Juliet's eventual suicide, but also a concern for her family name over her daughter's wishes. Capulet, Juliet's father, shows that his attitude is no better than his wife's. He becomes enraged and calls her such words as "green-sickness carrion", "baggage", "disobedient wretch", and "hilding." (III, v, 161-175) Such insults and harsh words show that Capulet is much more concerned with how he will be viewed by Paris and Paris's kinsman, Prince Escalus of Verona.…

    One challenge they faced was unacceptance. Juliet was going to be forced to marry Count Paris, and her confidant, Nurse, who was aware of her union with Romeo stated her approval of Juliet’s second marriage when she said, “I think you are happy in this second match, For it excels your first.” (3.5.225-228). Juliet was…
