When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight.

    Shakespeare is forced to kill off Mercutio "lest he steal the show from the major figures of the plot". His brash attitude draws attention away from the problems of Romeo and Juliet. When Tybalt seeks Romeo in a public street, Mercutio challenges him to "couple [his words] with something" and "make it a word and a blow". His recklessness and quick response for something so dangerous is a demonstration of his preferences. However, as a kind of side effect, his preferences tend to pull the spotlight away from the main characters. Mercutio duels Tybalt when the swordplay is meant for Romeo.…

    We all know that Romeo’s banishment was a result of murdering Tybalt. Although Tybalt was a villain, and was practically evil, Romeo did not need to kill him and he brought it on himself. However Tybalt was going to try to kill Romeo any way, and Mercutio tried to stop him. Mercutio’s death was also Romeo’s fault, “ROMEO tries to break up the fight TYBALT stabs MERCUTIO under ROMEO’s arm.”(Sparknotes, Shakespeare act 3 scene 1 page 5). If Romeo let Mercutio beat Tybalt, then the Prince most likely would have not punished Mercutio and Romeo would never have gotten banished.…

    They were both honourable men, as you can say that both of them were willing to die for their friends and family and they both did. Mercutio saved his friend Romeo from getting killed by Tybalt and Tybalt died because he killed Mercutio while trying to defend his family’s honor. Tybalt and Mercutio are like a ying-yang, completely opposites, yet each have a part of the other somewhere inside. On the outside, Tybalt and Mercutio are opposite in how they balance out the play. Tybalt is hot tempered and Mercutio is the obvious comic relief and very carefree. Yet, they each have that same kind of feeling inside that keeps them each from understanding the true love between Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt rejects the whole idea of them being together. He sees Romeo as a threat to his family’s reputation. Mercutio often makes fun of Romeo, regardless of who he is in love with, saying that…
