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

Two stories of two love birds who were so deeply in love but‚ couldn’t be together due to the cruel fate. One story was based on a book and the other one was based on a poem. In face it is commonly known that Willian Shakespeare stole the story from a poem that was written by Arthur Brooke and West Side Story was kind of based of off Romeo & Juliet. Both stores are really romantic. Overall both of them are beautiful musical play/ movie. The love birds met at the dance where they deeply fell in love

CHANGES: 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.
