Mercutio has a partially negative way of thinking‚ but he is more rational than Romeo’s impatient‚ love-seeking mind.

They are similar and different at the same time‚ but seeing them interact with eachother helps us better understand Romeo as a character when we see him compared to Mercutio.

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.

man we all know - er‚ knew.. - and loved‚ Sir Mercutio! The character that I chose from Romeo and Juliet is‚ of course‚ Mercutio.
