Mercutio and Tybalt have many differences that fuel their hatred for each other, even with these differences they are still extremely similar. Their differences and similarities contribute to the tragic ending. Their haste actions, the constant fighting, and their impacts on the play. Each of these components contribute to the tragedy. Mercutio and Tybalt’s death is their biggest contribution to the play; it causing a domino affect of events such as the banishment of Romeo.…

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…
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.…

What makes up a Person? Everyone has that one friend who wants to start a fight whenever possible. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio is that one friend. Shakespeare’s use of a character like Mercutio, who has many various sides of traits, makes the story dynamic.…
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.…
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.…
Friar Lawrence, Mercutio & the Nurse are to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo & Juliet. Their actions have all contributed to the tragedy. Mercutio was the one who persuaded Romeo to go to the Capulets ball. The Nurse was the one who acted as the messenger and Friar Lawrence was the one who married them in the first place.…
Like many writers, Shakespeare’s purpose of writing was driven by the context and audiences of his times. Based on the political situation of Queen Elizabeth I, who had progressively enlarged her power at the expense of the…
Reading shakespeare in the modern area has proven to be quite a challenge. There have been many websites created for students and other people to understand the text. The old english has lost its touch but the meaning is still the same. Taking a closer look at how shakespeare gets his meaning across one can find many surprising views, such as gender can change the way people view others. This point was widely seen throughout two of Shakespeare's plays. In the plays Henry V and St Joan written by shakespeare both portray gender and class critical lenses and pathos rhetorical strategies.…

In Shakespeare we learn many things not only about the English purpose but as well as the real world. Shakespeare has taught us about the language people used in the older times versus how people have developed that language to be less filtered. Shakespeare has taught us not only how a crazy story can be but that a play can develop more than one theme in a play. Shakespeare created a new language non direct and direct, he has taught us new words. Although not everyone understands the true meaning and purpose Shakespeare and the work he left on this Earth, it could relate to everyone in a different way. Shakespeare has also taught us that you can tell any type of story you want, creating a bigger image than what there seems to be. In the story…
While reading Shakespeare you can definitely pick up on his different styles and tone. He uses parts of speech like prose, poetry, metaphors, similes, and other types of speech to convey the story. Prose is a low class way of speaking in this time period. When characters use prose you know they are not of Royal descent or are just speaking calmly to share something about the character like Hamlet sometimes does. How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? (2.2.327-332) In this direct quote from the book he is speaking in prose because…
