American writer Mary E. Pearson has said‚ “Words have longer lives than people” (Goodreads 6). This quote is implying that words never fade away. Rather written‚ spoken‚ or musically played‚ people cannot undo the impact of their language. Words not only hold power in real life‚ but also in fiction novels.

Despite being best friends‚ Romeo and Mercutio’s views on love are very contrasting. In act 1 scene 4‚ Romeo is portrayed as someone who views love as a negative thing‚ whereas Mercutio has a more positive view on love. We see this in act 1 scene 4‚ when Romeo says ’sore enpierced with (cupid’s) shaft.’ ’Sore’ indicates that Romeo is in continuous pain as a result of how love has bruised him.
