He seems to be constantly infuriated‚ and the reaction and outcome we get every time he appears is inevitable; a fight is guaranteed. Mercutio‚ Romeo’s close friend‚ has the opposite effect. Like his name‚ Mercutio is very ‘mercurial’. He is witty and sharp‚ but he also has a very volatile and unstable personality. One minute he could be laughing and joking‚ the other‚ he could be in distress and annoyed. Yet‚ he is a

This would lead to violence if they found out. Tybalt knew Romeo like Juliet but didn’t know they were now family and starts a fight as usual. One of the lines that represents the dramatic irony is when Mercutio receives a wound which he calls a scratch‚ but he knows it is fatal. Up until then Mercutio was the life and soul of the party.

ROMEO: In bed asleep while they do dream things true.” (Act 1‚ Scene 4‚ 49-52) This is my favorite pun from Romeo & Juliet. This pun is said by both Romeo and Mercutio‚ while they are on the way to Capulet’s house for the party. The back-story to this pun is where Mercutio says that dreamers lie (they are dishonest).
