Mercutio is Romeo’s best friend. He is kind of the opposite of Romeo : he is definitely not shy and loves partying. Paris, Juliette’s suitor, is very pretentious and Mercutio hates pretentious people. He thinks love is only about the sex and tries to convince Romeo about it. Mercutio is a funny character, he helps Romeo to have fun and focus on something other than the girl he loves. I like this character because he is like us, he is a little childish, loves taking risks and experiments dangerous things (drugs). Mercutio is trying to protect his friend as best as he can, he also dies to save Romeo's honor and life.

Mercutio brings frivolity and humor in the story. He often makes fun of Romeo because he finds him too romantic and sensitive and because he idealizes love but he is a loyal friend that's why he's my favorite character.

I agree and I also think that Mercutio is my favorite character because he's funny, touching, honest and carefree. He's the one who brings comic relief and introduces lightness in the play with all the serious scenes and the drama. He is also the prankster of the play and keeps teasing Romeo.

I agree too, he's really amazing and funny, he likes having fun or teasing romeo each time about, he's just like me so why can I not like him. His death really touched me.

RépondreSupprimerMercutio is indeed Romeo's closest friend. He's dirty and funny and out of control. Compared to him, Romeo and Juliet are whiny and repetitive.
RépondreSupprimerMercutio is also famous for his opposition to the idea of love. He tries to convince Romeo that love is a simple matter of sexual appetite.
"If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down."
So when you say "he is a little childish" I don't agree. When we are children we talk about love but in any case about sex...
But he is still my favorite character too!

I agree. Mercution is the character who brings humour to the story. He's energetic and laughing. He loves life, he doesn't miss an oppurtinuty to have fun and to live he's life like he wants too. He is also a very optimist character.
