Romeo And Juliet Persuasive Essay

. Firstly, Tybalt is to blame for Mercutio’s death as he actually gave him the wound that killed him. Also, Tybalt provokes Mercutio by insulting Romeo, ‘Thou art a villain.’ This is one of the biggest insults that Tybalt can give and would usually be followed by a duel. However, Romeo calmly replies by saying ‘Villain I am none / Therefore farewell. I see thou know’st me not.’ Because Romeo is not defending his honour, Mercutio is provoked by Tybalt’s insults and starts insulting Tybalt himself. This is what leads to the two of them fighting and Mercutio getting his fatal wound. So, if Tybalt didn’t insult Romeo or fight Mercutio, Mercutio wouldn’t have been killed.

To begin with, Mercutio is a good friend to Romeo in that he stands up for Romeo when in need. In Act III, Scene I, there is a scene in which Tybalt, Mercutio, and Romeo are conversing. In lines 59-60, Tybalt says, “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain.” This

Firstly Tybalt's temper led himself to feel insulted when he saw Romeo (a Montague) at the feast. his Uncle, Lord Capulet did not even feel angry or offended at Montague's presence in his house who told Tybalt that Romeo is said: "to be a virtuous and well-governed youth".

Earlier in the story the Prince said if there was anymore fights in the streets of Verona the people involved in the fight would be killed. With Tybalt knowing that he said that, it did not stop him from fighting Mercutio. Tybalt also continued to show his aggressiveness by insulting Mercutio saying, “Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him/ here, Shalt with him hence.” (Shakespeare 3.1.137). When this happens, it shows his aggressive

Mercutio, while in neither of the houses, dislikes Tybalt. While it may have something to do with the fact that Romeo dislikes Tybalt as well, Mercutio—without reason to—still stands faithfully by Romeo’s side and closer to the house of Montague. From his first entrance, and his last exit, Mercutio stays a stable character by being a constant right hand man to Romeo.

Secondly Tybalt sends a decree for a fight and he kills Mercutio. This is shown by “I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I”. This reveals that Mercutio wants to have a fight with Tybalt. Tybalt wants to have a fight with Romeo the most but Mercutio gets in the way. Mercutio feels that he must stand by the Montague’s. He feels he needs to be a true Montague and fight. Romeo retaliates and kills Tybalt in anger and revenge for his friend. This is apparent in the line “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. This conveys that Romeo felt he had to get revenge for Mercutio but he really didn’t mean to kill Tybalt and couldn’t believe that he’d actually done it.

Tybalt surprisingly stabbed Mercutio under Romeo's arm and it, unfortunately, killed him. ¨Help me into some house, Benvolio, Or I shall faint. A plague o´ both your houses! They have made worms´ meat of me. I have it, And soundly too. Your houses!¨ (3.1.104-107). These were Mercutio's final words before he died. This was his way of cursing both the Capulet and Montague families because of what had happened. If there was no feud between the two families from the start there would have been piece for Verona, for the families. They all would've gotten along and there wouldn't have been so much hate coming from Tybalt to cause him to kill Mercutio.

Mercutio, similar to Tybalt is a fiery combatant, onry, and quick to fight. However, Romeo’s own actions to stop the duel between Mercutio and Tybalt would result in Mercutio motivating Romeo’s rage. Without Mercutio’s desire to battle Tybalt, Romeo never would have discovered his vengeful side. On page 868 of Prentice Hall’s Literature, Volume Two, lines 107-113, Romeo realizes his actions, “This gentleman, the Prince’s near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf-my reputation stained With Tybalt’s slander-Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my cousin. O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soft’ned valor’s steel!” This shows the boiling anger building within Romeo, ultimately brought on by himself and

Mercutio? How could he blame for such a thing like this? He was one of Romeo’s best friends and only wanted the best for him. Mercutio doesn’t seem to be a person to cause the deaths of Romeo and Juliet,

While the fight is mainly between the Montagues and Capulets, Mercutio also has his part. While Tybalt is looking for Romeo, Mercutio continues to mock him and even draws his sword on Tybalt. “Come on, sir, perform your forward

During the ball the cousin of Juliet, Tybalt, notices Romeo. He wanted to challenge him at the ball, but Lord Capulet forbade him from doing so. Tybalt, still wanting to fight Romeo, he sends out a challenge to fight Romeo. In Act 3, Scene 1, Benvolio and Mercutio are stopped by Tybalt who says: “Gentlemen p, good e’en. A word with one of you?”(III, i, 39). Mercutio responds with: “And but one word and a blow”(III, i, 40-41). Tybalt’s question was obviously about Romeo and how to find him, but Mercutio never gives him a chance. Because of the feud and Mercutio’s rash response, they duel. The duel ends with the death of Mercutio because Romeo attempted to stop the fight. Mercutio’s death caused Romeo to get angry which causes the death of Tybalt and the banishment of Romeo. Mercutio’s hot headed response causes his own death and Tybalt, which then causes Romeo to be

Even though one could not possibly think that a best friend could kill another best friend, it was Mercutio’s decisions that lead to Romeo’s death. Even Mercutio himself paid for his actions by dying before Romeo. However, Mercutio’s death also lead to Romeo’s death in ways that even Romeo didn’t know about. Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, challenged Romeo to a duel a few days before Mercutio’s death. Days later, Tybalt came to fulfill that challenge. However, Romeo, being newly integrated into the Capulet family, did not want to hurt his new relative. Mercutio was a witness to Romeo’s behavior and took it as an insult that Romeo did not take the chance to hurt a Capulet. Mercutio then declares, “O calm, dishonerable, vile submission!...Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?” (III.i.76 - 78). In this instance, Mercutio has just challenged Tybalt to a duel instead of letting Romeo just walk away. This simple line causes Mercutio to be slain in front of Romeo and Tybalt is left alive. This then forces Romeo to mourn and avenge Mercutio before he even has time to think. As a result of Mercutio’s death, Romeo then murders Tybalt, his new relative. This causes the Prince to banish Romeo and prompts other events to occur. An additional occasion as to when Mercutio’s antagonistic behavior comes into play is when they are on the way to the Capulet’s party. Romeo is still depressed about Rosaline at this point at

In Act 2 of the play, Mercutio & Romeo encounter Tybalt; conflict escalates until both Mercutio & Tybalt engage in a swordfight, which kills Mercutio. An enraged Romeo engages, killing Tybalt. Tybalt seems to blame in this situation, however, Mercutio’s death was only caused by accident when Romeo intervened in the fight that Mercutio started. His cockieness led to his & Tybalt’s deaths, as well as the banishment of Romeo, allowing the rest of the play to take place.

Mercutio was a very serene man who assisted the Montague family in numerous ways. He defended their honor and took it as his own responsibility to withhold their values and name. Mercutio died in a heroic duel in which the villain Tybalt stabs him, which leads to a fatal wound. Mercutio fought Tybalt to defend Romeo’s and Montague’s honor. He cherished his life and did not deserve to die because he loved life to the fullest. He was always true and loyal to Romeo. He always had something to say and wouldn’t leave anyone unsatisfied. We can all conclude that Mercutio is very proud of Romeo, as shortly after Mercutio dies, Romeo kills Tybalt. Mercutio was always there for anyone who was despondent or having an unfavorable day. He always knew

When Mercutio and Tybalt fight they Benvolio's grip and stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm. Tybalt and Mercutio fought purely on rage and Romeo and Benvolio knew that if the prince knew they were fighting they would be executed. So they intervened in hope to save Mercutio and Tybalt’s Lives. Mercutio was then stabbed under Tybalt's arm.”This gentleman, the prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain'd With Tybalt's slander,--Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my kinsman! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper softened valour's steel!” Mercutio was fighting in the name of Romeo with intention of his protection. But Romeo intervened revealing that this was against his will and that Mercutio was fighting out of hatred so he was killed by
