Mercutio

My favorite character from Romeo and Juliet is Mercutio, because he seems a fun, friendly and confident man. Since the whole play is very serious, romantic and VERY dramatic, I think Mercutio helps lighten the mood by acting like just a teenager, not the unbelievably mature children everyone else seems to be. I mean, he’s really down-to-earth, he’s not looking for great adventures and romance, it’s like he just want to party and meet girls; as you can see, he’s not that deep.


On the other side, Mercutio is really hotheaded and stubborn, every little thing ticks him off. Also, he’s not very tolerant or forgiving (if you don’t agree with him, prepare to fight!). He seems to be very arrogant, blunt and rude too.


All in all, Mercutio is a good character. He’s not that complex, but he’s not that shallow either; he’s passionate, practical and realistic. I think he’s the best character in the story.
