Please give feedback
Mercutio is a comedic and loyal friend of Romeo’s, who ensures the hope and light heartedness of the play. Once killing him off, the audience is awakened to reality that all hope is lost and tragedy is all that remains in the rest of the play. He says “A plague a’both your houses” to curse both families but it also foreshadows/reminds the audience of the tragic ending. But what may have ensured the tragedy at the end of the play could’ve been due to Romeo’s sensitive emotions. Romeo is a impulsive character who tends to act upon emotions instead of thinking through, this can be seen when Juliet says “I gave thee mine before thou requested it”. Proving she was the one to bring up the idea of marriage before Romeo even thought about it. Romeo retaliated by killing Tybalt out of rage thereby sentencing him to banishment from Verona thereby causing problems to see Juliet. This can be inferred when Romeo says “There is no world without Verona’s walls”. The passion between both lovers and the extent each other would go, just to see each other, leads to making the plot complex and leaving room for mistakes to occur. This can be seen when Juliet says “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, I drink to thee” and when Romeo says “To Juliets grave, for there must I use thee”. For both characters are so far apart that the communication between both characters end up sabotaging the Friar’s plan. But if it Mercutio was not killed, then maybe Romeo wouldn’t have killed Tybalt and be banished.
