    romeo and mercutio

    • 446 Words

    Mercutio has a partially negative way of thinking, but he is more rational than Romeo's impatient, love-seeking mind. The comparison of the two characters shows Mercutio’s common sense as opposed to impractical Romeo. They are similar and different at the same time, but seeing them interact with eachother helps us better understand Romeo as a character when we see him compared to Mercutio. Romeo's role in the play is a young blind lover who in the beginning, doesn't believe that there could be another lady prettier than his Rosaline. Hs rejection of Benvolio's advice to find another love to replace Rosaline, shows Romeo's immaturity as a lover. Similarly, Romeo claims to have fallen in love with Juliet (another girl) at the Capulet party.…
