850 words (approx. 3.4 pages) | 8 sources | MLA | 2001 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Romeo's friend, Mercutio in William Shakespeare's famous love story, "Romeo and Juliet". The paper compares and contrasts Romeo and Mercutio and concludes that Mercutio is the better of the two. Mercutio is more mature in his views of love, his wit is outstanding and he carries impulsiveness to a fault.

From the Paper:

"Even in a simplified modern-day version of Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio's character stays with similar wit. "Unable to make anything coherent" with Mercutio's dialogue, the author of the film had the actor "put a handkerchief over his face and say, 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah'" (Pendleton 62). Mercutio's witty punning is directly a part of his character, and leads to his death with the baiting of Tybalt (Vickers 73). He described his wound simply as "not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve." Also punning, he states, "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (Shakespeare 61)."
