Mercutio Character Traits

Mercutio was a very interesting character before he died. His mood certainly

changes very easily. In act 3 scene 1 when Mercutio and Benvolio are in the street,

Mercutio is acting normal. But as soon as Tybalt comes and challenges Romeo to a

duel he gets very angry and he takes Romeo’s place in the duel. This shows that his

mood changes easily because if it didn’t then Mercutio would have let Tybalt duel

Romeo. Mercutio can also be very rude. He makes fun of the nurse and calls her fat.

This shows that he is rude because if he was not rude that he would have not said

anything at all and kept it to himself. Mercutio is also a very humorous person.
