Mercutio displays a fine if disrespectful tongue, especially towards Juliet’s nurse. An unlikely source of wisdom, he tells a depressed Romeo to, “Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down” meaning Romeo should be rough with love if it is rough with him, and to regain his enthusiasm for love (Act I, Scene IV, Line 28) .

Romeo: The son of Montague, Romeo is first introduced to us as a sad, melancholic, apathetic youth. His reason for sadness is universal; Rosaline his love will not return his affections. Not initially daring, it is his friends Mercutio and Benvolio who suggest he gatecrash or arrive uninvited at the Capulet party to see Rosaline.

At the end of the play, he commits suicide, rather than live without Juliet, the ultimate display of loyalty for his love Juliet since his life obviously no longer had meaning without her…

Romeo’s tragic flaw is his haste. Look on the conversations he has with the priest, and you may also observe that he’s warned approximately dashing into matters a number of instances. If he would be extra sufferer approximately lifestyles, he could get married later, he would not must slay Tibalt, and he could are living by way of the tip of the play.
