Mercutio FTW!

My favorite character from Romeo & Juliet is Mercutio for many reasons, the first one being the fact that he's not afraid to say what he thinks and is quite eloquent in doing so. He's displayed as a strong person. Another reason why I like him so much is that he's one of Romeo's closest friends and I like the Montesque better than the Capulet.


"A gentleman, Nurse, that loves to hear himself talk, and will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month."

I MUST emphazise the fact that he's the ONLY character in the whole story that dies for a reasonable and understandable cause: friendship.
