Romeo & Juliet


By William Shakespeare
Romeo and Mercutio are two very close friends. They are both about fourteen, but Romeo is a Montague, and Mercutio is of the Prince's family. Still, even though they come from two different families, they both hate the Capulets fiercely. Mercutio is a fierce street-fighter, and loves to joke about people; but he is also a dreamer, and he always tells his friends about his dreams. Romeo, instead, doesn't like to fight as much as Mercutio, and he loves to be in love and suffer for love. In fact, before Juliet, he loved Rosaline, a nun. Romeo and Mercutio are good friends, but Mercutio feels betrayed when Romeo tells Tybalt to make peace, because Mercutio doesn't know that Romeo and Tybalt are related, since Romeo married Juliet. Also, Mercutio gets killed by Tybalt under Romeo's arm, because Romeo was trying to separate them. So, their friendship is broken when Mercutio, right before dying, curses the Montagues (Romeo's family) and the Capulets (Juliet's family) saying: "A plague o'both your houses."
