He describes in intimate detail everything about a personal world he has imagined. Also, displayed in his Queen Mab speech in Act I Scene IV, he is very imaginative. Romeo once describes him as, "A gentlemen who loves to hear himself talk" (2.4.145-147). He is constantly playing on words, using two or more meanings.

Mercutio's character stands out from the rest because of the energy in everything says and does. Therefore, he has not been born into a feud yet he still allies himself with the Capulets. His most important role, however, is that Mercutio is Romeo's friend. Mercutio is one of the most unique characters in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Some characters have very little to do with the plot but some have the plot revolving around them. However, one of the biggest underlying questions that rest on the mind of the reader is: "Who is Mercutio, and what is his role in the play?" The play has many characters, each with their own role in keeping the plot line. It is about two people in love who commit suicide when their feuding families prevent them from being together.

When we study the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the play's obvious messages of fate and love become apparent.
