In the book Romeo and Juliet there are a lot of interesting characters. The play is about two young star crossed lovers. They are Romeo and Juliet. Their parents however have a rivalry and Romeo and Juliet end up dieing. The character that I found most interesting was Mercutio. He is aligned with the Montague and is killed by Tybalt.

I thought Tybalt was interesting because when he dies he says “A plague o’ both your houses” he is referring to the Montague and the Capulet. I thought that this was strange because he Is aligned with the Montague. I expected him to say that only to the Capulet. I also thought he was interesting because he always had a thing to say when Romeo didn't want to dance at the Capulet’s party. He convinced Romeo to dance when didn't want to. I also thought he was interesting because he decided to fight Tybalt when he didn't have to. Tybalt even told Mercutio that he had no reason to fight him but Mercutio still provoked him into fighting.

I wonder what motives Mercutio had for deciding to fight Tybalt. I especially wondered this because he was kinsmen with the Prince who did not want the Capulet and Montague to fight. Mercutio can kind of be related to some people. He decided to fight Tybalt because Romeo didn't which is kind of like people who defend other people. He was also king of a scapegoat because he died instead of Romeo who could have died if he had decided to fight.
