His exact age is unknown but given his role in the play and described features he should be about 20-30 years old. the problem being the given the time period of which the tragety takes place he is most likely 30-40.
the phrase "purple fountain" mentioned in act 1,scene i of Romeo and Juliet is referring to the blood of the Capulets and Montagues. Back then, only the wealthy and the elite wear clothing with the color purple on it because of the expensive cost of the purple dye. "Purple fountain" is referring to the blood of the two families and their extreme wealth and social status.
What upset Romeo the most about being banished from Verona was the fact that he can't see Juliet anymore or he will be killed on the spot. He is also worried that if he is found with Juliet while in Verona that she will die with him.
The feud between the Capulets and the Montaguez grow to such a height that it extended to the farr off relation as well as even in the servants. Fierce words and even bloodshed ensured if there were accidental meeting of the members.The guest of one family were not invited of the other.
pretty good i mean he did just make out with his girl
Romeo initially wanted the fight not to happen, as he had already been wedded to Juliet and did not want to get on Tybalt's bad side, let alone fight him, which would only amplify any hatred between them. However, when Mercutio and Tybalt, both hot-headed and easy to aggravate, started to fight, and Mercutio died under Tybalt's blade, Romeo felt taking his best friend's side as his first priority. He fought with Tybalt out of rage of him killing Mercutio and ended up killing him.
simple answer: Mercutio's death by Tybalt spurred Romeo to kill him
In Act 3 Scene 4, Lord Capulet discusses Juliet's marriage with Paris, along with Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet relays his concerns of Juliet staying cooped up in her room, grieving the loss of her cousin, Tybalt, who has been slain in battle against Romeo. Lord Capulet decides to confirm their marriage to each other (Juliet and Paris) to help her take her mind off the death of Tybalt. He suggests Wednesday, but changes his mind to Thursday as he feels Wednesday would be too soon (it is currently Monday). Lord Capulet decides for the marriage to be a simple one among a small group of audience. (note how Lord Capulet arranges everything for Juliet and does not take into consideration her opinion on the matter. He also confident Juliet will agree to the marriage, showing how he knows very little about the daughter whom he supposedly treasures, as he is unaware of her marriage with Romeo, and the fact they even consummated while holding this conversation) Paris wishes the following day were Thursday to express his excitement for his marriage before bidding the Lord and Lady farewell.
Tybalt: "What are you doing facing mere servants (Abraham and the other Capulet servant)? (Tybalt insults Benvolio for 'fighting' the Capulet servants and not a kinsman like him. He also makes a pun, "heartless hinds", referring the Montague servants, Sampson and Gregory, as peasants [hinds] who lack courage [heartless], nor a proper master/leader [hartless - sounds like heartless]) Turn around Benvolio, face your death."
Benvolio: "I am trying to make peace. Put up your sword (quit before it escalates into something worse and more dangerous), or use it to stop the servants from fighting."
Tybalt: "What? You drew your sword and talk about peace? I hate the word peace, like how I hate hell, all Montagues and you. Take this, you coward!"
You don't. This quest has been removed from the game.
He utters these short sentences just before he dies from the poison:
"O true apothecary!/Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."
It's interesting to note that both he and Juliet end their lives with the verb 'die' - it is their deaths that connect them together.
A very good question. Here are some possibilities:
1. Juliet is very inexperienced. She only leaves her house to go to church. She does not know enough to get her from Verona to Mantua. She wouldn't know what to do. Of course, if she was sent in the care of a friar or nun this wouldn't be a problem.
2. After Tybalt's death, Mrs. Capulet has a real hate on for Romeo. She says, "I'll send to one in Mantua, where that same banished runagate doth live, shall give him such an unaccustomed dram that he shall soon keep Tybalt company." If Mrs. C had any idea that Romeo was her son-in-law, she'd want to kill him that much faster, one would think.
It's still not totally convincing. One would think that there might have been other ways to get Juliet to Mantua safely. What if she pretended to retire to a convent, then went to Mantua when nobody was looking?
The play has been played at one time or another in just about every city in the world. It is, however, set in "fair Verona", a city in Northern Italy.

At the very beginning of Act 5 Scene 3 Paris gives specific instructions to the page as follows:
Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof:
Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.
Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along,
Holding thine ear close to the hollow ground;
So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread,
Being loose, unfirm, with digging up of graves,
But thou shalt hear it: whistle then to me,
As signal that thou hear'st something approach.
Give me those flowers. Do as I bid thee, go.
That is a lot of instructions. They are: 1. Give me the torch 2. Go away 3. Don't stand too close 4. Put out the torch. 5. Lie down under the yew tree. 6. Put your ear to the ground and listen for footsteps. 7. Whistle if you hear someone coming. 8. Give me the flowers.
they die in the church when romeo finds out she really was alive but it was too late. so she shot herself with the gun he had brought. the end.
Mercutio gives Romeo a speech about Queen Mab, who is the whore of the fairies. Mercutio says that Queen Mab inspires lust in people. He is trying to tell Romeo that his love for Rosaline, and that love in general is all lust. Mercutio's point is: Love doesn't exist, it's just lust.
