Mercurtio was one of Romeo's friends. He was very poetic and had plenty of 'poetic' speech throughout the play before he got...killed in the fight where Romeo killed Tybalt after Mercurtio was killed by Tybalt. (Tybalt was Juliet's cousin).
Tybalt is the main antagonist in the famous play, "Romeo and Juliet." In the play, Tybalt kills Romeo's close friend Mercurtio. Tybalt is later killed by Romeo in retaliation.
Mercutio is like the element Mercury in that both possess qualities of unpredictability and volatility. Like Mercury, Mercutio is dynamic, quick-witted, and at times can be unstable or changeable in his moods and actions in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet".
Oh, dude, the crisis or turning point in "Romeo and Juliet" is when Romeo kills Tybalt in a fit of rage after Tybalt kills Mercutio. This leads to Romeo's banishment from Verona and sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to the tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. It's like a classic case of terrible decision-making meets teenage angst, you know?
