If Mercutio had not died in "Romeo and Juliet," the escalation of hostility between the Montagues and Capulets might not have reached a critical point. Without Mercutio's death sparking Romeo's revenge, it is possible that the tragic events leading to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet could have been avoided.
He died and laid a curse upon both houses.
Benvolio and Tybalt was there at the scene with Romeo when Mercutio was stabbed; then died.
1. Mercutio obviously would have been better off. 2. If Mercutio hadn't died, Romeo wouldn't have attacked Tybalt and killed him and got himself into deep trouble. Romeo would have been better off 3. From Tybalt's point of view, he would have been better off had he not killed Mercutio since he'd still be alive. 4. From Juliet's point of view I'm sure she would prefer not to have her cousin killed and her husband banished. 5. The Prince would be better off not losing his kinsman. 6. The Capulets would have preferred to have Tybalt alive and had no reason to wish Mercutio dead. It would have been better for them had Mercutio not died. 7. The Montagues might have thought that a world without Tybalt was a better place, but not at the cost of Romeo's freedom. All, in all, it would have been better if Mercutio had not died.
absolutely. I wish he hadnt died=[
he died because it made the Capulet's and Montague's fude stronger also if it didn't happen then romeo would have never been banished... so for the story to be a complete tragedy he had to die ..
You could ask Tybalt these questions: How did you recognize Romeo through his disguise? Were you sorry when Mercutio died?
you would of died.
There were two fights, one between Tybalt and Mercutio, in which Mercutio died, and one between Romeo and Tybalt, in which Tybalt died. For Romeo and Juliet, it was the second one which mattered, because it led to Romeo being banished from Verona so they could not be together. It also made Mrs. Capulet incredibly mad at Romeo so she would be unlikely ever to forgive him, even if she knew he was her son-in-law. Mercutio's death might have caused Romeo to be sad, but would not have the impact on his life that Tybalt's had.
Yes, because he couldve shared a lot more if he hadnt died. He was already a legendary musician at the age he died, 27. Imagine what his influence would be if he was still alive today. It would be beyond comprehension.
SPOILERS Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Paris, and Mercutio.
From: Benvolio To: Prince Escalus Date: 5th June 1651 Subject: The killings of Mercutio and Tybalt. This will explain the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. The Montague's and the Capulet's have been sworn enemies for years. Tybalt was leaving the streets to get away from Romeo because Tybalt had killed Mercutio and he knew that Romeo would not agree but then Romeo slew Tybalt. I wanted Mercutio to leave the streets because I am a close friend to Romeo, but he would not go because he wanted to kill Tybalt. When Tybalt arrived he wanted Mercutio not to walk. Mercutio was offended because he did not agree with Tybalt. Mercutio did threaten me. I fought with Mercutio because he had threatened me. Romeo said "This days black fate on more days both depend, this but begins the woe others must end" Romeo wanted to stop because he thought if they die he will. Mercutio died because Tybalt had slew him. Romeo chased after Tybalt because he had killed Mercutio I think Tybalt is most to blame because he started the killing.
We would have all died
