They are cousins, both Montagues. Young men, caught up in the conflict with the Capulets (the rival family) and with life in the City. They are also very different. Mercutio is talkative, protective, street-smart, a little older, more aware of his surroundings. Romeo is more of an introvert and a romantic, falling in and out of love easily. He lives, in part, in his own dreamy world. His father also thinks him soft, a little weepy ("his tears augment the fresh morning's dew"). Mercutio dies protecting Romeo from Tybalt, Julie's favorite cousin; Romeo then kills Tybalt.
