Fiery,bull-headed & very prejudiced.
As you probably know,Juliet's cousin & his uncompromising nature led to HIS death,and indirectly to the deaths of the lovers,taking Mercutio along the way.
Guess he would be a knife-carrier today.

Why is mercutio worried about Tybalt's challenge to the Montagues?
Mercutio is woried because Tybalt is an excellent fighter
After mercutio and Tybalt fight why does mercutio say tomorrow you will find me a garve man?
It is foreshadowing that Mercutio is going to tomorrow. Grave is being used as a pun.
What does it mean when Tybalt says Mercutio thou consortest with romeo?
Mercutio has no quarrel with Mercutio. He's looking for Romeo. He starts by greeting Mercutio and Benvolio very politely "Gentlemen, good-den. A word with one of you." What he wants is to find out where Romeo is so he can fight him. He starts by saying "Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo". A "consort" is a companion, a friend, one who goes along with you; to consort with someone is to be their friend and companion, to go along with them. Tybalt's next line would be "Can you tell me where he is?" Because Mercutio is in an obnoxious mood, he manages to turn this perfectly polite statement into an insult, then to make a punning threat based on it. By the time he's done, Romeo has shown up, so Tybalt does not have to deal any further with Mercutio. He says, with great relief no doubt, "Well, peace be with you sir. Here comes my man." But Mercutio is not done with Tybalt. Not liking Romeo's placating responses to Tybalt's attempts to get him into a fight, Mercutio bursts in and calls Tybalt a "ratcatcher". Tybalt again replies politely: "What would you have with me." He only draws in response to Mercutio pulling out his own sword. What all this shows is that Mercutio goes way out of his way to provoke Tybalt into a fight he didn't want. Then when it turns out badly for him, he blames Romeo. A plague on Mercutio's house!
What do Tybalt and mercutio say to each other that causes them to fight?
Mercutio says to Tybalt: "Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?", which is the equivalent of saying "How would you like to step outside and discuss this?". It's a challenge. Challenges often result in fights.Tybalt says "I am for you" which means "You're on." It may seem odd that he says "I am for you" when he is really against him, but that's just the way the language goes. It's like saying, "If you want to fight, I'm your man." If you are your opponent's man, what are you fighting for? Tybalt means "I am the man for you."
Why does Tybalt want to kill Romeo?
Romeo had to kill someone, in order for the sequence of events to happen properly. Tybalt has been set up as a quarrelsome man who imagines that he has a grudge against Romeo for crashing Capulet's party (Capulet didn't seem to mind) and so will inevitably create a fight, which creates the occasion for Romeo to kill him.

Basically they were spoiling for a fight. Tybalt was looking for Romeo in order to fight him, but Romeo didn't want to fight Tybalt.

How would you write an opening statement for the mock trial romeo vs Verona in the killing of Tybalt?
My client Romeo stands accused of the death of Tybalt. I will endeavour to prove to you that he killed Tybalt purely as a matter of self defence. Tybalt was a known troublemaker with a short temper and had long harboured a grudge against Romeo. On the day in question he was looking for a fight and picked one with Romeo's cousin Mercutio which resulted in the death of Mercutio, a totally innocent man, at the hand of this Tybalt. Tybalt then picked a fight with my client Romeo who was forced to defend his life, if not his honour. Unfortunately Tybalt was killed. The fault lay with that ugly brute Tybalt not with my dishy young client Romeo.
In Romeo and Juliet who is Mercutio?
Mercutio is Romeo's close friend and a witty, quick-witted and hot-tempered young man in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." His spirited personality serves as a foil to Romeo's more romantic and introspective nature. Mercutio's death at the hands of Tybalt is a turning point in the play.
