He is just Romeos best friend ---- He is related to the King, but not directly. This statement is untrue. Yes he is Romeo's best friend, but he is DIRECTLY related to the Prince-who is the peace keeper of Verona:
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word by thee, old Capulet, and Montague, have thrice distrubed the quiet of our streets. If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. And Mercutio is his Nephew: Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio;
Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?
and he also says: But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine
That you shall all repent the loss of mine:
Tybalt is her cousin (her mother's brother's son). And obviously her parents are. Also Rosaline who is the girl Romeo was originally after is Juliet's cousin. She has a number of assorted cousins and uncles who come to the party.
Romeo is of course related to his father and mother, who appear in the play, and also his cousin Benvolio
Mercutio was a relative of Prince Escalus's who was a particular friend of Romeo's. He was also friendly enough with the Capulets to get himself invited to their party.
Prince, Juliet, Lord Capulet, and Lady Capulet.
We only know that he is a "kinsman"--a cousin or nephew, probably.
they are not related
Yes
Paris and Mercutio
yes because Paris killed mercutio in a fight. < This is wrong Romeo kills Tybalt because Tybalt killed mercutio in a fight. Paris plans to get married to Juliet but on the day of their wedding Juliet dies. So Paris never dies.<~ This is also wrong, Romeo kills Tybalt because he killed Mercutio and Romeo also kills Paris because he provoked him in the Capulet tomb. So Paris does die.
Mercutio and Paris.Mercutio and Paris.
Mercutio and the Prince are cousins.
Romeo is a Montague, and Juliet is a Capulet.
The Prince is related to both Paris and Mercutio. That's why he says he has lost a brace of kinsmen. A brace means two.
Escalus is related to Prince Escalus and Count Paris in Romeo and Juliet. Prince Escalus is the ruler of Verona, while Count Paris is a nobleman seeking to marry Juliet.
Mercutio is not part of any of the prominent families in Verona. He is a close friend of Romeo and is known for his wit and humor.
Mercutio is clearly related to Prince Escalus and Paris as well, so I guess his last name would be Escalus or whatever Prince Escalus's last name is.
NO! Paris is the male that Juliet's father, Sir Capulet, wanted Juliet to marry. Paris was very fond of Juliet; however, Juliet did not like Paris.

Not really. Like Mercutio, he is a relative of the Duke, and not related to either family. But while Mercutio hangs with the Montagues, Paris hangs with the Capulets and has ambitions to become Capulet's son-in-law. He allows himself to assume the prejudices and belligerent attitude of the Capulets so that when he sees Romeo he assumes the worst and will not listen to reason.
