She didn't really have a closing "remark", but she would close each show by singing So Glad We Had This Time Together, and then would always tug on her ear.
It's a monologue. It can't be a soliloquy because that's a speech given when there's nobody else onstage. It can't be an aside, because that is a remark made by one person which the audience can hear, but the people onstage (or some of them) can't. Here Mercutio is making a long speech to his friends. Everyone hears it. It is a long speech given by one person--a monologue.
Mercutio specializes in making puns and wordplay, often using double entendres and clever language to create humor and witty remarks in his conversations.
This line is spoken by Mercutio in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. It is a humorous remark made by Mercutio before his death.
Tybalt says to Mercutio "thou consortest with Romeo." To consort with someone is to hang out with them, to accompany them. This would make Tybalt's remark pretty feeble (But then, Tybalt is not exactly known for his wit.) Some people have suggested that the remark may imply that Romeo and Mercutio are homosexual lovers. You have to know that, to the Elizabethans, two men could express the most extravagant feelings for each other and that was not only acceptable but encouraged, but such expressions of love never ever implied any physical or sexual aspect. Basically, men could love each other to bits but if they ever got sexual about it they were in big big trouble. (sort of the way we feel about parents and children) If Tybalt was really implying that Mercutio was Romeo's "masculine whore" (to use the phrase from Troilus and Cressida) Mercutio would have been outraged and at Tybalt's throat. As it is, he just plays with puns on the word "consort" and continues with his needling of Tybalt. From this we can guess that Tybalt's remark wasn't as offensive as all that.
