Provide at least 3 reasons that both Mercutio and Tybalt cannot avoid fighting?

They both want to fightNeither of them wants to avoid fighting.They each think they have reasons to fight.Of course, these are all the same reason, just expressed differently, but the fact is that Mercutio and Tybalt could easily have avoided fighting each other and there are many reasons for that: Tybalt is not a Capulet. Even though he hangs with them, he is only associated with them because he is Mrs. Capulet's nephew. Therefore there was no need for him to buy into the feud unless he really wanted to.Mercutio is not a Montague. Even though he hangs with them, he is actually a member of the Prince's family like Paris. There was no need for him to buy into the feud either.There was no need for Tybalt to pursue Romeo. Capulet told him rather forcefully that the fact that Romeo gatecrashed the party was not an insult to the Capulets, and Tybalt was ordered to let the matter go. He continued with it because he really wanted to fight Romeo, even if it was against the orders of Capulet.If there was no reason for Tybalt to fight Romeo, there was even less reason to fight Mercutio, who did not gatecrash the party. Mercutio was invited.Even if Romeo refused to fight Tybalt, as he did, there was no need for Mercutio to step into his place. Any dishonour or stain of cowardice would fall on Romeo, not his friends. Benvolio did not think it necessary to fight, and he was actually related to Romeo. A fortiori, Mercutio had no reason to do so.For some reason, Mercutio has a hate on for Tybalt, calling him "Prince of Cats" and "ratcatcher", and "the very butcher of a silk button". He doesn't like the way Tybalt has studied fighting and then uses that skill against those less skilled, in the same way a cat catches rats. But the response to this is not to get into illegal street fights, but to talk to his relative the Prince and get the Prince to arrest Tybalt for street fighting. Mercutio makes it personal because it IS personal; the hate came first, and the rationale came later.


How does mercutio respond to benvolios suggestion that mercutio would let himself get into a argument?

Mercutio responds that he actually enjoys getting into arguments and will not back down from a fight. He sees arguing as a skill and a form of entertainment, and not something that would bother him.


Why Mercutio was in awe of the new fashion of dueling with rapier rather than with sword?

Mercutio was in awe of the new fashion of dueling with a rapier because it allowed for more skill and finesse in combat compared to the traditional broadswords. Rapiers were lighter and more flexible, enabling duellists to showcase their precise movements and technique. Mercutio admired the artistry and style that came with this new form of dueling.


What is a quote from Romeo and Juliet that reflects the time period this story was written in?

Mercutio: He fights as you sing pricksong--keeps time, distance and proportion; he rests his minim rests one, two and the third in your bosom. The very butcher of a silk button, a duellist! a duellist! a gentleman of the very first house, of the first and second cause. The passado! The punto reverso! the hay! Benvolio: The what?? Mercutio: The pox of such antic, lisping affecting fantasticoes--these new tuners of accent: "By Jesu, a very good blade! a very tall man! a very good whore!" Like Benvolio, the modern reader or viewer is likely to scratch his head and say "The what??" Mercutio in several ways is a man of his age in this passage. First, he is talking about Tybalt as a "duellist"--someone who is practiced in the art of fighting duels with a sword--a custom which arose only a few centuries before Shakespeare and lasted only about 250 years afterward. (a little longer in Germany). He uses special swordfighting terms ("the punto reverso") and special terms related to the delivery of a challenge ("the first or second cause"). He also creates a comparison between swordfighting as practised by a bully duelist like Tybalt and singing from sheet music ("pricksong"). This was a common entertainment in Tudor times, there being no recorded music and a great number of people being skilled in reading music. Unfortunately in our day this skill is less widespread. Finally, Mercutio makes fun of the slang language of the day as used by those trend-setting fops we still have setting our slang language nowadays. The only problem is that in the last 400 years, this particular piece of slang has become standard. The word "very", related as it is to words such as "verity", "veracious", verisimiltude", "verily" and the like, meant "truly". Mercutio complains that the fops use it so often even in cases where you wouldn't expect to find much truth ("a very good whore"--you wouldn't expect a whore to be "true") so it becomes an all-purpose word of emphasis, which is exactly how it is used nowadays.
