- Lively and talkative.
- he is always mocking other characters in the play.
- he has a close bond with Romeo as they are close enough tomcod each other and have a laugh.
- His speech shows a lot about him being witty and intellectual. with all he innuendos and puns he uses.
- He is a down to earth character when he criticises Romeo who believes his dreams show him the future.

- He is the first one to die in the play. the energy and liveliness disappears with the life of mercutio.
- His death is an important turning point in the play, it is the start of the tragic events in the play.
- He wishes a curse and a plague on both houses and reminds the audience how dangerous the feud is as he doesn't belong to either house but was still killed because of the conflict.
- The theme of honour is shown in mercutio as he died protecting Romeo's honour. this could be interpreted that Shakespeare was criticising honour and how pointless it is compared to the death of a friend.
- He represents the theme of Love as well as his attitude to love is cynical and a bit rude. Similar to the nurse he also makes lots of sexual jokes in contrast to Romeo's romantic view.
- Fate is also seen as his curse comes true partly because of his death.
