Answer: Mercutio is accusing Benvolio of being a hot-tempered man who looks for trouble with others over petty things .

Step-by-step explanation:

Thou art like one of these fellows that, when

he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his

sword upon the table and says “God send me no

need of thee” and, by the operation of the second

cup, draws him on the drawer when indeed there is

no need.

BENVOLIO Am I like such a fellow?

MERCUTIO Come, come, thou art as hot a jack in thy

mood as any in Italy, and as soon moved to be

moody, and as soon moody to be moved.

BENVOLIO And what to?

MERCUTIO Nay, an there were two such, we should

have none shortly, for one would kill the other.

Thou—why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that

hath a hair more or a hair less in his beard than

thou hast. Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking

nuts, having no other reason but because thou

hast hazel eyes.
