Question

This is for a Romeo and Juliet thing, so if you read it I’d love your help!

What are 3 ways that Mercutio added depth to the story?

Answer 1

His actions caused the death of Juliet's cousin Tybalt, he indirectly caused Romeo and Juliet to meet, and he has an indirect cause in both Romeo and Juliet's death.

Answer 2

Mercutio's ignorance of Romeo's new love, although potentially comical, propels him to the fatal fight with Tybalt in Act III, Scene 1. Mercutio's death enables Shakespeare to develop him as a tragic figure and alter the trajectory of the play from a comic to a tragic course. hope this helped a bit
