Mercutio is a very practical and persuasive character, in act 1 scene 4, He tells Romeo a story of a ridiculous dream he had and makes Romeo realize that dreams don’t have anything to do with reality. Mercutio is Romeo’s right hand man and best friend. He is always mentoring him and protecting him. Unfortunately, His attempt to persuade Tybalt to resolve conflict, ends up being his demise. Without Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet never would have met.
Lastly is Romeo. Romeo’s main trait is being emotional which is also his weakness. In scene 2 act 2, Romeo asks Juliet to marry him the next day, the night they met. The same night Romeo asks a girl to be his wife, he was complaining about another girl literally hours before then. Romeo lets his emotions get the best of him and it is what kills him in the end. He gets overly attached to Juliet and feels like he can’t live without her. Romeo’s Emotional character is a key part of the plot.
Without these three character traits, the story of Romeo and Juliet would not be the same. They need to be there for the plot to move smoothly. Even if one of the characters wasn’t there, pieces would be missing. Good characters are the key to a good story and Romeo and Juliet excels in that
