    fact it is Mercutio. Mercutio, a blood relative to Escalus and Count Paris, is shown to be quite the witty skeptic as he provides comic relief throughout the entirety of the play. Mercutio's opinions towards love differs greatly from romeo's as he views love as a purely physical enjoyment. Therefore, he believes that Romeo should go to the Capulet ball, to see all the other ladies of Verona and compare them to Rosaline, who Romeo was depressed over before the beginning on the play. Mercutio is…

Mercutio’s death, a crucial part of the story, is a great example of why the 1996 version is clearly better than the 1968 version. The 1968 version of this scene goes as such, Mercutio is accidentally stabbed and killed but keeps the fact that he has been stabbed hidden from his friends until the final reveal.
