This is significant because it shows that Mercutio's loyalty to Romeo was not due to family pressures.

Who is Mercutio?

  • He is a friend of Romeo's.
  • He is one of those responsible for the comic relief of the story.
  • He is the character killed by Tybalt, which causes Romeo's banishment.

Mercutio is Romeo's best friend and the story becomes a comic relief. He doesn't belong to either of the main families and doesn't owe allegiance to either of them, but his loyalty to Romeo is so great that he lost his life defending him.
