He said “Draw Benvolio; beat down their weapons. Gentle, gro shame! For bear this outrage!”(3.1.86) This is immature because he doesn’t back down from Tybalt to reserve peace. He just fights him. Children fight each other and have to be separated. The are often called immature for fighting each other. Mercutio on the other hand is an adult.

How does one know that a person is maturing? Are there signs? What defines maturity? “A mature person assumes responsibility for his or her actions” (“Maturity”) but does that mean someone who cannot do that should not be considered mature? In The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, both Holden and Taylor go through a period in their lives where they start “putting aside ‘toys’ and fantasies...seeing the world as it really is” (“Maturity”). For Taylor, adulthood is thrust upon her when she “inherits” Turtle, while for Holden it takes till the end of the book--when he is with Phoebe--to realize.
Whether some people say that maturity depends on age because as one grows so do responsibilities, but I say that maturity doesn’t depend on age because one can mature on how their surroundings are. For example, in a book called,” The Glass Castle”, there was a girl , Janet Walls, and her siblings who had to grow up at a young age. Janet’s mother and father hardly payed attention to their kids. Like when her mother doesn’t cook meals, or paying attention to them when they were in danger. Janet and her siblings had to
In the Shakespearean play, Romeo & Juliet, aggression is represented in different ways by the different characters in the play.

Mercutio is foxlike; a cunning, taunting, manipulative man; his own actions lead to this own demise. He taunted Tybalt, leading to their fight which led to Mercutio’s own
The Interaction Between the Old and Young in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, he tells a tale of “A pair of star crossed lovers”. Unusually for Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet focuses on two very young people. Throughout the play there is a contrast between the young and older characters in the play. The interaction between the characters is very important as it would form what happens in the play. In Shakespearean times there were probably different interactions depending on how you were related to each other.
Mercutio is a clever, short-tempered, and a sharp witted man who loves to fight out of anger when threatened or criticized. Mercutio is known for having anger issues and does not think before getting involved. After a run in with Tybalt, “Consort? What,
...es not necessarily mean just a fully grown up individual it is a combination of age, awareness, intelligence and decision making ability.” (V, Jayram) when you are intelligent you are able to become mature. When Charlie is trying to decide whether or not to tell Donner about Gimpy, this shows he is becoming more mature because of his decision making ability. This proves that there is a destructive nature of man shown through the various IQ levels needed to mature.
How can a word our society uses so much have such a loose definition. Teacher’s and parents refer to their children as mature or immature. But maybe one teacher’s definition of maturity is the child, —or adult, can press on while a fellow student is in trouble, to ensure he himself does well. While another’s definition is that the child expressed maturity for stopping and helping the other child in his decisions to avoid trouble. A common idea is that to show maturity one must weigh out all the possible outcomes and then ...
Maturity is not something that happens overnight. Maturity comes through trial and error; it’s a process which has to be perfected. Life throws curveballs and there are always multiple ways to deal with the situations. Being mature is making the right choices and knowing right from wrong.
One point that didn't seem to be fully addressed in Elmore's article was that a mature person recognizes and admits when they have made a mistake. They do so in such a way that addresses the problem effectively, but doesn't place the blame on others and isn't detrimental to him or herself. The ability to collaborate and problem solve with others without creating an overly dramatic situation is also an important quality of a mature person. There will be many different people and situations throughout life that someone may not necessarily agree with, but being able to act civilly and without prejudice is very
Age do not determined the actual matureness of a person neither the circumstance to handle situations. Adulthood is not based on age; it’s based on emotional maturity. The ability to listen to and evaluate the viewpoint on circumstance they find themselves on and been able to analyze how to find the solution to the problem that makes them mature. Age is just a number; therefore you could be twenty-six, twenty-eight and still act immature. Many teens think that as soon they 18 their parents are going to continue to help them but the true is that they already did their part raising them up. One part of growing up and becoming an adult is that parents are not always going to be there so you got to grow up on your own. Sooner or later he or she are going to face obstacles on their own and that would make them stronger which will help them mature.
Maturity is a quality that is admirable for anyone, at any age to have. Perhaps that is because it has to be learned over time and is not something that one naturally has as a character trait.

Adults are a symbol of maturity-- this goes back to the etymology of the word- which stems from the Latin word maturitas, maturitatis, f. In Latin, the word means ripeness, which would make sense because adults are fully developed. Although the literal meaning of maturity is within the realm of being fully developed, there is a more precise definition that would apply to the psychological and mental practice of what is maturity.
