Mercutio, though a minor character, had and enormous impact on the outcome of the play. Before the Capulet Ball, Romeo had been debating whether to go or not. Mercutio persuaded him to go by giving a big speech to him about a dream he had. This makes him partially responsible because the Ball is where Romeo first met Juliet. Mercutio also caused Romeo to be banished from Verona. Mercutio got in a fight with Tybalt and ended up dead. His death enraged Romeo enough to make him kill Tybalt in revenge. When the Prince saw what happened, he sent Romeo into exile. Romeo's banishment to Mantua made it near impossible for Romeo and Juliet to see each other. Mercutio was to blame, though only partially for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Tybalt is a Capulet and very passionate about hating the Montagues. In Act 1 Scene 5 when Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio sneak into Capulet’s party, Tybalt recognizes Romeo and begs Lord Capulet to kick him out. “Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe, / A villain that is hither come in spite / To scorn at our solemnity this night” (1. v. 69-71).

Of all the things that occur in Romeo and Juliet, the death of Tybalt is one of the most climatic parts of the story. Yet, this all started from another killing of a different person, Mercutio. Mercutio, a relative of the Prince and friend of Romeo, and Tybalt, nephew to Lady Capulet and Mercutio’s arch enemy, were in a heated conversion when Romeo walked in after getting married to Juliet and saw what was going on. Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight and Romeo tried to come in between them to stop the whole thing. Unfortunately, as Tybalt was under Romeo’s arms, he stabbed Mercutio and he died soon after. In all the rage, Romeo was furious that his friend was dead and starts to fight with Tybalt. Eventually, Romeo slays Tybalt and he falls to the floor and dies. Romeo runs away in agony before the Prince soon arrives at the scene of the fight with all the other citizens that were awakened by this fray to see what happened.

In this scene, Tybalt went to the montagues for a challenge since romeo came to the capulet's party.Romeo didn't want to start a fight with Tybalt because first he knows Tybalt is way stronger than him and second he loves Juliet and he doesn't want to hurt anybody from the Capulets.Then Mercutio started talking and started to make fun of Tybalt. As a result, Tybalt and Mercutio started fighting even though Mercutio knows that Tybalt is stronger than him. Romeo tried to break the fight. While romeo is breaking the fight Tybalt killed Mercutio and that was the turning point of the story.
Friar John gives his excuse to Friar Laurence by stating, "I could not send it- here it is again- nor get a messenger to bring it thee." (Shakespeare 5.2.14-15). During this act, many miscommunications happen. Friar John was supposed to deliver a crucial letter that contained the plan for the two lovebirds to run away together. He could not deliver it which makes the story end fatally. Romeo could have stayed alive and their plane could have followed through if he got the message. Meaning that Friar John influenced Romeo's life. But before that happened, let's talk about how Romeo even got exiled. Mercutio insults Tybalt by saying, "O calm, dishonourable, vile submission!" (Shakespeare 3.1.72). Mercutio fights Tybalt after Romeo refused to do so. Mercutio ends up slain which would have happened if he didn't say those hurtful words. But, Mercutio did choose to fight and start trouble, which all lies in the hands of himself. Romeo becomes furious with Tybalt over the death of Mercutio. "Either thou or I, or both, must go with him." (Shakespeare 3.1.130). Romeo ends up killing Tybalt which buries him in a deep hole that he can not get out of, leading to his exile. It was not Mercutio or Tybalt that caused his terrible choices it was himself. Making one's self as the victim does not solve problems and is usually not right because it all starts with one's own
Mercutio played big roles in pushing Romeo to attend the party, dying to affect Romeo’s further actions, and being of noble blood which puts him as a bigger character than Friar Lawrence. Mercutio’s insistency for Romeo to attend the party was the start of Romeo’s future fate. Without this event occurring Romeo would still probably be moping about for the tragedy of Rosaline lack of love towards him. Mercutio death is quite demoralizing, he was such a joyful character which brought humor into the play. The role of playing fate was his task. He accomplished what it seemed he was set out to
