Mercutio
Mercutio is Romeo's best friend and an important part in Romeo and Juliet. He is very crude and humorous, but he also enjoys fighting. He is the prince's son and hangs with with the Montague family. He warns Romeo about loving Rosaline and tries to cheer him up. "Mercutio is an anti-romantic character who, like Juliet's Nurse, regards love as an exclusively physical pursuit. He advocates an adversarial concept of love that contrasts sharply with Romeo's idealized notion of romantic union. In Act I, Scene 4, when Romeo describes his love for Rosaline using the image of love as a rose with thorns." (http://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/r/romeo-and-juliet/character-analysis/mercutio)
Mercutio gets in a duel with Tybalt and when Romeo tries to break it up, he gets stabbed. Romeo gets really mad and upset and kills Tybalt after Mercutio's death.
Mercutio. If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
Give me a case to put my visage in:
A visor for a visor! what care I
What curious eye doth quote deformities?
Here are the beetle brows shall blush for me.
