In the book Mercutio’s first effect on Romeo and Juliet’s lives was the fact that he caused them to meet. Romeo had been feeling down about the fact that the woman he loved, Rosaline, did not return his affection. While he, Mercutio and others were walking the streets, a servant from the Capulet’s house approached them and asked Romeo if he could read the guest list to a Capulet ball
. . .
For killing Tybalt, Romeo was banished from Verona. Mercutio told Romeo that if he went to the ball it might take his mind off of Rosaline. If Mercutio had never insisted that Romeo go to the Capulet ball Romeo and Juliet may never had met and neither of them would have committed suicide. (He had not gotten Juliet’s letter telling him it was a hoax). This effected Romeo and Juliet’s lives in a major way.
To conclude Mercutio had a very dramatic affect on both Romeo and Juliet’s lives.
Another way Mercutio affected Romeo and Juliet’s lives was his death. If he had not intervened they may never have met, Tybalt may not have been slain, and Romeo and Juliet might not have had such tragic deaths
. But for the plan to work Juliet had to pretend she was dead. After the plan was in affect Romeo heard that Juliet had died. Since he was banished from Verona he could not see Juliet as often as he wished. After he had heard that there was going to be a ball at the Capulet’s house Mercutio suggested that he, Romeo, and their other friends should go to the ball.
