   Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio Character Analysis. With a lightning-quick wit and a clever mind, Mercutio is a scene stealer and one of the most memorable characters in all of Shakespeare’s works. Though he constantly puns, jokes, and teases—sometimes in fun, sometimes with bitterness— Mercutio is not a mere jester or prankster.

   Fan Favorite. Mercutio is a showstopper. He's dirty, funny, out of control, and—we'll say it—compared to him, Romeo and Juliet can seem whiny and repetitive. Mercutio is technically a minor character, but his personality has such a disproportionate impact that maybe he has to die or he would take over the play.

   Why does Mercutio want Romeo to sigh?

   • He wants Romeo, for example, to appear to him in the form of a sigh (because he's saying that Romeo is so love struck that all he does is sigh.) However, Romeo is not on stage at the time. The other possibility is Act I, Scene 4. To me, though, Mercutio is really just saying that love in general is stupid in that scene. Schimmel, Isabell.
