Why does Shakespeare include this comic speech by Mercutio?

to explain Benvolio’s strange behavior
to question the established laws of Verona
to mock the reasons for quarrels and feuds
to illustrate the close friendship between the men

#Answer:-

Shakespeare in the play Romeo and Juliet, includes this comic speech by Mercutio in order to illustrate the close friendship between the men.

Mercutio accuses his fellow Montague Benvolio of not picking up fights and being hypocrite suggesting pair to go inside to avoid the fight. Mercutio is neither totally Montagues nor Capulet. Due to his close friendship with Benvolio and Romeo, he is considered to be Montagues and he is the cousin of the prince. To not let Benvolio deter him, in this scene he picks up the fight with the Capulets. Through his tone of quarrel, it is clear that his attitude is none-too-serious, taking it as a joke. His fight in the above passage is clearly ridiculous and non-sensical. Through this, mirrors the fight between Capulets and Montagues is equally baseless and unnecessary. Here, they fight because they have fought and they are 'quarrelsome' like Benvolio.

To illustrate the close friendship between the men is the Shakespeare include this comic speech by Mercutio. Hence, option D is correct.

Benvolio, a fellow Montague, is accused by Mercutio of not picking fights and acting hypocritically by advising the two parties to leave the area to avoid the altercation. Mercutio is not entirely Capulet or the Montagues.

He is regarded as a Montague and is the prince's cousin because of his strong connection with Romeo and Benvolio. He picks up the fight with the Capulets in this scene, determined to not let Benvolio intimidate him. It is obvious from his tone of argument that he doesn't take it too seriously and considers it to be a joke.

In the excerpt above, his fight is obviously absurd and senseless. This reflects how pointless and senseless the conflict between the Capulets and Montagues is.

Thus, option D is correct.

My favorite book has to be Charlie and the Chocolate factory. thats probably because I love eating chocolate my self. If only I could make my own chocolates.

Read the excerpts from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” and “Speaking Arabic.”


My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.


At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
