Question

What do you think Mercutio thinks of fate or destiny? Why? Answer in complete sentences.

Answer 1

You can say that Mercutio did believe in destiny and he even saw things in the form of an omen.

For example, when Mercutio says: "a plague on both your houses" after the bloody struggle that resulted in his death, he wants fate to punish the Capulets and the Montagues for what they have done to him.

And indeed, a "curse" falls on both families, which ends with the death of Romeo and Juliet.

Answer 2

Mercutio doesn't have any particular thoughts about women or fate and destiny. He is young and just having fun. He doesn't take things seriously. Although he is reckless, he does things and control them. He creates his destiny - that until his fate is taken out of his control.
