i think mercuto feels he has to protect romeo. the only reason he scolds him and gets so angry is because one, he's very passionate
about everything and two, he wants romeo to be safe

I can see that; he feels a certain loyalty towards romeo. Like a brother. But he's also got a temper. That's what makes him similar 2 tybalt
