Which lines in this excerpt from act II of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet reveal that Mercutio thinks Romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love?

Answer :

One of the lines that most suits this claim is when Mercutio says, "These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die..." (Act II scene VI). Although this quote can be used to argue many different points, it can be seen in a way that violent delights is speaking about Romeo's love, and their violent ends could be foreshadowing to the ending of the story in which Romeo poisons himself.
