Friar Lawrence, Tybalt, and Mercutio are characters from which play?

• A. Romeo and Juliet
• B. Othello
• C. The Tempest
• D. King Lear

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of which Shakespeare play features these three characters. Friar Lawrence is the priest who secretly marries Romeo and Juliet; Tybalt is Juliet’s hot-tempered cousin who embodies the family feud; Mercutio is Romeo’s witty friend whose death drives the tragic turn of the story. All three appear together in Romeo and Juliet, making it the correct play. The other options belong to different stories entirely—Othello centers on Othello, Desdemona, and Iago; The Tempest centers on Prospero and his island; King Lear centers on Lear and his daughters—so they don’t fit all three characters.
