Answer:

Explanation:

I think you need a little bit of background.

Mercutio is neither a Montague nor a Capulet. He comes to feel that he must defend Romeo's honor when Romeo refuses to cross swords with Tybalt (who is a relative of Juliet).  Romeo does not want to be held responsible for any death that would put him in bad light with Juliet.

So Tybalt and Mercutio duel. Mercutio lies dying as he utters his famous curse. A plague is a horrible thing to die of. Mercutio is saying that both houses need a swift ending -- in other words a plague to visit them.

Of course it does. Both parents suffer great loses by the time the play ends.

Answer:

From the book and the Graphic novel it can be said that he is a young man since he has only being working for the company five years but he is in debt with them, and all his family depends on him, they also have a photograph of him about his military service on the wall.

It can also be inferred the absurdity of the universe in which it doesn’t matter how good you are, for instance Gregor is a good man how has a job he dislikes just to cover his family expenses, and to pay his sister’s studies.

Dramatic irony from the outsiders
Afina-wow [57]
Long Answer: In The World: Ponyboy and Johnny are ambushed by a group of Socs. Because Ponyboy is without a weapon, he quickly is beat down in the fight; when he awakens from his unconscious state, he discovers that Johnny has killed one of the Socs. With the help of Dally, Ponyboy and Johnny make their escape, hopping on a train to Windrixville and hiding out in an abandoned church. 

Ponyboy claims about this journey: "This is the country, I thought half asleep. My dream's come true and I'm in the country." 

This is ultimately ironic because Ponyboy's fantasy about living in the country always involved him living a more peaceful life; now that he has finally ended up in the country, he is there as a result of extreme disruption and to hide from the police. The environment is right, and the circumstances are all wrong.
