(Shakespeare 219) Romeo and Tybalt fight,Romeo is angry that Tybalt has killed Mercutio. It was Romeos personal choice that leads to the following events,when he kills Tybalt,and the prince banned him from

When Romeo shows up, Romeo tries to keep the peace but Tybalt says, "Boy, your words can't excuse the harm you've done to me, so now turn and draw your sword". Mercutio, however, stands up for Romeo and fights Tybalt. They "fight", but eventually, Tybalt accidentally kills Mercutio, then flees. His rage and desire for Romeo caused the death of another person. He keeps seeking fights out of his anger.

In one scene of this romantic tragedy, there is a fight between multiple characters, resulting in two deaths. Tybalt on the side of the Capulets, and Mercutio on the side of the Montagues. The feud was the sole reason this happened. Tybalt was raised to absolutely despise Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio, and vice versa. If the feud had not existed, the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio would have been prevented, as well as Romeo’s banishment, which eventually lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

The fight in the first place was because Romeo invaded the Capulet party which made Tybalt mad. The fight leads to the downfall of Mercutio. After that Romeo decides to accept Tybalt’s challenge, he says to Tybalt,

Mercutio took blame as he started the fight against Tybalt, although Tybalt attempts to provoke him to fight, when Romeo refuses, Mercutio answers to Tybalt. This fight was a brutal and even sarcastic play around for both the characters, until Mercutio and the Montagues were sent into shock when Tybalt killed him. Due to this tragedy, Romeo decided to stand up for his best friend, as if he was a brother to him. From one event to another, this argument led to the sudden death of Tybalt, due to Romeo's anger. As the town started to notice this bloody fight, Romeo was caught and banished.

After a fight breaks out on the streets between the Capulets and the Montagues the prince steps in and tries to stop it.The prince shouts, “If ever you disturb our streets again/Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” (Shakespeare 17). The prince had enough with their fighting.He said if they ever got caught fighting on the streets they would all die. The next time a fight breaks out on the streets Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm after Romeo tried to stop the fight..Romeo later goes on to kill Tybalt. All in all, Mercutio and Tybalt's death are heart breaking deaths that are foreshadowed more than once throughout the

     Fate, for better or worse, interrupts everyone’s daily life, whether he/she chooses to acknowledge it or not. Thinking about fate conjures up different feelings for different people; some people believe strongly in it, some people think of fate as ridiculous, and some do not care one way or the other. However, in many instances, such as in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, far too many coincidences occur to be strictly coincidental. Fate creates a powerful effect throughout the entire play, starting in the prologue, continuing as Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love, and tragically ending in the lovers’ deaths.

Mercutio, who was a strong believer that no man should back down from a fight and shouldn’t tolerate insults, fought with Tybalt instead of Romeo, getting killed in the end. Another reason why the Capulets were at fault, is that Tybalt entered the scene of the argument full of pride, anger and arrogance. He approached the other men, saying to his followers, “Follow me close, for I will speak to them” (3.1.34.) This quote displays how he told his entourage to look up to him and listen closely as he speaks, as if he were the president, and they were the news reporters. Tybalt then proceeded to mock Romeo and made it seem that he is above and better than all of the Montagues. Tybalt tried to start a fight with a Romeo, but ended up fighting Mercutio and killing him instead.

FATE KILLED ROMEO AND JULIET. Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy was caused by fate. Throughout the story there were many examples of fate playing a big part during the story, which ultimately led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were born to be enemies, Romeo coming from the Montagues and Juliet coming from the Capulets, There families have been in a fued for years. Fate is most responsible for Romeo and Juliet's deaths because there families hate each other so they might of loved each other that doesn't mean their parents do which is demonstrated through Shakespeare’s use of repetition.

The ability one has to determine their own fate may be justified by his ability to foresee the repercussions of his actions. However, in the case of the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare clearly states at the beginning of the play that the two star-crossed lovers would die by taking their own lives. Even if Romeo and Juliet wanted to run away and make their own fate, Shakespeare's foreshadowed destiny would prevail in making Romeo and Juliet take their own lives. Shakespeare showed the power of fate, even when fate was presented with numerous setbacks, such as the feud between the families that should have prevented Romeo and Juliet from ever becoming lovers, when Romeo got banished for killing Tybalt, and when Lord Capulet arranges Juliet’s marriage to Paris.

Romeo and Juliet, the tragic love story that influences many authors still to this day but is there more than meets the eye, when it comes to these two unlucky teens, more than two lovesick teens but instead fate.
