Romeo and Tybalt's relationship added to the wretched ending of the play. Tybalt had noticed Romeo at the Capulet's ball, and due to Romeo being a Montague, he was angered. Tybalt had asked Lord Capulet if he could confront and attack him, but was told that he was not to inflict harm because Romeo was not being disrespectful. Tybalt had been seeking out Romeo, so that he could find him and fight him ever since he saw him at the Capulet's ball. Eventually, the two meet again and Tybalt kills Romeo’s good friend, Mercutio. Romeo becomes furious, and his anger leads him to lose control, and kills Tybalt. After Romeo kills Tybalt he was banished from Verona by the prince. Romeo would not have been banished if he weren't so angered and killed Tybalt, who killed Mercutio. The banishment eventually led to the plan of Romeo and Juliet running away together. The play's tragic ending could've been avoided if Romeo and Tybalt calmed their fury, and the plan for Romeo and Juliet was not created. In the end, the fury of Romeo and Tybalt led to rash decisions that would have been avoided if the two were thinking clearly and not filled with pure anger for the
Mercutio is there instead and Tybalt and him get into an argument and begin to sword fight. Romeo then tries to separate the two, but gets in the way and Tybalt kills Mercutio. After Mercutio is killed, Romeo immediately goes after Tybalt even though minutes ago, he was telling Tybalt, that he loves him more than he knows. (3.1.59). Romeo acts without thinking and kills Tybalt, which results in numerous outcomes that lead to his death. After the prince learns what happened to Tybalt he states, “ And for that offense, immediately we do exile him hence.” (3.1.184-185). For slaying Tybalt, Romeo gets exiled and has to leave, making his relationship with Juliet harder to keep than it was before and causing himself and Juliet agony. It causes Juliet to become depressed, making her father believe that only marriage will make her happy again. When Romeo is crying on the ground after he finds out he is exiled, Friar states to him, “ Wilt thou slay thyself? And slay thy lady that in thy life lives.” (3.3.116-117). The Friar is saying to Romeo that if he kills himself, Juliet will kill herself too, which later they prove to be true. If Romeo had not killed Tybalt, then he would have been closer to Juliet and would not have been so gloomy. Juliet and he could have had a secret relationship until they were ready to tell their families that they loved each other. Slaying Tybalt causes their marriage to become more of a
Tybalt wants to fight Romeo because he crashed the party where he met Juliet. Because Tybalt is known for his skilled sword fighting, Mercurio doesn’t believe Romeo will will in this fight so he fights for him.

This resulted in Mercutio's death, and tempered romeo quite quickly. Romeo chases after Tybalt and fights him. With Romeo’s rage, the fight ends up with Tybalt dead. After the two deaths were revealed, Romeo was to blame for the killings and was banned from his home (Verona). Romeo was able to marry Juliet but would be separated from her forever. Before he must leave Juliet sneaks him into her room so they could sleep together to complete their marriage. After the night, romeo leaves at dawn. A professor named Friar Lawrence was the man who secretly married them, and was soon asked by Juliet to make a potion to make her fall asleep for a period of time so she appears dead. Once she is Buried outside the town she plans to leave home with Romeo. Romeo hears about this and thinks that she is
The younger characters, Romeo and Juliet, demonstrate how their rash choices lead to the tragic ending of the play. Romeo wanted revenge for Mercutio when Tybalt killed him. Romeo was lead by his “fire-eyed fury” and sought after him. He hunted down Tybalt and executed him. However, the Prince of Verona banished Romeo for fighting in the streets. Because of his banishment, he was not able to see and communicate with Juliet and the rest of the characters.

So, she replies that she will look to do as her mother asks, but she needs consent to go further. This buys her time, which is what she needs. She wants to marry someone out of love,

True love doesn’t happen within seconds of meeting a stranger. Romeo and Juliet’s love was not a true and serious relationship. The
