Summary Of Mercutio And Benvolio In Act 1 Of Romeo And Juliet

During Act 3, Scene 1, a brawl occurs between Mercutio and Tybalt. In this, Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him from under Romeo’s arm as Romeo tried to stop the fight. Out of revenge for Mercutio’s death, Romeo kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus arrives along with some of the Capulets and Montagues to enquire into the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio explains what happened and The Prince decided to sentence Romeo to exile from Verona. Romeo deserved to be banished from Verona because he committed murder, which is a serious crime and putting Romeo to death would have escalated the feud between the families.

The next day, Benvolio and Romeo have an encounter with Tybalt, who is still out to get Romeo for crashing the Capulet’s party. When Romeo refuses to duel with Tybalt, Mercutio steps in and accepts the duel. This duel, however, ultimately led to the killing of Mercutio by Tybalt. Out of guilt for Mercutio, Romeo attacks Tybalt killing him.

In Act 3 Scene 1, Tybalt seeks Romeo to duel him because he had been at the Capulet’s party previously in the play, but Romeo refuses to fight his own cousin. Tybalt, unaware that Romeo is his cousin, jests at Mercutio and Romeo until Mercutio accepts the challenge to duel. Romeo is hurt to witness his cousin and his best friend fighting, so he attempts to break up the duel. Mercutio becomes the unlucky soul who has to pay the price for Romeo’s secret wedding as well as their secret entrance to the Capulet party. Tybalt dies near after when Romeo avenges Mercutio’s death all because Romeo went to a party he was not invited to be at. Paris’s untimely death occurs because Juliet did not fancy marrying County Paris so she drinks a potion to put her in a deathlike state. Romeo hearing of her death, ventures to the tomb where she lays “dead.” Romeo, on the way to his death, kills Paris. These three deaths occur because of the secrecy and lies that take place throughout the play.

I will ask Friar Laurence to act as a reliable and wise older priest would. He should report the Prince's ruling over Romeo's transgression with happiness, since banishment is truly preferable to death. Later on, he should be able to depict disappointment over Romeo's reaction to banishment, underlining that he is talking down to Romeo who is being extra unreasonable. Likewise, as Romeo continues to argue that he is worse off banished than dead, the Friar will appear impatient with Romeo's lack of appreciation over this "good news" that he brings. Also, the Friar will seem emotionally detached to differentiate himself from the excessively sensitive Romeo. He has to show what it means to be a sensible and calm adult. Nonetheless, as he hears from the Nurse how miserable Juliet is and how Romeo would readily kill himself over causing Juliet's pain, he would look like he wrangled his brains to come up with the best solution possible where people would not die. The Friar would then remain prudent and composed above all the immaturity and emotionality of Romeo.

In response to his exile, Romeo threatens to commit suicide in Friar Lawrence's cell. Friar Lawrence then attempts to calm Romeo down, eventually leading into a humiliating conversation for Romeo as the Friar gets his revenge for Romeo's threats and groans about the banishment.

At the Capulet party that Benvolio took Romeo to, Tybalt wanted to kill Romeo when he heard his voice from behind the mask, he said, “I can tell by his voice that this man is a Montague. Get me my sword, boy. -What, does this peasant dare to come here with his face covered by a mask to sneer at and scorn our celebration? Now, by the honor of our family, I do not consider it a crime to kill him.” (Shakespeare 1.5.9). Capulet stopped Tybalt and told him, “You will tolerate him. What, little man? I saw you will. What the- Am I the boss here or you? What the- You won’t tolerate him! God help me! You’ll start a riot among my guests! There will be chaos!” (Shakespeare 1.5.41). So Tybalt took it somewhere else. Capulet was only worried about his guests, not Romeo’s life. This lead to Tybalt trying to kill Romeo but killing Mercutio instead. When Tybalt saw Romeo, his first thought was to kill him and honor his family. Capulet never

A fight breaks out between Tybalt and Mercutio, and it concludes with Mercutio getting slain by Tybalt (3.1.48-55). Mercutio ends up dying which angers Romeo because Tybalt killed him. Romeo out of sheer anger, kills Tybalt for revenge (3.1.91-97). This is a significant scene because it really shows hatred because Romeo out of just anger, kills Tybalt. After the fights are finished, the Prince enters the scene with the Montague and Capulet.

Tybalt is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he doesn't like Romeo and is always trying to start a fight with him. Tybalt states “ Romeo, the love i bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villian.... Boy this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done to me; therefore turn and draw “ ( 145 ). In act 3 when Tybalt is trying to pick a fight again Romeo responds with patience and love but when Mercutio steps in everything starts heading downhill. Romeo tries to stop the fight which consequently leads to Mercutio's death. Romeo, full of rage kills Tybalt in return and this is what leads to his banishment. As a result of Tybalt's foolishness he is dead and Romeo has to now suffer the banishment. The banishment is the final straw for Romeo so when he hears Juliet is dead he already isn't thinking straight and doesn't have Friar to turn to this

The night before her wedding day, Juliet waits for Romeo with excitement. The Nurse enters the room with the rope ladder that Romeo is to use to climb into Juliet’s room, but throws it down tiredly and sighs “ Ah well a day! He’s dead, he’s dead…we are undone lady”. The Nurse goes on and on, until Juliet thinks that she is talking about Romeo. After she has calmed down, she tells Juliet that Romeo killed Tybalt in a street fight, and tells that Juliet that no man can be trusted.

Secondly Tybalt sends a decree for a fight and he kills Mercutio. This is shown by “I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I”. This reveals that Mercutio wants to have a fight with Tybalt. Tybalt wants to have a fight with Romeo the most but Mercutio gets in the way. Mercutio feels that he must stand by the Montague’s. He feels he needs to be a true Montague and fight. Romeo retaliates and kills Tybalt in anger and revenge for his friend. This is apparent in the line “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. This conveys that Romeo felt he had to get revenge for Mercutio but he really didn’t mean to kill Tybalt and couldn’t believe that he’d actually done it.

From the beginning Mercutio was with the Montagues and Tybalt was a kinsman to the Capulets. This sword fight between the two did not only prove fatal to Mercutio and Tybalt, but also to Romeo and Juliet. The prince, before this fight, had declared that the next person that starts a quarrel with the other house shall be put to death. Benvolio knew this

Romeo and Tybalt end up fighting in the streets of Verona. A couple of seconds later Tybalt was lying on the ground after being stabbed by Romeo. Romeo is scared and doesn’t know what to do and ends of running away. After Romeo had ran away, the prince shows up. He arrives to see a dead Tybalt laying in the streets of Verona. Benvolio then explains every detail about what happened to the Prince. The prince, after hearing the whole story, decides to banish Romeo from Verona. Romeo killing Tybalt didn’t change the fact that the families still hates each other. Now that Mercutio and Tybalt are dead, the families hate each other more than ever. Even though Romeo was trying to do some good, he ended up making things worse, for the families, and his relationship with Juliet. In Act 5, Romeo goes to see Juliet “dead” in her tomb. Paris sees Romeo while paying his respects to Juliet. Romeo is suppose to be banished, so his presence makes Paris uneasy and scared. He thinks Romeo is up to no good. Paris confronts Romeo and says, “ And here is to come to do some villainous shame” (5.3.52). Paris accuses Romeo of trying to cause trouble. Romeo doesn’t like being called a troublemaker so they both draw their

The Capulets and the Montague once again had a feud yesterday at noon. Unfortunately this one left the residents of Verona at shock and grieve when they found out about the death of Tybalt Capulet, Lord capulet’s nephew, and Mercutio Escalus, prince’s kinsmen. Along with the deaths Romeo Montague was charged and exiled from the city of Verona. Witnesses, who were present at the crime scene have stated that Tybalt had challenged Romeo to a street brawl because he was at the Capulet's mask party. When the young Romeo refused the brawl, Tybalt started harassing him. Mercutio, a good friend of Romeo had enough with Tybalt and took Romeo’s place of fighting. The brawl ensured Mercutio’s death from being slained. Romeo was enraged with what had happened to his best friend. He fought Tybalt and killed him in the brawl.

What person doesn’t have their the strong points and their low points? No one of course, everyone has his or her positive and negative traits. In William Shakespeare’s tragic Romeo and Juliet(1594-1596), he tries to stay true to reality and portrays his characters that have their own set of blemishes and imperfections. Consequently, Romeo, one of the most famous literary characters of all time, stays true to this narrative. One major negative trait he exhibits throughout the play is too much passion, and one major positive trait he depicts is his loyalty to his one true love, Juliet Capulet and Mercutio, his best friend.

Tybalt wanted to scream at the two Capulet servants that were trying to pull him away from the battlefield. Instead, he turned around and punched one of them in the nose, causing both of them to step away from Tybalt.
