| Tybalt and Mercutio Duel |
Soon after his marriage, Romeo discovers his friends had entered a vital fight with Tybalt who is Juliet's cousin.Because he has married Juliet and looks upon Tybalt as a relative, Romeo resists his advances. Nevertheless, the fight broke and both a friend of Romeo (Mercutio) and Tybalt are slain to death by their belligerence.
Romeo flees to Friar Laurence’s cell. Romeo’s fate is sealed when the Prince of Verona banishes him from the city for his deed. The despairing Romeo spends his first and final night with Juliet before he flees to Mantua at dawn. Not knowing that Juliet grieves for Romeo and assuming her tears are for her slain cousin Tybalt, the elder Capulet prepares for Juliet to marry the “Country Paris” later that same week (III,v.). Juliet pleads with her parents to postpone the wedding, and, when they refuse, seeks the Friar’s advice.

1.he is the cousin of juliet
ReplyDelete2.romeo
3.yes i think he would since mercutio wouldnt pushed romeo to the fight
1) Tybalt is Juliet's hot-tampered cousin
ReplyDelete2) Romeo kills him after Tybalt stabs Mercutio in a challenge that was supposed to be with Romeo himself.
3) He probably could have, yet again, Tybalt is presented from the beginning as an angry person, and he is the rival of Romeo. So, maybe he would have challenged him and led to the death of Mercutio despite everything else.
1) Tybalt is Juielt's cousin.
ReplyDelete2) Mercutio who is Romeo's friend is the one who killed Tybalt during a fight.
3) Yes, had Romeo explained the truth behind him attending the ball which was to run into Rosaline, then perhaps he could have prevented the fight from happening.
