Mercutio Is To Blame For The Death Of Romeo And Juliet

In Willam Shakespear’s “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” Mercutio and Tybalt are the main cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” is about the tragic love of two young men and women that ends in death. In addition to the banishment of Romeo, the feud between two households was fueled by the action of Mercutio and Tybalt. Mercutio, Romeo’s close friend, provoked Tybalt to the duel, which ultimately led to his own death. In revenge, Romeo killed Tybalt, causing more feud between two households. But some people think large factors such as a long standing feud between two families is the main cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. While Mercutio and Tybalt’s duel certainly fueled feud between two families and had an impact

They think there will be another fight or event even if Tybalt and Mercutio didn’t fight because feud between two families had existed for generations. There are three quotes and explanations why some people believe that. "Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." - Prologue, lines 1-4. In the opening of the play, the chorus introduces the feud between Montagues and Capulets as the central conflict of the story. The "ancient grudge" between the families has led to ongoing violence and bloodshed. "For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo." - Act 5, Scene 3 These lines are spoken by the Prince after he discovers the bodies of Romeo and Juliet.

The fact that the two families are able to reconcile only after the deaths of their children highlights the senselessness of the feud. Feud between two families played a role in the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but can be

The assumption of ‘what if~’ is meaningless after events happened, and what is certain is that the duel between Mercutio and Tybalt caused Romeo’s banishment."What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee." - Act 1, Scene 1In this quote, Tybalt is expressing his hatred for the Montagues and his desire for violence. He is essentially provoking Romeo and his friends, which leads to the brawl in which Mercutio is killed. "And for that offense immediately we do exile him hence." - Act 3, Scene 1 After Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge for Mercutio's death, the Prince of Verona banishes Romeo from the city. This sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet. If Tybalt had not provoked the fight, Romeo would not have been banished and the tragic ending could have been avoided. "O calm, dishonourable, vile submission!" - Act 3, Scene 1 In this quote, Mercutio is criticizing Romeo for his reluctance to fight Tybalt. Mercutio's taunting leads Romeo to finally engage in the fight, which ultimately results in Mercutio's death.
