Forbid this bandy in Verona streets. Hold Tybalt! Good Mercutio. [Tybalt under, Romeo's arm thrusts Mercutio in, and flies]” (Shakespeare 63).

Juliet could have told the nurse about her and Romeo's relationship.

Romeo and Juliet went to fast in their relationship. “ They move not while my prayer's effect i take. Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purged.[kisses her]” (Shakespeare 30).

Wherefore art thou Romeo?deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and i'll no longer be a Capulet” (Shakespeare 37). Just because Romeo sat under a tree by Juliet's window doesn't mean that it was destiny for him to hear Juliet say what she had to say about him. That why it was individual choice not
