The Montagues and Capulets have a long-standing grudge. Nobody really knows how the grudge started. Tybalt had sent a letter to Lord Montague’s house asking for a challenge. All Tybalt wanted was to fight Romeo.

I wanted Mercutio to leave the streets because it is hot and if we meet, we can’t avoid a brawl. Mercutio wouldn’t leave the streets because he didn’t want to be seen as weak.
