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. When Tybalt arrived all he wanted to do was to fight Romeo. Mercutio was offended because Romeo didn’t want to fight Tybalt and that would only make Romeo seem weak. Tybalt didn’t want to fight Mercutio because this fight was only supposed to be with Romeo. Tybalt ended up fighting Mercutio because Mercutio was insulting him. Romeo tried stopping this fight by saying that you had specifically banned brawling in Verona’s street. Romeo didn’t want to get in trouble but sadly Tybalt wouldn’t listen. Tybalt stabbed Mercutio while Mercutio was shielded by Romeo.

Romeo and Tybalt were fighting furiously and Romeo stabs Tybalt and he falls dead. I told Romeo to get out of Verona because I was afraid you would take his life.
In my opinion I think that Tybalt is most to blame because he is the one who started all of this. No one would be dead if he didn’t start fighting with Mercutio. I think that Romeo shouldn’t be killed for avenging his cousin but he should receive a punishment for killing
