Benvolio: “Mercutio and I were walking through town, when we saw Tybalt and some of the other Capulets coming. They walked up to us and they started to ask about Romeo and if he had decided about the challenge. Romeo was walking by when Tybalt confronted him about fighting. Romeo told him that he did not want to fight. In result, Mercutio agreed to battle Tybalt.”
Interviewer: “What happened during the battle?”
Benvolio: “Since Romeo didn’t want to battle, he tried to stop it. He got in between them and drew his sword to try to hit their’s to the ground. He was too late to stop the fight though. Tybalt reached around and stabbed Mercutio. This is when Tybalt left the scene.”

    Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo and started calling him a villain and other things like that. When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight. Tybalt says “No better term than this: thou art a villain.”(3.1.57-63) That is when Tybalt gives his reason he wants to fight Romeo. When Tybalt kills Mercutio that’s when Romeo loses it and that is the reason Juliet faked her death. And after Romeo finds out that’s when he wants to kill himself also. Tybalt had a very big impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…

    Unlike Mercutio and Tybalt, Benvolio extracts Romeo 's bad side. Although Romeo is peaceful, calm, and lawful, Benvolio proves Romeo is still capable of rage, anger, and ignores the law. He dose this by giving emphasis to Romeo 's bad characteristics through his extra peaceful, extra calm, and law obedient character. First, Benvolio accents Romeo 's rage through his extra peaceful character. For instance, Mercutio was an equal friend to Romeo as he was to Benvolio; Although, Benvolio did not fill with rage towards Tybalt, when he killed Mercutio, as Romeo did. By this Benvolio highlights Romeo 's rage with his extremely peaceful character. Likewise, Benvolio 's calm character brings out Romeo 's anger filled character. After killing Mercutio and disappearing, Tybalt comes back. In the time he was gone Romeo built up anger towards Tybalt. Upon seeing Tybalt he says: "Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, And fire-ey 'd fury be my conduct now!"� (III, i, 122-4) This would be considered a normal reaction; however, Benvolio did not react so strongly. By this he magnifies Romeo 's anger. Finally, Benvolio 's lawful character amplifies Romeo 's law breaking character. An example of this is when Benvolio says: "We talk here in public haunt of men: Either with draw unto some private place, Or reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us."� (III, i, 49-52) Benvolio remembers the prince 's words and warns that they should not fight in public. Even though he knows and was reminded of the new law, Romeo fights Tybalt anyway. Consequently Romeo 's action is magnified because Benvolio warned and obeyed the law. Hence, through his peaceful, calm, and lawful character, Benvolio magnifies rage, anger, and ignorance of law in Romeo 's…

    Shakespeare is forced to kill off Mercutio "lest he steal the show from the major figures of the plot". His brash attitude draws attention away from the problems of Romeo and Juliet. When Tybalt seeks Romeo in a public street, Mercutio challenges him to "couple [his words] with something" and "make it a word and a blow". His recklessness and quick response for something so dangerous is a demonstration of his preferences. However, as a kind of side effect, his preferences tend to pull the spotlight away from the main characters. Mercutio duels Tybalt when the swordplay is meant for Romeo.…

    Benvolio, who wanted everyone to be friends, warned the guys not to fight in public. Insults were exchanged, but Romeo remembered that Tybalt is his new wife's cousin, so he turned the other cheek. Mercutio found this totally shocking, actually dishonorable, so he offered to fight Tybalt instead. They fought and then Romeo tried to intervene, but Tybalt suddenly stabbed Mercutio. Romeo and Benvolio assumed that Mercutio has not been badly hurt because he started joking about his damage but it was no joke. He was dying. A minute later, he died. Romeo blamed himself for Mercutio's death. So, he decided to man up by challenging Tybalt to a duel. And then finished him by killed Tybalt. This quote showed that Tybalt is always looking for a fight and that he always thinks he is going to win anything no matter what. He is a coquie and a prideful person.

    It began with Mercutio and Tybalt almost jokingly fighting. Romeo, though, was worried and tried to end the fight, but instead inflicted more damage. When Romeo comes in between the two, Tybalt’s sword pierced Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm, delivering the blow that would cause the deaths of all of them. Mercutio said, “Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm.” (p. 231), and Romeo responded, “I thought all for the best”(p. 231). This incident, at least, was an accident. Tybalt had not intended to kill Mercutio, but Romeo messed them up by trying to pull Mercutio away. Romeo didn’t intend for him to be killed either, he was just attempting to stop the fighting. Because Mercutio died, Romeo was filled with anger, and in order to avenge Mercutio, decided to kill Tybalt, which led to his banishment. Romeo demanded that Tybalt duel him, saying “And fire-eyed fury be my conduct…
