Prince, you have to take revenge. You have to kill someone from the Montague family. Angrily, LC.

The Prince

Ben, who started this fight?

Benvolio

Tybalt did. Romeo tried to talk him down, but Tybalt stabbed Mercutio.

Something snapped in Romeo. He killed Tybalt too.

I tried to break it up, but it was no use!

Lady Capulet

Ben is a Montague. He’s lying. The Montagues jumped Tybalt and killed him. Prince, you know that Romeo must die. Grr, LC.

The Prince

So if Romeo killed Tybalt, and Tybalt killed Mercutio, then who should pay for Mercutio’s life?

Montague

Not Romeo. He was only avenging his friend.

The Prince

Then I have no choice but to kick Romeo out of Verona. And now you’ve gotten me involved in your rivalry.

Mercutio was my family. I’ll punish you all for this. There’s no use or begging. Tell Romeo to leave immediately or else he’ll be joining Mercutio and Tybalt…in the grave.
