How does Mercutio treat Tybalt when they meet? Mercutio insults Tybalt and tries to get him angry.
Why does Romeo refuse to fight Tybalt? Because he loves Juliet and he knows that he is not a villain and Tybalt is family now because he is married to Juliet and Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin.
What happens when Romeo tries to stop the fight? Romeo orders the men to stop, then reaches between the two and tries to separate them. As he does so, Tybalt sweeps his sword under Romeo’s arm and stabs Mercutio. Mercutio, who is unable to defend himself, is mortally wounded.

What literary device does the writer use in lines (3.2.75-87)? Oxymoron
What information about Juliet’s emotions is Shakespeare conveying to the reader by using the oxymoron? Juliet is feeling tricked that her husband Romeo could do such a horrible act. She feels that she has been blind sided by Romeo.
How do you know? Explain using details from the text? In the text Juliet says, “Oh how can he hide such as evil heart with such a beautiful face?” This shows that Juliet doesn’t understand how Romeo could do such a horrible act she didn’t think he was capable of it.
Why was Friar frustrated with Romeo? Friar doesn’t understand why Romeo is so upset, the prince could have been more harsh with the punishment. He reminds Romeo that Juliet is alive and he is fortunate that Tybalt did not kill him. The law said he could have died for killing Tybalt, but instead he is exiled.
What is the Friar’s “pain” to help Romeo deal with banishment? He tells Romeo to say goodbye to Juliet, but leave before the night guards come. Once things settle down, Friar will tell the town about the marriage. He will ask for Prince’s forgiveness that Romeo was only doing what the law told him to do Friar will ask for Romeo to return. Friar will keep Romeo updated by sending his servant to Mantua.
How does the plan give Romeo hope for the future? It shows Romeo that once things settle down he will be able to return and everything will go bark to normal.
Evaluate the effectiveness of this “plan”. Please look at what the word evaluate means below? I think this a good plan. The town needs time to digest what happen and after a few days Friar will let everyone know of the marriage. The Prince should understand that Romeo did not do anything wrong, he was following the law.
Juliet says, “There was a word, worse than Tybalt’s death, that murdered me?” The word she fears is “banished” or “exile”. To Juliet the word means that Romeo is gone forever, and she has lost everything.

He must leave her room before daybreak.Romeo must escape to Mantua where he will be safe.Later, Romeo and Juliet will announce their marriage, ask the Prince for forgiveness, and the families will be reconciled.
Why then does Capulet now agree to Paris’ request without Juliet’s approval? Juliet’s father believes that his daughter loves him and will obey his wishes. He is also sure that he has given full consideration to Juliet’s happiness in choosing her husband.
This day is Monday. Paris will wed Juliet on Thursday
Why Romeo and Juliet would rather hear the nightingale sing than the lark? The nightingale represents night, and the lark represents morning. The lovers must part when down arrives, or Romeo will be killed. Therefore, neither Romeo nor Juliet wants to hear the lark song.
What does Juliet see that frightens her? Juliet sees Romeo lying dead in the bottom of a tomb.
