Charlie Yu
May. 6th, 1597
On Tuesday afternoon, in a public place in Verona, Romeo challenged and killed Tybalt because of Mercutio died under Tybalt’s hand.
“It was very violent, Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight each other fiercely, lunging at one another and dodging each other’s blows. We cannot even go in and stop them, and Mercutio died.” Benvolio described. “Romeo was overcome with the desire for revenge. As quick as lightning, they started fighting. Before I could break up the fight, Tybalt was killed.”
Mercutio, a kinsman if the prince, and Romeo’s close friend. He has an intense attitude, he liked to challenge, liked to fight, but also does not like Capulets.
This made it all happen. When he was strolling in the public square and encountered Tybalt, the man was called the King of Cats; he was famous for his sword skills. Almost everyone is afraid to challenge him.
When they were about to fight, Romeo arrives and tries to stop them. Romeo is the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague; a young man about sixteen. However, the fight still happened. Mercutio was no match for Tybalt and died in the battle.
Romeo cannot endure his best friend being killed, and challenged Tybalt to fight. Romeo burst into anger and attacked furiously and crazily. Tybalt was unable to resist his insane attack and was killed by Romeo’s sword through his breast.
Romeo was exiled by the prince and will never come back again. This fight made 2 casualties. It was the most critical battle in this year. Both Montagues and Caplets lost one of their great man.
