In Act 3, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is faced with several moral questions that relate to the themes of the play.

On the one hand, Romeo does not want to fight against Tybalt because he is a Capulet. As Romeo married Juliet in secret, he considers Tybalt his family now. This touches on the themes of family and love. However, Romeo wants to defend Mercutio, and later on avenge his death. This addresses the subject of loyalty.
