Answer:
CAN I HAVE BRAINLIEST FOR THIS
Explanation:
Act 3 opens with Mercutio and Benvolio walking as usual around the town. Benvolio's
keen instinct is telling him that a brawl could erupt in the street at any moment, and he
warns Mercutio that they should go home at once. Mercutio is not as peace loving as
his dear friend and chastises Benvolio for even suggesting that they cower inside. To
aggravate Benvolio, Mercutio cites nonsensical examples of fights Benvolio has
participated in -- one with a man cracking nuts, another with a man who tied his new
shoes with 'old riband'. Benvolio sees the Capulets coming and knows a confrontation is
inevitable. Tybalt demands to see Romeo so that he can slay him with his ever-ready
rapier. Mercutio confronts Tybalt, but, because Mercutio is not a Capulet, Tybalt
brushes him aside and moves straight toward Romeo who has just come upon the
scene. Romeo, now related to Tybalt, refuses to fight. He cannot reveal why he does
not defend his honour, but suggests that they should stop the bitter feud and embrace
each other once and for all:
I do protest, I never injured thee,
But love thee better than thou canst devise
Till thou shalt know the true reason of my love;
And so, good Capulet,-- which name I tender
As dearly as mine own,-- be satisfied (3.1.70-4).
Mercutio cannot stand by and watch Romeo stand down like a common coward. He
draws his sword and challenges Tybalt. Romeo tries to stop the fight but to no avail --
Tybalt fatally wounds Mercutio. He dies cursing both families, "a plague on both your
houses/They have made worms meat of me" (3.1.91-2), despite the fact that his own
intemperance has caused his death. Romeo is crushed by the knowledge that Mercutio
has lost his life for him, and he draws his sword, attacking Tybalt with ferocity. Tybalt is
no match for the skilled and enraged Romeo, and he falls dead to the ground. Romeo
stands over Tybalt and all the consequences of his actions flood his mind. By the
Prince's decree, Romeo will be executed for disobeying the peace, thus leaving Juliet a
widow. And he has betrayed his new bride by killing her beloved cousin. The Prince, the
Capulets, and Montague happen upon the tragic scene and Benvolio tries his best to
explain why Romeo was forced to kill Tybalt. Because Romeo has slain the instigator of
the violence and the murderer of Mercutio, the Prince decides that Romeo should not
be executed but banished from Verona instead. If Romeo ever returns, Prince Escalus
cautions, he will certainly be killed.
