In this excerpt from act II, scene IV, of Romeo and Juliet, what is the main idea? BENVOLIO: Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet,

Hath sent a letter to his father's house. MERCUTIO: A challenge, on my life. BENVOLIO: Romeo will answer it. MERCUTIO: Any man that can write may answer a letter. BENVOLIO: Nay, he will answer the letter's master, how he dares, being dared. MERCUTIO: Alas poor Romeo! he is already dead; stabbed with a white wench's black eye; shot through the ear with a love-song; the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt-shaft: and is he a man to encounter Tybalt? Mercutio believes Romeo is too preoccupied with girls and romance to fight Tybalt. Mercutio believes that Romeo doesn’t have the physical strength to fight Tybalt. Mercutio believes that Tybalt’s letter is only a threat and the actual fight won’t happen. Mercutio believes that Romeo will try to convince Tybalt not to resort to violence.

How would you convince someone that the concept of “fairness” is an important one
Mariana [72]
Although “fairness” is not a well known or well justified concept in this day and age, it is an incredibly important one. If things weren’t “fair” then convicted felons/murderers would never be caught. Abusive men or women would never be punished for hurting their significant other. Children in foster care or orphanages would never find proper homes. If things weren’t at least the slightest bit fair then nothing would ever work in the favor of your or the next person.
