Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel but Romeo refuses. Mercutio fights for him and when Romeo goes to break up the fight, Tybalt stabs Mercutio and kills him. But Mercutio Doesn't die straight away, Benvoilio carries him to a house while Mercutio is shouting 'A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES!!' after that he dies.
