He puts himself between them, probably facing Mercutio, who is his friend and whom he wishes to protect. Tybalt, however, stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm. Oops. But never mind, it gives Mercutio a chance to make one of the most quotedspeeches in world Literature.

∙ 14y agohe cannot kill Tybalt so that Mercutio will not be murdered by him, but he cannot sit there and let his close friend die. he cant help Mercutio because if he kills Tybalt, he is afraid Juliet will hate him, if not Mercutio dies. in the end Tybalt kills Mercutio unintentionally when he was aiming for romeo, then romeo is infuriated and kills Tybalt. and yet Juliet acts as if romeo was not the one who killed him because she loves him so much.

What is Benvolios version of the fight?
He says that Tybalt came after Romeo but Romeo "spoke him fair", so he then went after Mercutio, and killed him when Romeo was trying to restrain him. He says Tybalt then fled, "but by and by comes back to Romeo" whereupon Romeo killed him, Benvolio being unable to prevent it. This is mostly true, although he withholds the fact that Mercutio went out of his way to start a fight with Tybalt, who had no interest in fighting him. What Tybalt would have done to Romeo had Mercutio not been there is a director's call. The play is clear that in fact Tybalt did seek Romeo out after Mercutio's death, so Romeo was acting in self-defence in fighting him. Tybalt re-enters and Benvolio says "Here comes the furious Tybalt back again." In most movie versions, it is Romeo who chases after Tybalt, which would make this part of Benvolio's account of the fight inaccurate also.
How was mercutio killed?
Tybalt actually did it in a kind of accident, he didn't see where his blade was going. Mercutio only died because he couldn't see Tybalt's blade because Romeo had jumped in between them to stop the fight. +Romeo jumps in the way. +Tybalt wants to keep fighting, so he thrusts his rapier in the gap between Romeo's arm and body. +Mercutio nor Tybalt saw the rapier, until it was too late and the rapier landed square in his chest.
In Romeo and Juliet trace the sequence of events that begins with Tybalt's insult to Romeo and ends with Tybalt's death and Romeo's banishment?
Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt. Mercutio steps in for Romeo and fights Tybalt. Romeo steps between them, trying to stop the fight. Tybalt stabs Mercutio. Mercutio curses both the Capulets and Montagues. Mercutio dies. Romeo is enraged and decides to fight Tybalt. Romeo kills Tybalt, then he runs. Prince Escalus comes to the scene. He announces Romeo's banishment.
What does it mean when Tybalt says Mercutio thou consortest with romeo?
Mercutio has no quarrel with Mercutio. He's looking for Romeo. He starts by greeting Mercutio and Benvolio very politely "Gentlemen, good-den. A word with one of you." What he wants is to find out where Romeo is so he can fight him. He starts by saying "Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo". A "consort" is a companion, a friend, one who goes along with you; to consort with someone is to be their friend and companion, to go along with them. Tybalt's next line would be "Can you tell me where he is?" Because Mercutio is in an obnoxious mood, he manages to turn this perfectly polite statement into an insult, then to make a punning threat based on it. By the time he's done, Romeo has shown up, so Tybalt does not have to deal any further with Mercutio. He says, with great relief no doubt, "Well, peace be with you sir. Here comes my man." But Mercutio is not done with Tybalt. Not liking Romeo's placating responses to Tybalt's attempts to get him into a fight, Mercutio bursts in and calls Tybalt a "ratcatcher". Tybalt again replies politely: "What would you have with me." He only draws in response to Mercutio pulling out his own sword. What all this shows is that Mercutio goes way out of his way to provoke Tybalt into a fight he didn't want. Then when it turns out badly for him, he blames Romeo. A plague on Mercutio's house!
What does Tybalt think benvolio is doing in the beginning of the story?
In Act I Scene 1, Tybalt comes across Benvolio with his sword drawn in the middle of the fight. Naturally he assumes that Benvolio is taking part in the fight, so he says. "What! Art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?"

Who is calling a plague down on both the Montagues and the Capulets because their feud has led to his death?
Mercutio: "A plague on both your houses." Although to be honest he is the one who insisted on fighting with Tybalt--Tybalt did not want to fight with him at first ("Peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.") and Romeo and Benvolio were going out of their way to stop the fight.

Write about the fight between mercuito and Tybalt. How does it start Who dies and what does Romeo try to do Who dies and how?
In the fight between mercuito and Tybalt: Tybalt comes into the court place and mercutio starts egging him on. Pretty soon they start fighting but its not a serious fight. Tybalt is really waiting to kill romeo because he is mad at him for going to the capulets party. Then romeo shows up and he doesnt want to kill Tybalt bc he is now married to Juliet and they are technicaly cousins. Tybalt doesnt know this and he is still fighting mercutio. Then romeo interferes to stop the fight but Tybalt accidentaly stabs mercutio when romeo gets in the way which kills mercutio. Then romeo goes to avenge mercutio and he ends of stabbing Tybalt, who then dies. Then romeo is banished to mantua by the prince.
Does Romeo fight Tybalt?
Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel. But Romeo refuses. Mercutio is horrified at what he thinks is Romeo's cowardice, and challenges Tybalt to a duel on Romeo's behalf. Romeo tries to break up the fight, and Mercutio is killed. Tybalt meanwhile has run away. Tybalt comes back (we are not told why) and Romeo attacks him. Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo is now technically guilty of murder, and must leave Verona immediately. 'Oh I am Fortune's fool.' he shouts.
How does she justify his murdering Tybalt?
You mean, "How does he justify his murdering Tybalt?" The only person who offers a justification for Romeo's actions is Benvolio, who argues that in killing Tybalt Romeo was only carrying out the law, since Tybalt had committed a capital crime in killing Mercutio. Juliet does not attempt to justify Romeo's actions, since she does not know the details anyway. She does feel she has to make a choice between loyalty to family and loyalty to her husband and she comes down firmly on the side of her husband.
Is mercutio a essential part to the story Romeo and Juliet?
Yes. In Act III something must happen to separate Romeo and Juliet, which is the decree of banishment upon Romeo. The reason for the decree of banishment is the killing of Tybalt by Romeo. But it does not make dramatic sense that Romeo would kill Tybalt immediately after becoming his cousin unless there were some powerful emotional motive. This is where Mercutio comes in. If Tybalt kills one of Romeo's best friends, and Romeo feels himself to be guilty of that death because of his inaction (inaction in itself caused by his desire to keep peace with his Capulet relations) that guilt will overcome his reluctance to fight with Tybalt. It wouldn't be Benvolio, who is a peacemaker and would have avoided a fight with Tybalt if at all possible; it has to be Mercutio, who is happy to pick a fight with Tybalt, who he doesn't like much anyway.
Why do Tybalt and Romeo fight?
Mercutio forces the fight on Tybalt. Tybalt is really only interested in Romeo, but Romeo is not disposed to quarrel with his wife's cousin. Mercutio takes up the quarrel on Romeo's behalf for no reason other than that he is quarrelsome. Mercutio and Tybalt fought because Tybalt had challenged Romeo to a fight but Mercutio knew that Romeo was not strong enough to fight Tybalt so Mercutio took the burden of fighting Tybalt and eventually dies when he is stabbed by Tybalt under Romeo's arm. Romeo had ran out to block the fight and Mercutio got stabbed. Tybalt leaves, and then returns clearly angry. He is then slain by Romeo and the Prince, Montague, and Capulet and Lady Capulet come out. Romeo exits, and Romeo is banished.
