Best Answer

Because if he is banished then him and Juliet still know he's alive. If he was dead Juliet could get over his death and move on. She can't do that if he's banished.

After killing Tybalt and being banished, Romeo gets all emo and whiny, but the friar gets mad at him and tells him that he should be thankful for his good luck.

What does Banishment mean in Romeo and Juliet?

The best way to answer this question is by examining the text from Romeo's monologue to Friar Lawerance.At first Romeo reasons that there is no life for him outside of Verona. In his words, there is only "purgatory, torture, hell itself". Thus he reasons that exile is essentially a death sentence, just a more torturous one.Romeo then expands on why there is no life for him outside of Verona. He explains that everything which lives in Verona may look upon and revel, in Juliet's presence. Romeo explains that he is no longer free to do so, and knowing that would make every moment of the rest of his life a living hell.Simply put; Romeo feels that he would rather die, than live the remainer of his life without Juliet. An example of how true and pure the bond between Romeo and Juliet is.


Why did prince order Romeo's exile and not his death?

Montague, who acts as Romeo's advocate at the trial, argues that Tybalt had already broken the law and incurred the death penalty by killing Mercutio. Romeo was therefore only carrying out the law by punishing Tybalt. "His fault concludes but what the law should end, the life of Tybalt." The Prince has no desire to encourage vigilante justice, so he does not acquit Romeo on this plea, but only reduces his sentence from death to banishment

There was miscommunication in "Romeo and Juliet" when Romeo didn't receive Friar Laurence's message explaining Juliet's plan to feign her death.

Why does romeo say that he pays the apothecary's poverty and not his will?

Because the apothecary said that he would sell the poison to Romeo only because he needed the money so badly (selling poison is illegal in Mantua). Therefore, the apothecary's poverty (state/situation) is forcing him to take Romeo's offer, not because he wants to disobey the law. Romeo is paying the apothecary's need, not his want.


What does Romeo do to Tybalt?

In Romeo and Juliet, the prince banishes Romeo from Verona to the neighboring land of Mantua. The prince banishes Romeo because he kills Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) out of his rage for Tybalt killing his friend Mercutio in a brawl. Romeo is not sentenced to death by the prince, because he killed Tybalt only to avenge his friend's death. Also, the prince only exiles Romeo, so that there is a fair sentence that can appease both the Capulets and Montagues.
