Who takes Romeo's place in a fight and is mortally wounded in romeo and Juliet?

His name is Mercutio. Mercutio is a friend of Romeo's and a relative of the Prince's. He does not exactly take Romeo's place in a fight: Tybalt wants to have a fight with Romeo but Romeo refuses to fight him. Mercutio, who has been taunting Tybalt right along, thinks it a shame that there is to be no fight and is disappointed in Romeo for refusing to take part, so he challenges Tybalt himself.

Why won't romeo fight Tybalt when Tybalt challenges him?

Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt when Tybalt challenges him because Romeo is still love stricken after just coming back from his secret wedding to Juliet and is too overjoyed to express anything but love to those that he sees. Not only that, Tybalt is Juliet's kinsmen and I doubt Romeo would want to bring any harm to someone of relation to his only love and now secret wife, Juliet.

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.


Why has Tybalt sent a letter to Romeo's house in romeo and Juliet?
