Tybalt wants to confront Romeo because he feels insulted by Romeo's presence at the Capulet party. He sees Romeo as a Montague intruding on Capulet territory. Tybalt's pride and loyalty to his family drive him to seek revenge against Romeo.
Benvolio encourages Mercutio to stop fighting with Tybalt. He tries to restrain Tybalt without any success.
Benvolio tells Mercutio to retire because he senses a brewing confrontation between Mercutio and Tybalt, and wants to avoid any violence. Benvolio is concerned for their safety and tries to diffuse the situation by suggesting they leave.
This is in Act 3 Scene 1. It tells us that mercutio doesnt take benvolio's threat seriously. This is because it states "...when there is no need" which means that Mercutio is saying that there no need to be so serious about things. This coment makes Mercutio seem judgemental and quite courageous too.
Mercutio is looking for a fight anyway. He doesn't like Tybalt and sneers at him, calling him the "Prince of Cats". When Romeo does not respond to Tybalt's insults, Mercutio gets angry on Romeo's behalf, but it wasn't going to take much to get his sword out anyway.
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.
He wants to stop the fight because he knows he must not hurt Tybalt because he is now related to him, and Mercutio is his friend.
Benvolio, at the Prince's request, explains the two fatal swordfights.He tells the Prince that Romeo tried to talk Tybalt out of fighting and tried to make peace with Tybalt, and that Romeo reminded Tybalt that the Prince had forbidden fighting. He relates how Tybalt and Mercutio insisted on fighting, and how Romeo had knocked their swords away from each other with his arm and had rushed between them trying to stop the fight.He explains that Tybalt started the fight.
Mercutio starts the fight that ends with Romeo fleeing the city.
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.
because romeo dies and Juliet is eaten by a shark
heck no, they just think he wants to eat her out and tap that.....Juliet wants his d
A number of people do at various times. Benvolio does by trying to stop the fight in Act 1 and also the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. So does Romeo. Friar Lawrence does by thinking that marrying Romeo and Juliet will end the feud. The Prince does by banning street fights on pain of death. Even Capulet does by telling Tybalt to lay off Romeo at the party.
