Mercutio and Romeo are best friends, and it seems like Romeo could never help but want to argue light-heartedly with him, even when he's upset in act 1, scene 4.

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.

So they decide to go. Everyone will be wearing masks so no-one will recognise him. Tybalt finds out that they are there but Lord Capulet tells Tybalt not to start a fight since Romeo hasn't caused any trouble.

What could have romeo have done differently to avoid their tragic end?

Well, if Romeo had never let Tybalt find out he was at he party (he was the only one seen by Tybalt), Tybalt would never have challenged Romeo to a fight, and the whole street brawl would never have happened. If Romeo had answered Tybalt's challenge, Mercutio wouldn't have died protecting his honor. If Romeo had so much as asked why Tybalt insulted him like that, Mercutio wouldn't have felt the need to defend his friend's honor. Then there's always not stepping in the damned fight and just let Mercutio get his anger out...So all in all, it's pretty much Romeo's fault Mercutio had died.

Tybalt accosts Romeo, insulting his masculinity. Romeo responds with courtesy and humility because he had just come from marrying Juliet. Romeo's friends cannot believe that Romeo is bearing the insults, not knowing the reason for his passivity.
