In Romeo and Juliet who starts the fight?

Answer 1

There are four different fights in Romeo and Juliet: one in Act One, two in Act Three, and one in Act Five. Gregory and Samson start the one in Act One. Mercutio starts the first one in Act Three and Romeo starts the second, although he is reponding to a challenge which was earlier given to him, so in a sense Tybalt started it. The fight in Act Five is started by Paris.

Answer 2

The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets:

No one remembers how it started or who started it.

The fight in the beginning:

Montague and Capulet servants egg each other on. They both start it.

The fight where Mercutio and Tybalt die:

Tybalt started the fight.

The argument between Juliet and her father:

Juliet started the fight by refusing to obey her parents' wishes.

Answer 3

There are three fights in Romeo and Juliet: one in Act 1, one in Act 3, and one in Act 5. All three are started by the Capulets, or rather by people who are not Capulets themselves but consider themselves to be in the Capulets' camp, and who start fights with Montagues just because.

1. The fight in Act 1 is started by Samson and Gregory, who are not Capulets but rather two Capulet servants who start a fight with some Montague servants just because they outnumber them..
2. The fight in Act 2 is started by Tybalt, who is not a Capulet but rather Mrs. Capulet's brother's son. He is determined to have a fight with Romeo, just because he is a Montague and he came to the Capulet party. (Tybalt ignores the fact that Capulet was OK with Romeo being at the party, and seeing that it was Capulet's house, it was none of Tybalt's business) When Romeo won't fight, Tybalt goes after Mercutio instead.
3. The fight in Act 3 is started by Paris, who is not a Capulet, but is the guy Capulet was trying to set up with Juliet. He sees Romeo in the graveyard, and assumes that he is there to desecrate some Capulet graves, just because he is a Montague.
