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.

How could wisdom and knowledge be gained through a tragic experience?

In Romeo and Juliet, wisdom and knowledge was gained by the two families because of their children's death. So you see, a tragic experience (the death of Romeo and Juliet), helped the two families to gain wisdom and knowledge (to get over the feud that the two families had).


Did Romeo and Juliet have any control over the differences that separated them and led to their tragic end?

No, Romeo and Juliet didn't really have any control over their tragic end. Their families had been fighting for centuries and most people didn't even remember what they were feuding over. And after Tybalt, Juliet's questionable cousin, and Romeo fought over Mercutio's death, it could only lead to more death and disaster. Technically speaking, though, Romeo could have controlled his anger when he witnessed Mercutio being killed by Tybalt, or Romeo could have stayed out of the Capulet ball (where he met Juliet). No one can really blame Romeo for being angry about his best friend's death, though. The only way they could have escaped their tragic end was really to not let the entire play happen, and Romeo stayed out of Capulet affairs and Capulet ball.
