Juliet thought she saw Tybalt's ghost trying to kill Romeo, so she threw away her fears of drinking the sleeping potion. She drank it so Romeo could come and take her away. If Romeo was with her, she could save him from Tybalt's ghost.

The lines (from Act 4 scene 3) are:

"O, look! Methinks I see my cousin's ghost

Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body

Upon a rapier's point. Stay, Tybalt, stay!

Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee."

Doing the story Remeo and Juliet why does remeo kill Tybalt?

Romeo kills Tybalt (Juliets cousin, a Capulet) to revenge Mercutio's death, as Tybalt stabbed him. Mercutio was a Montague and jumped in the way of Tybalts sword to defend Romeo, who wanted peace from Tybalt as he had already secretly married Juliet. Romeo is then banished by the prince and the rest of the play goes on. Basically, Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge.


What Does Tybalt Do That Dangerous?

Tybalt is important because he is the foundation of the story; without him there probably wouldn't be a story. If Tybalt hadn't have fought Mercutio and killed him, Romeo wouldn't have killed Tybalt in return, and therefore wouldn't have been banished. If Romeo wasn't banished, he would be able to stay with Romeo and Juliet and they would not have died in the end. So you see, it is like the domino effect.


Who does juliet think is dead?

Is mercutio a essential part to the story Romeo and Juliet?

Yes. In Act III something must happen to separate Romeo and Juliet, which is the decree of banishment upon Romeo. The reason for the decree of banishment is the killing of Tybalt by Romeo. But it does not make dramatic sense that Romeo would kill Tybalt immediately after becoming his cousin unless there were some powerful emotional motive. This is where Mercutio comes in. If Tybalt kills one of Romeo's best friends, and Romeo feels himself to be guilty of that death because of his inaction (inaction in itself caused by his desire to keep peace with his Capulet relations) that guilt will overcome his reluctance to fight with Tybalt. It wouldn't be Benvolio, who is a peacemaker and would have avoided a fight with Tybalt if at all possible; it has to be Mercutio, who is happy to pick a fight with Tybalt, who he doesn't like much anyway.

Who are the main character in Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo and Juliet, obviously, are the main characters.Other characters essential to the story are Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, Tybalt and Capulet. Not Benvolio, or even the Nurse.Here's the story as compact as you can get it: Romeo meets Juliet at a party. Tybalt objects to his presence but is prevented from doing anything at that time. Romeo and Juliet pledge their love to each other and Friar Lawrence marries them secretly. Later, Tybalt finds Romeo with Mercutio. Romeo is unwilling to fight Tybalt and Mercutio takes the mickey for him. Romeo is incensed and kills Tybalt. He then (or shortly thereafter) flees as he is wanted by the law. Capulet insists that Juliet should marry another man, and she seeks the friar's advice. She fakes her death, and Romeo returns to complete the suicide scene at the end.RomeoJulietMercutioBenvolioNurseFriar LawrenceTybaltMain Charcters; Romeo, Juliet, Lady Capulet, Capulet, Tybalt, Friar Lawrence.
