Write about the fight between mercuito and Tybalt. How does it start Who dies and what does Romeo try to do Who dies and how?

In the fight between mercuito and Tybalt: Tybalt comes into the court place and mercutio starts egging him on. Pretty soon they start fighting but its not a serious fight.

What happens when Tybalt and Mercutio fight?

When Tybalt and Mercutio fight, romeo trys to defend Mercutio but ends up having him killed. Mercutio dies from Tybalt bringing the sword from under Romeo and stabbing Mercutio.


Why does mercutio decide to fight Tybalt and save romeo?

Mercutio does not "save Romeo" in the play by fighting Tybalt. Tybalt is about to walk away in contempt of the coward Romeo who will not fight him, and Mercutio gets involved, ostensibly to save Romeo's honour but basically just to get into a scrap. In the 1996 Baz Luhrman movie, the director has Tybalt beating Romeo when he will not fight, which does prompt Mercutio to join the fight. In that version Mercutio thinks that Tybalt will kill Romeo and that he needs to intervene to save his life. It's a more flattering read for Mercutio than what Shakespeare wrote.
