Who started the fight in Romeo and Juliet act 3 scene 1?

Tybalt tries to start a fight with Romeo earlier in 3,1 but Romeo refuses to be drawn in. After Mercutio is fatally wounded, Tybalt is hustled away by his friends. He returns after Mercutio's death and before he has a chance to say anything, Romeo says, "Now Tybalt, take the "villain back again that late thou gavest me."

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.

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."

How did Tybalt insult romeo and try to get him to fight him?

Romeo does not want to fight Tybalt because he has just married Tybalt's cousin Juliet. So this means they are related and Romeo does not want to harm him. Also to start a fight with a Capulet (because Romeo is a Montague) would have Romeo banished. Romeo does not want to be banished or upset his wife, Juliet, by killing her cousin.


Why Was Tybalt And Mercutio Fighting In The Play Romeo And Juliet?

The Capulet and Montegue feud for short. There may been some book evidence that it was over romeo spicifaclly, but over all it was the two families' fued. Except, of course, that Tybalt was not a Capulet (although he was related to one) and Mercutio was not even related to the Montagues. No, Tybalt had taken it upon himself to be the champion of the Capulets (even though the head of the family told him to knock it off). He decided to take offence at Romeo and had challenged him to a duel. But Romeo did not want to fight him, because Tybalt was related to Juliet. Mercutio then stepped in and challenged Tybalt to a duel, which Tybalt accepted. There was no reason for these two to be fighting except that they were quarrelsome.
