Mercutio had every intention of fighting with the Capulets and especially with Tybalt long before Romeo shows up. "Couple it with something--make it a word and a blow" is about as provocative as you can get. He's looking for a fight but Tybalt is only interested in Romeo. Romeo does not need defending (although in the 1996 movie it's played that way) from a physical assault by Tybalt. Mercutio may be making like he's defending Romeo's honour but he's really satisfying his own desire to fight with Tybalt. Romeo knows full well that his honour is best served by not fighting with his kinsmen (which since his marriage includes Tybalt) and he does not need help. Mercutio was wrong to get involved.

Who should be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet in 200 words?
In my opinion, Friar Lawrence is guilty for Romeo and Juliet's death. I think he is guilty because he married Romeo and Juliet. He gave Juliet the potion, and because he didn't get the message to Romeo, I think that he should have met up with Romeo on the outside of Capulet's tomb. Or maybe he could of gone to Mantua and met with Romeo face to face.
