Jul 31, 2015 · Romeo and his companions almost immediately encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who challenges Romeo. When Romeo refuses to fight, Romeo’s friend Mercutio accepts the challenge and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished.
Romeo reveals himself, agreeing to forsake the name Romeo if he can have her love. Juliet warns him that, as a Montague, he’ll be killed if he’s spotted with her, but Romeo doesn’t care. After much discussion, the two swear their love for each other and agree to be married.
Much more practical than he is, Juliet undercuts all his flowery phrases, and moves on to the subject of marriage. The Nurse calls for Juliet to come in, but she delays again and again, unwilling to let Romeo go and always finding new details to ask of him.
