Tybalt's and Mercutio's Deaths and Romeo's Future

The scene begins with when Tybalt comes and wants to duel Romeo, but Romeo decides to not duel him, but instead comments "I love you" to Tybalt, his "enemy", because he doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Juliet. His comment infuriates Tybalt because he doesn't realize Romeo and Juliet are in love and he tried to make Romeo fight, but he wouldn't. Mercutio decides to fight for Romeo because he thinks Romeo is being a wimp. During the fight, Romeo tried to stop the fight, but he ended up failing and Mercutio gets slayed by Tybalt's sword. Mercutio, in his last moments makes puns about his death and finding a grave later on and curses both of their houses. The next thing that happens, Romeo becomes enraged and slays Tybalt with his sword. Moments later, Romeo flees the scene and believes he is a unlucky person. After, the Prince arrives and asks what happened, and then the Capulet's and Montague's meet up to resolve the situation. The Prince decides to exile Romeo, and this causes Romeo to be really sad because he can't see Juliet. He would rather die than be exiled, but Friar Laurence devises a plan for him to get them reunited. During this time, Paris visits the Capulet's to plan the marriage, but sees their grieving and shows sympathy towards them. Lord Capulet, decides to move the marriage day a day later without Juliet's consent.
