Similarities Between Romeo And Juliet
Dusk of July 1st another brutal brawl between the feuding families of the Capulet and Montague unfolded on the streets of Verona. Tybalt Capulet and Mercutio Escalus were found dead. Since their deaths, Romeo the son of Montague has been banished. When both households came to know, they were filled with anger and grief and swore revenge against each other. On Tuesday the 1st of July at noon, an 18-year-old named Mercutio - a close companion of Romeo Montague- was stabbed with a 67 cm sword in his chest, by 25-year-old Tybalt Capulet. Romeo Montague was enraged. He fought Tybalt and killed him in a duel. He stabbed Tybalt several times all over his body with a 16cm dagger. In an interview with Benvolio Montague, an eyewitness at the scene says; “ Tybalt wanted to fight so he taunted Romeo to do so. Romeo refused to fight. I am unsure why Romeo didn’t fight with Tybalt, he was instead trying to be at peace with him. But Mercutio felt honour-bound to stand up for Romeo and fight. Romeo tried to stop the fight but failed, Tybalt stabbed Mercutio under Romeo’s arm and ran away from the scene."

A bystander at the scene has reported that shortly after Mercutio’s death, Tybalt returned for an unknown reason.
The bystander has stated that Romeo was furious and swore revenge against Tybalt. Romeo then grabbed his dagger and stabbed Tybalt several times all over his
body. The Prince of Verona sent out a statement today saying, “This time, two young men are dead and one of them is my cousin, Mercutio. This is all because of the brutal rivalry between the Capulets and Montagues. Our authorities came to know that Tybalt started the fight and killed Mercutio, therefore, Romeo killed Tybalt. Tybalt has paid his price and now there are serious circumstances for Romeo. I sentence Romeo Montague to be banished. I want him out of Verona by sunrise tomorrow, if this is not done Romeo will be executed.” The Capulets are reported to be threatening vengeance. They have asked for more action to be taken against Romeo Montague as their only nephew had passed away. There are speculations why the fight started. The reason being the annual masquerade ball by the Capulets crashed by Romeo Montague. A member present at the ball overheard Tybalt Capulet swearing revenge against Romeo. The rivalry between the families has lasted too long. A man by the name of Friar Lawrence was heard saying, “How long am I going to live to witness conflict from these two families?”
The feud between the Capulets and the Montagues has lasted a long time. Even Mercutio Escalus last words were, “I wish a plague on you two families.” Could this family feud spill more blood?
