What a humid day! I was here in town again, trying to get my luck on having a wonderful day unlike the previous time when the fight between the two families occurred.


Then I noticed that both the families were in town too! "Oh gosh! I hope that nothing bad will happen like the last time," I thought to myself while smiling and waving to people who may have thought I was weird.
Feeling rubber-necked and trying to avoid getting into any fight, I hid in a nearby shop - again.


Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, and Mercutio, Romeo's friend, were walking down the streets of Verona.
I could see the sun rays burning down on them with their sweat congesting their faces which didn't seem to look 'fresh and clean' anymore.

Not wanting to be noticed of 'stalking' the young men, I could not really hear what they were talking about but noticed that they were deciding on whether to fight with the Capulets or not from the way their fiery eyes looked at them.

Our dear Tybalt walked towards the Montagues along with Sampson and Gregory, the foolish and childish servants who started the fight last time. I could see Benvolio being afraid of what would happen to the outcome of the two families meeting face-to-face once again but it seemed to me Mercutio was delighted to see them.

Strangely, Tybalt did not look for a fight with them when he topped the list on 'Who loves to fight the most' on my category. However, Mercutio, looking a bit dumb, took out his sword and happily wanted a fight with Tybalt - I knew this was coming, when Capulets and Montagues come together, sorry, they will never be together but the Capulets and Montagues are like North Pole, with North Pole, they will rebel again and again no matter what.

Did I just see what I saw?! Our dear Tybalt still declined on fighting with Mercutio! Am I dreaming? Has Tybalt finally calmed his nerves down? Oh no, wait, here comes Romeo my dear Juliet's husband. Tybalt seems to be firing up already.

Tybalt was furious to see Romeo that his greeting to him was, "Romeo, my heart is filled with hate when I see you." Then, I realised, the reason for Tybalt talking to the Mercutio's was to find Romeo and fight with him. Please do not fight.

As Romeo is now Juliet's husband and considered Tybalt's cousin, he loved Tybalt and did not want anything related to a fight. Whereas for Tybalt, he does not know this and his hatred for Romeo will continue like eternal flame. Thus, he still insisted on a fight.

Mercutio being there to see what happened, got even more furious that a Montague, weakly declined a fight towards their worst and only enemy. He could not take it in any longer and started to fight. Obviously, Tybalt fought back too - like he always does.

Romeo, being the actual peace maker, attempted to stop them by asking them to not fight in the open streets of Verona. He bravely got into the middle of the two and put his arms up to try to stop the unwanted fight but Tybalt managed to drive his sword into Mercutio. Mercutio was seriously injured that he passed away real soon. Before he did, he cursed both of the families as it was the feud between them that lead him to his death.

Due to this death, Tybalt ran away with the servants. However, showed up again after a while.

Having lost his precious friend, Mercutio, Romeo felt devastated, angry, sad and mixed emotions related to anger fell upon him. Thus, this resulted in Romeo having the desire to kill Tybalt - which he did in the end.

Soon after, the townspeople were arriving to the scene as they have heard about the commotion. People wanted to get their facts right on what exactly happened and it became quite noisy to hear what was really going on.

Then, I saw the Lord and Lady Capulet there, moaning over Tybalt's dead body. I felt really sad to lose him too but I just had to stay and hide at the store and watch from a distance. The Prince arrived once again and asked Benvolio to tell him what had happened. Benvolio, however, told half the story and did not mention that Mercutio had actually been the one who started the fight. Due to this, the Prince banished Romeo from Verona.

In my opinion, none of them deserved to die - no matter how much hatred they had for each other. In whatever fight they have fought against each other, nothing worked out and more fuel was added to the fire between them. The fights were always so useless and it just made everyone not in a good mood. Murder, banishment, what is all this?! If only we could have peace. From what I have read, "If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, ...there must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, there must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart." Only if the two families knew this. Things are just getting worse and I really hope things will be solved out amicably with everyone filled with joy - I can only hope.
