Time: Monday Evening.

Characters: Mercutio, Benvolio , Romeo,Tybalt and Petruchio.

Events: 

Mercutio and Benvolio begin the scene by saying that if we see them then will fight our enemies straight away.Soon after, Romeo enters saying stuff about how happy he was of they day, but then Tybalt is seen and wants a fight so Mercutio does not back down and says “O calm dishonorable, vile submission! Alla stoccata carries it away. (draws his sword) Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?” meaning we must put our sword out and fight.They begin to fight and obviously Romeo breaks it up since he married Juliet there will be no fighting between the families.Suddenly Tybalt strikes under Romeo’s arm and stabs Mercutio .Romeo gets angry and says you must pay for this so in the meantime Mercutio dies so that motivates Romeo to definitely make Tybalt pay the price for the death of Mercutio. Tybalt dies. The prince asks what happened and the witnesses says Romeo done everything so Lady Capulet says cut Romeo’s head (Romeo has the Prince blood so any badness affects the Prince).The Prince decides that Romeo shall not be allowed in Verona again.

Quote:

BENVOLIO

Tybalt started the fight before he was killed by Romeo. Romeo spoke to Tybalt politely and told him how silly this argument was. He mentioned that you would not approve of the fight. He said all of this gently and calmly, kneeling down out of respect. But he could not make peace with Tybalt, who was in an angry mood and wouldn’t listen to talk about peace. Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight each other fiercely, lunging at one another and dodging each other’s blows. Romeo cried out, “Stop, my friends. Break it up.” Then he jumped in between them and forced them to put their swords down. But Tybalt reached under Romeo’s arm and thrust his sword into brave Mercutio. Then Tybalt fled the scene.

    This is a great level of detail, Eric. Nice work.

    I’d encourage you to pay close attention to a couple of things. One of them is making sure you put a space after your full stops when you write (I’m sure your spell-checker will be underlining that) and the other is, wherever you can, to pull out any quotes from the scene that have to do with fate, for example in this scene where Romeo says “I am fortune’s fool” or when Mercutio says “Speak to me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man”.

    You’ve had a great first term. I’m thrilled.
