Romeo then entered the scene causing Tybalt to turn his attention to Romeo and calling him a villain for coming to the party. Romeo having just married told Tybalt that he has a reason to love him. Tybalt not giving a shit drew his sword and challenged Romeo to duel to death. Mercutio then drew his sword since Romeo doesn't want to fight.

        This scene shows how fate could not be prevented or escaped. The only reason Friar Lawrence's plan didn't work was because there's a Plague. Romeo attempts to defy that fate by killing himself and spending eternity with Juliet: “Well, Juliet,” he says, “I will lie with thee tonight” (5.1.34). Tragically, it is Romeo’s very decision to avoid his destiny that actually brings fate about. In killing himself over the sleeping Juliet he ensures their ultimate double suicide. This destiny, brought about by the interplay of societal norms from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape, seems equally powerful, though less divine. It is a fate created by man, and man’s inability to see through the absurdity of the world he has created.
    - - Friar Lawrence then discovered that Friar John was quarantined and couldn't send the letters. Friar lawrence then decided he's gonna try to save Juliet from the tomb and send another letter to Romeo to tell him what's up
- - - - The scene began with Sampson and Gregory joking about hating Montague and talked about how he wants to kill their men and rape their women. Sampson provoked a fight causing Benvolio (a Montague kinsmen) to draw a sword and stop the fight. Tybalt (a Capulet Kinsman) does the same and express his hatred and attacked. The civilians then stopped the fight. Montague and Capulet entered all pissed ready to fight until the prince entered and tell them to stop fighting. The prince then tell them that the fight has been going on for too long and propose a death penalty to anyone who disturbs the peace. Montague and his wife then asked Benvolio (their niece) if he had seen Romeo as he look sad lately. Benvolio then met his cousin (Romeo) and console him. Romeo was sad about Rosaline not returning his feelings and so Benvolio advice him to find someone else to love.
      - the beginning was incredibly memorable where Shakespeare gave out the background information regarding the world (mainly 2 houses who hates one another, violent society [where joking about rape is ok], a royalty who rules the place) . It is also important to note that It is significant to note that the fight began from their servants as they are often used to comment on their masters and made the play "realistic". This scene also introduce us to one of the antagonist, Romeo who was depicted to be madly in love. It is also depicted that Montague does care about his son and take notice when he's sad although he remained distant as he could not understand Romeo.
    - - The scene began with Capulet walking in with a noble kinsmen of the prince, Paris. The two then discussed Paris' marriage with Capulet's daugther, Juliet. He promised Paris that Juliet can marry her when she turns 13 and that Paris needs to woo Juliet if he wants to marry her. Capulet then ask his servant Peter to invite guests from the lists even though Peter can't read. And so, Peter invited Romeo and Benvolio (who was still arguing about love) to the party by promising beautiful women and Rosaline
      - This scene introduces us to Juliet's situation as Capulet wanted Paris to be her suitor. It also sets into motion the context and reasoning for Romeo and Juliet's meeting in the feast. This scene also depicts capulet as a kind man as he wants juliet to have the freedom to pick her suitor (something most women doesn't have in the society) “My will to her consent is but a part” [1.2.15])
    - - We are introduced to Juliet in this scene. Lady Capulet asked the nurse where Juliet whereabout is. Lady capulet then asked about how Juliet felt about marrying Paris to which she replied "an honor that I dream not of:"
      - This scene shows the dynamic between Juliet and her parents (they don't understand her and not close at all) and enforces the parental influence relevant in the story
    - - Benvolio and Mercutio persuade Romeo to join them in a masquerade.
      - Their departure does not leave the stage empty for long. Romeo enters (at the opposite side of the stage) accompanied by Mercutio and Benvolio, with a few other companions. They are all disguised—wearing fancy dress and comic masks to hide their faces. Attendants bear torches, and there are probably musical instruments—certainly there is a drum (line 114). Benvolio has organized a masquerade—an amateur entertainment, fashionable in the sixteenth century, in which gentlemen could visit a party to which they had not been invited. After making a speech to the host (the speech referred to by Benvolio in the first line of the scene), the strangers would dance, flirt with the ladies, pay compliments to the host, and then depart. The host regarded the arrival of masquers as a form of flattery, not in any sense an intrusion into the privacy of his party. Throughout the scene we are constantly made aware of the fact that it is dark; night has fallen, and torches must be used to give the illusion of darkness. Benvolio and Mercutio are full of enthusiasm for the masquerade, but Romeo is reluctant to join them. He would prefer to be alone with his love-sick misery—and he has a strong sensation of impending disaster: ‘I dream’d a dream tonight’. But before Romeo’s dream can threaten to spoil the light-hearted fun of the scene, Mercutio’s energetic imagination explodes into life with his fantastic ‘Queen Mab’ speech. The speech is sheer invention, and must be enjoyed as such—having no deeply significant meaning, and no particular relevance to the action of the play (except to allow enough time for Capulet’s guests to eat their supper). Before the masquers leave the stage Romeo voices his unease, and then resigns himself to fate.
