The fight between the Capulets and Montagues that caused Mercutio's death

The cousin of Juliet , Tybalt , discovered that Romeo has joined the party that I have organised . Mercutio, the Montague's servant accompanied Romeo to the party to meet Romeo's beloved who is called Rosaline, but Rosaline had not met Romeo . As Tybalt have told me that he met the Montagues, I allowed them to stay at the party as I heard the villagers say that Romeo is a fine gentleman, and furthermore , I do not want to create a din in the party. As Tybalt is a hot-tempered man, he is not contented with the fact that I am allowing Romeo and his servant to stay at the party. He held his sword in front of Mercutio ,explaining that he wanted to have a fight with him . Romeo arrived and tried his best to cease the fight between them but to no avail. To Romeo's surprise,Tybalt's sword went under his arm and caused a fatal wound to Mercutio.Blood spurted out of the wound and Romeo, without a second thought , started a fight with Tybalt as Romeo wanted to take revenge for his servant. After a few minutes, Romeo killed Tybalt with his own sword. As Tybalt is my nephew , I do feel sorry for him as he was killed by Romeo.It was also his fault as he was the one who started the fight .Mercutio was innocent as he was killed because he was my enemy's servant. This is not fair to him as he was only working for the Montagues. Tybalt,on the other hand , deserve to die as he has no rights to kill other people just because he was the servant of the enemy.Furthermore,Mercutio did not provoke him in the party.
