217 Words1 Page

I believe that Tybalt killing Mercutio lead to Romeo getting angry and killing Tybalt with free will, and the death of Tybalt lead to Romeo being exiled from Verona causing Romeo and Juliet to get further apart from each other. Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet because he thought it’d end the family feud but it just made both of their lives horrible when Romeo killed Tybalt. Although the reason free will became a part of this is when Juliet decided to take Friar Lawrence’s potion that made people assume she is dead but, will actually will awake her in 42
