In act 3, scene, Tybalt, Benvolio, and Mercutio were arguing about the event from the Capulet’s party. Mercutio and Tybalt wanted to fight but Benvolio stopped them. What Tybalt actually wanted was to fight Romeo. When Romeo comes into the scene, Tybalt and him fight but, Mercutio was struck by Tybalt under Romeo’s arm, and he uses a metaphor when he says, “the devil came between us” which he is referring to the sword as a devil, on lines 104. In the end, Mercutio dies and Romeo is raging at this point. When Tybalt came back after fleeing, Romeo stabbed Tybalt and killed him; this is significant because he just killed Juliet’s cousin.
Juliet hears about this event from the Nurse and the nurse says how all men are the same and there is no honesty in men, but Juliet still stood up for him symbolising how strong her love is for Romeo. Romeo says that banishment has more terror in it than death on lines 12-14. He is devastated because to him, Verona is his only world. Friar calls Romeo a woman but acts like a beastly man on lines 110-114. He is referring to how Romeo cries like a women, but kills and acts like a men.
However, while all this mess is going on, the Capulet schedules the wedding between Juliet and Paris for Thursday and it is a Monday right now. Romeo and Juliet finally meet at her room, and they argue about whether it is day or night. Juliet foreshadows on lines 54-57, when she says that she has a foreseeing evil soul and says she could imagine Romeo lying dead at the bottom of a tomb; that is where Romeo dies beside Juliet later in the play. Juliet hears she has to marry Paris on Thursday and is strongly against it. When Capulet hears Juliet is not impressed and is against the marriage, he is in a rage, and for the first time in this play shows a furious side of him and calls his daughter disrespectful names; on line 158.
