Just after Romeo had been wedded to Juliet, she decided to go and get ready for later on in the night. There were only four people that knew about the wedding there were Romeo and Juliet of course, the nurse and the vicar. No one else was to know of the marriage. Romeo had gone and spread the good news to Mercutio. Tybalt splashed some water at Mercutio that got him really angry. They started to have fight, one on one, sword to sword. Romeo tried to stop them but Tybalts sword had stabbed Mercutio under Romeos arm. Tybalt ran of with Romeo chasing him for revenge. He had killed is best friend.
Romeo wanted to finish this to claim his revenge, after a long hard fight Romeo got the final blow in killing Tybalt who fell to the floor dying. Romeo was captured; Prince Escalus questioned him about Tybalts death. Romeo sneakily ran away from all the people that hated him for killing Tybalt.
One point about the differences between the films. In the old film the dual was with swords but in the new film the fight was with guns. Both the guns had only just one bullet in them.
Romeo had to get away because he had been sentenced to death. Juliet had been told to marry Paris because Romeo had died. The vicar gave Juliet a sleeping potion and every one fought she was dead. After a few days Romeo came back to see Juliet at the funeral. As Romeo fought she was dead he wanted to kill himself so he swallowed so poison. As he swallowed the poison she finally awakened from her sleep. She noticed that he had swallowed the poison so she killed herself so they could die together.
