Act three scene one, is a scene the effects of which form the bases for the rest of the play. It's when things start to transform for Romeo and Juliet and things start to get worse, putting a strain on their relationship and their families. The scene is very dramatic in terms of what happens in the scene but also that effect that the proceedings have on the remainder of the play. The scene starts with Benvolio and Mercutio talking about Tybalt and the effects of the inevitable fight if they meet. Tybalt arrives and he and Mercutio begin to fight. The fight results in Mercutio's death and Romeo wanting revenge, begins to fight Tybalt, again resulting in a death this time Tybalt is slain. Romeo runs under Benvolio's guidance. The Prince, after an argument with both families', decrees that Romeo is banished and must be killed if he ever enters Verona again.
