Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

After seven years of selling flowers with my mum and I haven't seen

anything quite like this day. While other kids my age are out playing

and learning what the outside world is really like I am at this same

old boring market selling flowers to feed me and my family.

It was a lovely summer’s morning in fair Verona and Mercutio and

Benvolio and other men were walking round past the market stall. They

villain." He then acts very confidently and then he challenges Romeo

to a fight, and tries to placate him much to Mercutio's disgust.

Mercutio was angered by the fact that Romeo’s decision not to fight,

challenges Tybalt to a fight.

Romeo tries to stop any conflict that could have occurred and tries to

make peace but he can’t. I don’t think he tried hard enough to make

peace as his friend was a steak here, Tybalt badly wounded Mercutio

being Mercutio, still was making jokes and puns as he said "Ask for

me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man".

The skies started to break and I heard the thunder rumble in the

distance and then all of a sudden the rain was beating down on me and

my mum's stall as I watch in despair the catastrophic events that were

taking place here in Verona.

Romeo was upset and blamed himself for Mercutio's death. After

spending a few minutes weeping on the floor he vows to kill Tybalt and
