Answer 1

I'll get you started. At the end of the scene, Romeo discovers that Mercutio has been fatally stabbed. He (Mercutio) gets up and as he's dying says, "A plague on both your houses!". What do you think that means? "Your houses" refers to the families of Capulets and Montagues--he's putting a curse on both families. So, if you believe in fate, that might mean that Romeo's fate is sealed.

Also, Tybalt is Juliet's cousin and Romeo has killed him after he killed Mercutio...do you think the Capulets will just let that go, no matter that Tybalt had killed someone (probably by accident)?
