- Mercutio's death is the driving factor for Romeo to kill Tybalt, which complicates the plot, by making it so Romeo can't visit Juliet, or be seen in Verona. Furthermore, Mercutio’s death sets the mood for the play to come, which shows that this is not the worst of what's to come.
- “But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” - Act 3 scene 2, line 110
- Tybalt's death complicates the plot by putting Juliet in a conflict of interest, where she has to choose between her husband ( Romeo ) and her cousin. Tybalt’s death makes Juliet rethink her love for Romeo. Also, Tybalt's death ruined the relationship between Juliet and the Nurse. His death also causes Romeo to be exiled from Verona, creating even more challenges.
- “Where’s Romeo? There on the ground, with his own tears made drunk” - Act 3 scene 3, line 90
- Lady Capulet spends a large portion of this scene mourning. As she is distraught over Tybalt’s death, and remarkably angry at the Montagues. She expresses more desire for vengeance than her husband does, demanding of the Prince “I beg for justice, which thou prince must give./Romeo slew Tybalt. Romeo must not live.”
- “My Lord, I would that Thursday were tomorrow.“ - Act 3 Scene 5, line 32
- Juliet learns about Romeo being exiled from Verona, and that Romeo was the one that killed Tybalt. This is one of the most important aspects of this act and the play, as it causes a predicament to manifest. The predicament is how Juliet will put her love for Romeo over anything, showing just how loyal and faithful she is to Romeo. These actions drive the plot forward by showing Juliet's intent when it comes to love.
- Romeo’s interaction with Friar Lawrence and the Nurse is what made him rethink taking his own life. Romeo continues to weep throughout this scene saying that a life without Juliet is worse than death, Friar Lawrence advises Romeo to go visit Juliet one last time, which makes Romeo calm down and focus on meeting Juliet. Effectively without the Nurse telling Romeo not to take his life, the play would end short without the proper conclusion. ( The nurse also gives Romeo a ring to reassure him and Juliet still loves him )
- In this scene the Capulet family is discussing the marriage between Paris and Juliet, they are deciding on dates for the wedding. When Capulet suggests they move the wedding up due to the death of Tybalt. Paris is annoyed by this as he wants to be with Juliet as soon as possible. This event contradicts what Juliet wants for herself, which causes potential conflicts in the future of the play.
