        • Also Abraham and another Montague servant
        • They fight
          • Important to play because it forces the prince to enforce death if fighting starts again
            • Important since Romeo is banished because of this rule.
          • Violence is an important part to the play because it is the main contributor to death.
            • If this didn't happen than Romeo wouldn't of killed Tybalt because mercutio and Tybalt wouldn't fought

          • If Romeo hadn't of killed himself in the romantic and raw time it is than Juliet wouldn't of killed herself. The play would be deprived of tragic conclusion.
          • If Paris hadn't of died than he could'v e told of how in love the lovers were and observed the double suicide- retelling the story and leading to the same conclusion.
