Romeos punisment

             I think Romeo's punishment of being banished is fair, for killing Tybalt. I think so because, Tybalt started the fight and killed Mercutio. That was Romeo's best friend, and he had a reason to kill where Tybalt did not. Tybalt was mad that they went to a Capulet party uninvited, but they did no harm so why try to hurt or kill them? For example, Tybalt said " This by his voice should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave come hither, covered with an antic face, to fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now by the stock and honour of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it not a sin." (act 1 scene 5)
