Romeo's Unfair Punishment

Romeo’s punishment is not fair.  It is not fair because Prince said that if the families got in a fight again, the punishment would be death.  Another reason that it is not fair is because Romeo was the last one to strike and kill.  The last reason is that the punishment was too soft, they are letting him go after killing someone out of anger.  The Prince clearly states to the Montagues and Capulets, “If you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.” (Act. 1 Scene. 1).  Despite the Prince threatening their lives, he still went soft on his punishment against Romeo.  Romeo clearly started the fight between himself and Tybalt because he is the one who said, “This shall determine that.” (Act. 3 Scene. 3).  This means that he was challenging Tybalt and causing his own banishment.
