Both Your Houses!
In the story of Romeo and Juliet, the love start under the pressure of the hostility between two family. Although both of them wished a good ending of this love and believed that this was the true love for both of them. But by the childish decedent that made by them, and all those coincidence that happened finally made this love story end in an tragedy. If someone should more responsible then others that may be the first who start to spire blood into this story, Mercutio.
Mercutio, who first start the fight with Tybalt and killed in that fight, use his death made Romeo killed Tybalt and lead to Romeo’s banishment. In that condition Tybalt mean to start a fight with Romeo and made killed him this action which could end in the situation that Romeo did not draw and they were being stopped by Ben or the Citizens. But Mercutio’s anger made him act in a way that he thought was responsible and honorable, this action lead to his death and all the story that happened after. Seem like all the blood and death of many others which cause by both murder or illness start at Mercutio’s death.The honor thing that he did was bring the fight between two families, Caplet and Montague, in to the level that would revenge to each other in many ways. The Lord Caplet want to married Juliet to Paris because that he understand that death was so quick and unexpectable which will take his nephew’s life so quick. Romeo was banished by the Prince and hided in another city that may safe for him and his mother was dead in sickness because the banishment of his son. Friar Lawrence found that all he did and planed was proved in vain but he still did all he could to help that two kids to achieve what they wish.
There were also many people to blame about their choose made this love story finally end in an tragedy. Since the families didn’t have civility, the rudeness they show made the tragedy formed. Tybalt was anger about Romeo get in his party when he first saw him, he could pick up a fight on the street with Ben in public. The only thing that he thought after he saw Romeo was kill him, or hurt him with out think or plan. Those people was rude and act6 with out thinking, they act just like Mercutio which was doing something that they thought was honorable and glory. Those actions and kindness was also could be blame by killed Romeo, the close gate and the massage that had been blocked was the kindness form Friar Lawrence end in vain, all those things happened made Romeo finally commit suicide in the end and as the original sin in Catholicism, he shall never go to haven.
When Mercutio was killed, his last ward was “both your houses!”. Those words was like a curse, after that it was like the blood dripped on ground, every thing start to have bloodstain on, all people start to die and all the kindness end in a bad result. Everything start at the blood of Mercutio and end in the blood of Romeo and Juliet. He thought that he did the right thing, and luckily he could never see what happened after.
