Benvolio tells the Prince how Mercutio was killed by Tybalt, and Tybalt by Romeo. The Capulets call for Romeo’s execution but the Prince punishes him with banishment from Verona instead. Back at home, Juliet awaits news of her rendezvous with Romeo but when the Nurse arrives and informs her of what has happened, she threatens to kill herself. The Nurse calms her by saying she’ll find Romeo and bring them together. Romeo, hiding in Friar Laurence’s cell, mourns his banishment and threatens to take his own life until Juliet’s Nurse arrives with news of her desire to be with him. Romeo agrees to go to Juliet’s chamber and to leave for Mantua by nightfall, where he will stay until the dust has settled and he and Juliet can return in marriage to Verona. Meanwhile, Lord Capulet comforts his grieving wife by setting a date with Paris for him to wed Juliet in two days.
