“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
Romeo avenges Mercutio's death by killing Tybalt, resulting in his banishment from Verona by the Prince. He is devastated by the sentence of exile, considering it worse than death, and secretly visits Juliet's chamber before fleeing to Mantua. He is comforted by Friar Lawrence, who devises a plan for his eventual reunion with Juliet.
