2. Tybalt calls Romeo a villain. No better term than this: thou art a villain.
3. Romeo tells Benvolio to draw and beat down their (Capulets) weapons. Draw Benvolio; beat down their weapons.
4. Tybalt trusted under Romeo's arm and he accidently stabbed Mercutio. Tybalt under Romeo's arm thrusts Mercutio in, and flies.
5. Line 117: And in my temper soft'ned valor's steel!
6. Lady Capulet tells the prince to kill Romeo. A semi-colon is used.
7. The prince says that he is going to let Romeo leave, but if Romeo is found, then the Prince will kill Romeo. This complicates the plot because Mercutio was related to the Prince, and one would think that the Prince would be very angry, and the Prince would kill Romeo. Let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he is found, that hour is his last.
