	A plague o' both your houses! I am sped.
	Is he gone, and hath nothing?" Act III, Scene I, 87-89

Romeo in repsonse felt guilty and upset to the new of which Mercutio dies for Romeo in the worst way. he is angry to the fact that Tybalt is able to get away with such maddness.

	"Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again,
	That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul
	Is but a little way above our heads,
	Staying for thine to keep him company:
	Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him." Act III, Scene I, 121-124

Despite from the respresentation of love between friendship including Romeo's and Mercutio's there is also a romance between Romeo and Juliet represented in the play. Romeo and Juliet are bounded together by love at first sight, and although their love may seem rushed, they are serious about it especially Juliet,

"My loves true passion, therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,

Which the dark night hath so discovered.”Act II, Scene II, 113-115

“I am no pilot,Yet, wert thou as far

As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,

I would adventure for such merchandise”

Act II, Scene II, 82-84
