Scene: ii The nurse let Juliet know what has happened to Romeo and Tybalt. Juliet responds to what the nurse has told her about Romeo and Tybalt.

7 Scene: iii Romeo learns of his banishment; it is equivalent to death. The Friar said that Romeo should be thankful that he is only being banished and not killed. The Friar tells Romeo to go to Juliet and then to Mantua. He said that he would let everyone know that they are married to hopefully calm the Prince down. This would allow Rome to come back from Mantua to be with Juliet. Scene: iv Capulet has agreed to the marriage of Paris and Juliet.
