Mercutio and Benvolio run into Tybalt and co. Tybalt is looking for Romeo, and he is rude to Mercutio.

    This is good, Jack.

    While you’re writing it, I suggest you start turning your attention to the clues in the characters’ action and language to the lovers’ oncoming fate. This will be our analytical focus – the more you keep a record of the more you’ll be able to decode Shakespeare’s intentions when it comes to analysis.
