Content: Lady Capulet demands blood for the killing of Tybalt, but, luckily for Romeo, the Prince does not enforce the death penalty. Instead, he tells Romeo that he is banished from Verona. Romeo must leave the city immediately and, if he does not, will be killed. Similarly, he will be killed if he returns to Verona. The banishment is a disaster for Romeo. Having just married Juliet, Romeo is now forced to separate from her. As Romeo later says to Friar Lawrence, being banished from Verona is like being banished from the world. Juliet is his world, and without her he is plunged into hell. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team
