Romeo wants to blame fortune for the two deaths that have just occurred, rather than to think about what he could have done to stop them occurring. The way in which the play is written perhaps makes us more sympathetic towards Romeo, because we know that he has just married Juliet, whilst the characters on stage do not.
Romeo could have acted in a more sensible way to Tybalt's challenge, instead of coming out with the words which provoked Mercutio into violence. His intervention between Mercutio and Tybalt may have caused his friend's death. His attempts to remain loyal to both his friends and his wife Juliet, were doomed to failure.

To me, Romeo was unconscious when he killed Tybalt, so we mustn't blame him.He acted in a sensitive as medine said but poor Romeo he did what he didn't want.
