Mercutio forces the fight on Tybalt. Tybalt is really only interested in Romeo, but Romeo is not disposed to quarrel with his wife's cousin. Mercutio takes up the quarrel on Romeo's behalf for no reason other than that he is quarrelsome.

Mercutio and Tybalt fought because Tybalt had challenged Romeo to a fight but Mercutio knew that Romeo was not strong enough to fight Tybalt so Mercutio took the burden of fighting Tybalt and eventually dies when he is stabbed by Tybalt under Romeo's arm. Romeo had ran out to block the fight and Mercutio got stabbed. Tybalt leaves, and then returns clearly angry. He is then slain by Romeo and the Prince, Montague, and Capulet and Lady Capulet come out. Romeo exits, and Romeo is banished.

Mercutio doesn't like Tybalt. When Tybalt comes along, Mercutio tries to tempt him into a fight. "Couple it with something, make it a word and a blow." Tybalt is tempted, but has another purpose: to challenge Romeo. But when he does challenge Romeo, Romeo does not pick up the challenge. This, by the macho code of Verona (at least as expressed by Mercutio), is a shameful thing to do. Mercutio, supposedly in order to atone for his friend's shameful behaviour but really to indulge himself in what he wanted to do anyway, fights Tybalt himself.

Because Tybalt kills his best friend. Romeo is appalled and hurt at the loss of his friend Mercutio. Worse, Mercutio has put the blame of his death on Romeo ("Why did you come between us?") so Romeo feels guilty, terribly guilty, and to relieve himself of the guilt he redirects all of his anger from himself to Tybalt. He is overcome by emotion, and does not think about what the consequences will be until Tybalt has died.

Aside from the constant family feud between the Capulets (Tybalt) and the Montagues (Romeo), Tybalt kills Mercutio, who is a close friend of Romeo's. In his blind rage, Romeo seeks revenge.

Mercutio does not like Tybalt and was itching to fight him even before Romeo showed up. When Romeo refused to fight, this gave Mercutio the excuse to fight Tybalt, "to save Romeo's honour".
