Mercutio was only out and about and likely to encounter Tybalt because he was looking for Romeo. When he meets Tybalt, Tybalt is also looking for Romeo because he is angry and insulted that Romeo attended the Capulet ball. Tybalt intends to challenge Romeo, and as he is known to be an outstanding swordsman, Mercutio has already expressed doubts that Romeo is up to such a challenge.

So, with all the best intentions, Romeo is indirectly responsible for putting Mercutio in Tybalt’s path, and although their initial exchange is a duel of words, that quickly escalates into the crossing of swords when Romeo appears and refuses to duel Tybalt. He can’t, as he and Tybalt are now kinsmen, but he can’t reveal that fact, and this apparent show of cowardice by Romeo infuriates Mercutio.

Mercutio insists of dueling Tybalt. They fight, and Romeo tries to intervene, urging them to stop (the Duke has forbid any more fighting in the streets, and should they be discovered, the Duke would most likely punish even his own kinsman, Mercutio). Romeo manages to get between them and part their swords, but at that moment, Tybalt cheats and stabs Mercutio under Romeo’s arm, dealing him a fatal wound.

So, once again, despite his good intentions, Romeo causes Mercutio’s death, and this acknowledged by Mercutio when has asks Romeo why he stepped between Tybalt and Mercutio, providing the opening for Tybalt to mortally wound him.

Mercutio blames both Tybalt and Romeo. His curse, “A plague on both your houses!” makes is clear that he held both the Capulets and the Montagues responsible for making “worm’s meat” of him.

I would argue, though, that his own mercurial nature (pun intended) played a role in his death. Mercutio was brilliant, witty, and a hothead, and his quick-to-anger nature combined with the heat of a blistering summer day, and triggered by his friend’s apparent shame and cowardice, led him to start a fight he couldn’t win, whether Tybalt cheated or not.

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
