Romeo's Fair Treatment

Romeo's punishment is fair. He did kill Tybalt, consequently the prince sentenced him to banishment from Verona. Benvolio suggests, "Romeo, away, be gone, the citizens are up, and Tybalt slain! Stand not amazed. The Prince will doom thee death if thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away!" Romeo only killed Tybalt because he just killed Mercutio, his best friend. Despite his actions, Romeo's whole life is in Verona because of Juliet, banishment is worse than death for him. No one should have their life taken away which is why this treatment is fair. He should be grateful the prince was merciful.
