Romeos unfair punishment.

In William Shakespeares book ( Romeo and Juliet) Romeo kills Tybalt since Tybalt killed Mercutio.

The punishment Romeo is getting is not fair. Because, Tybalt wanted to fight it was his idea and he killed Mercutio when he was supposed to fight with Romeo so technically its not Romeos fault he raged and attacked Tybalt.Although Romeo did not start the fight Tybalt did Romeo was only trying to get revenge for his friend Mercutio.Clearly Romeo never wanted to start a fight with Tybalt since he is the husband of Tybalts cousin ( Juliet) but he fought because he got mad Tybalt slaughtered Mercutio.On the other hand, Romeo has lived all his life in fair Verona it is his home.
" Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting: villain am I none, therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not" Act 3 Scene 1.
