I believe that it was fair that Romeo was banished. Considering that he was causing issues and conflicts within the city of Verona. A Montague loving a Capulet was too much violence for this town. Giving Romeo the death penalty would be a little extreme. He deserves a second chance, he couldn't help who he fell in love with. Though Romeo murdered Tybalt, he doesn't deserve revenge. Banishing Romeo to another city would be the proper appropriate thing to act on. The more kills the more conflict, and that is what they are trying to get rid of by sending Romeo away. Juliet loves Romeo so will she think anything they do to Romeo is fair? Probably not but its because they are in love. I am going to predict that Juliet runs with Romeo, and they live in another town together. Romeo's punishment is fair because he deserves a second chance, he killed out of emotions, and he fell in love with the wrong last name. Romeo is probably struggling with having to leave his wife, but its the right thing to do for everyone. Hopefully she follows him, because this is a strong thing for him to do. It shows character. No matter what Romeo and Juliet will always find a way to be together, whatever that means, takes, or requires they will do what they need to do. So Romeo got the easy way out, but he doesn't really know it yet. Romeo got a fair punishment, banishment. "Women may fall when there is no strength in men", (Act 11).
"My only love sprang from my only hate", (Act 1, Scene 1).
