I feel for Romeo....

I have sympathy for Romeo because he has been through so much.  Between Act III and Act IV he murders Tybalt and is later banished from his love, Juliet. I think that the banishment from Juliet was much worse than the feeling that he felt when he murdered Tybalt. Some evidence to support my thoughts can be found on pages 187-188 which describes Romeo crying about being banished from his love.  I think that there is a limit to how much Romeo can handle mentally, and with so much happening recently to him he is being pushed closer to the edge. I believe that Romeo would rather be killed than banished. "Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say "death," for exile hath more terror in his look, much more than death. Do not say "banishment" (Shakespeare 184).  In this quote, we can easily see that Romeo would much rather be killed than be banished from Juliet. I have sympathy for Romeo because he is under so much stress caused by the conflicts surrounding his banishment in this last act.  If this was happening to me, I would be pretty upset too.
