Romeo and Juliet animation
6. Exile
Prince Escalus asks Benvolio to explain how the fight between Romeo and Tybalt began and Benvolio gives a fair account of the deaths of both Mercutio and Tybalt. Lord and Lady Capulet argue for Romeo to be punished while Lord Montague argues for leniency. The Prince declares that Romeo is to be banished to Mantua.
The nurse breaks the news to Juliet that Romeo has killed Tybalt and Rosaline reflects on how difficult it must be for Juliet, knowing that her husband has committed such an act. The nurse says she will go to Friar Lawrence, where Romeo is hiding, and bring him to Juliet for a final farewell.
Friar Lawrence informs Romeo of the Prince's decision and Romeo laments that banishment will mean leaving Juliet. The nurse arrives to summon Romeo to the Capulet household and Rosaline worries about what will happen if Romeo is discovered.
At the Capulet house Romeo shares a brief farewell with Juliet, his departure hastened by Lady Capulet who is coming to Juliet's room. Rosaline wonders why Lady Capulet should be so eager to speak to her daughter.
