I think that you would expect Romeo to fight. But, now that he is married and a "man" he wants to attempt to restore peace instead of fight. Tybalt gives a verbal attack on Romeo. Romeo does not want to fight him. Romeo throws himself between the two that are fighting in order to make them chill and do the "right thing". Romeo is now very angry that Mercutio dies. He thinks it should be him in Mercutio's place. Tybalt comes back into the picture and Romeo draws his sword to fight. Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo has to now RUN. Now he is the "fool". Even though Romeo was trying to get everyone to keep the peace - Lady Capulet - Juliet's mom, Tybalt's aunt...wants Romeo's life in place of Tybalt's life. Romeo is then exiled and if he is found he will be killed. Well, you know the ending - he dies anyways. Was his death in vain; was it because he took another life? Was it his love for Juliet? Was he depressed and realized he could never have a good life with his LOVE forever and ever

Explanation:

Remember that the word ironic is something that is happening in the opposite way in which you expected it to happen.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
