I chose this image because it shows Romeo's reaction to Mercutio's death. Romeo is so shocked by the rapid progression of events that he forgets about all the consequences and takes revenge for Mercutio. Romeo's anger and aggression for revenge fuel his performance in the duel with Tybalt, allowing him to kill him. Despite forgetting about the consequences, they are still there and Romeo gets banished.
Prompt A
These acts begin with Tybalt and Mercutio talking to each other. Mercutio is very hostile, while Benvolio advises against this hostility. Tybalt wants to find Romeo to get back at him for crashing his party (another reference to revenge, as in the picture above). When Romeo shows up and refuses to fight Tybalt, Mercutio takes it upon himself to duel this superior fighter. Mercutio looses and dies, leading Romeo to seek revenge, which he does by killing Tybalt.
When Juliet hears this news, she is at first questioning Romeo and is somewhat critical of his actions. However, she realizes that she is now his wife and should support him, and expresses to the Nurse that she intends to defend Romeo. Juliet says that Romeo's banishment is much worse than Tybalt's death. The Nurse arranges for Romeo and Juliet to still spend the night together.
I like the image you chose. It really conveys what happened in the scene. Your summary was also very informative.
