Read this excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio: Here comes the furious Tybalt back again.

Romeo: Alive! in triumph! and Mercutio slain!
Away to heaven, respective lenity,
And fire-ey’d fury be my conduct now! 90
Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again
That late thou gav’st me; for Mercutio’s soul
Is but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep him company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. 95

Tybalt: Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here,
Shalt with him hence.

Romeo: This shall determine that. [They fight: TYBALT falls.]

When Romeo kills Tybalt, he increases the friction with Juliet’s family.

Before the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, the families were in a long feud that had only been kept up by small skirmishes. When Mercutio and Tybalt are killed the feud has a renewed strength. The Capulets are calling for the Prince to kill Romeo as punishment. Juliet even struggles with what to do because on the one hand she thinks she should hate Tybalt's killer, but on the other hand she loves Romeo. She eventually decides that she can forgive Romeo for her cousin's death because if he hadn't killed Tybalt, Tybalt surely would've killed him. The rest of the options are simply incorrect. Romeo's friends are not impressed, the prince is not grateful, and Romeo is not notably injured.
