In act 3 scene 1 would say Romeo is the main reason for Mercurios death because Romeo stopped him from fighting and was holding him down when tyblat stabbed him. Also the fight between Mercurio and tyblat wouldve been avoided and been between Romeo and tyblat. It's because Romeo didn't stood up for himself , but Mercurio did for him. When tyblat said to Romeo "Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain." He was calling Romeo his enemy but Romeo was trying to make peace with him instead of fighting because of his love for Juliet. Mercurio should've mind his business anyway and not have fought tyblat because tybalt didn't want him, he wanted  Romeo.

If I was to set this up as a director I would  have tyblat beating up Romeo, outside a restaurant.  Romeo not fight back because he's trying to explain his married to Juliet. Mercurio comes out the restaurant to help Romeo, but Romeo grabs Mercurio and tells him to stop. Then tyblat stabs Mercurio behind his back. Then the lights get darker and Romeo gets red and goes on a rampage. Screams and starts chasing tyblat throughout the parking lot. With hardcore music playing in the background.
