Answer:

The climax has to be when Mercutio is murdered by Tybalt, and then Tybalt is murdered by Romeo and Romeo is banished from Verona.

The rising action of Romeo and Juliet occurs following Romeo and Juliet's first meeting. Tensions continue to mount between the Capulets and Montagues, and Romeo and Juliet are forced to accept that their marriage will not receive approval from their respective families.

Falling action The end of Act 5, scene 3, when the Prince and the parents discover the bodies of Romeo and Juliet, and agree to put aside their feud in the interest of peace.
