Benvolio And Tybalt In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Benvolio is the peacekeeper in Romeo and Juliet. He wants no trouble, but gets pulled into it anyways. So naturally, he will try to maintain the peace instead of creating more issues. In Scene One, the Capulets and Montauges start quarreling on the streets over virtually nothing. Benvolio comes in and explains what had been going on, and tried to stop the arguing. “I drew part to them. In the instant came the fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared...” (1.1.101-105) He tells the Prince everything in aims of keeping the peace. Though it already happened, he still wants the fighting to be kept silent between the two feuding families. He does this by being truthful to the higher power. Benvolio also attempts to keep the peace in another situation by again telling the Prince about what had happened. When Mercutio killed by Tybalt, and Tybalt slain by Romeo, Benvolio couldn't help but say what had happened. “O Noble Prince, I can

Tybalt could also be held accountable for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt's nasty, hot-headed persona caused a lot of strife as he always started brawls and quarrelled with the Montagues. When Tybalt gets in a fight with Mercutio, despite the Prince's orders to

When a fight happens between Tybalt and Mercutio because of his temper it ends with the death of both. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare he sets up Benvolio and Tybalt as foil characters. He made Tybalt someone who always gets into fights. However, the tension between their families will only increase their anger for each other. Even though they are antithetical, their care and respect for their own family are the same. William Shakespeare writes Romeo and Juliet as a Tragedy. The writer writes the story with Benvolio and Tybalt as enemies that are completely different, but still show some similarities to each other.

In William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Benvolio and Tybalt are portrayed as characters with distinctly opposing personalities that is apparent in many different instances throughout the play. Romeo's best friend, Benvolio is depicted as the classic nice guy, incorporating all the personalities necessary to be one. He is calm, patient, an advocate of peace between the two rival families, and always viewing the cup as half full instead of half empty. During the first quarrel between the Montagues and the Capulets in the play, Benvolio tries to bring peace by saying " I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, / Or manage it to part these men with me " ( , , 62-63). It is apparent that Benvolio has good intentions and that he

Tybalt’s character isn’t a very nice one, and he usually is hot-headed, and always wants to fight. This example “What art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death.” shows that he always wants to either fight or to watch one. This other one “Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” shows that if he kills someone on the other family, he thinks it’s

In act 1 scene 1, Tybalt says “As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. meaning he hates the Montague and wanted to fight them.” If tybalt wouldn't hate as much as he did he would have been nice and wouldn't always start fights with the montague with later on wouldn’t lead to Mercutio's death or his very own.

“‘What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?/ Turn thee, Benvolio. Look upon thy death’” (Romeo and Juliet.1.1.56-57). The person threatening Benvolio is Tybalt Capulet from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet was a play written in the mid-1590s, and it involved two “star crossed lovers” (Prologue.6), Romeo and Juliet, from feuding families that eventually took their lives to be together. One important character in the play was Tybalt, a teenager of the house of Capulet and Juliet’s cousin. He was very skilled with a sword and very prideful. Tybalt was killed by Romeo in 3.1. Even though Tybalt was directly killed by Romeo in Act 3 of Romeo and Juliet, there are many other factors that indirectly led to his downfall, including Romeo and Juliet’s secrets, the ancient grudge, and Tybalt’s pride.

Tybalt, did not know the full story about Romeo and Juliet. That led to him saying this, “Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain” (3.1.59-60). This means that, for what Romeo has supposedly done, has led to Tybalt hating him. After that, Romeo replies lovingly, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeting. Villain I am none. Therefore farewell; I see thou knowest me not” (3.1.61-64). Romeo is explaining that, Tybalt does not know the situation, and cannot say that he has insulted him, and is a villain. Tybalt could have responded in many different ways, rather than killing someone. For example, he could have asked Romeo why he had to love him, or simply just walked away from him. Tybalt shows his ignorance, by the decision he made, and without making an effort to understand the whole

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt was the enforcer of the story and always tried to stir up more chaos in the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. An example of this can be found in Act 1, when the Capulet’s party is going on, when Tybalt senses Romeo, he ends up getting very defensive and angry, “This, by his voice, should be a Montague, / Fetch me my rapier, boy. . . Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, / To strike him dead I hold it not a sin” (5.52-57). Tybalt’s quick and unthoughtful actions make him a hot-headed character who is very easy to dislike. With Tybalt’s previous actions, the story leaned toward the idea that he was going to cause a damaging and lethal event to happen, which he indeed did. After spotting Romeo at the Capulet party, Tybalt felt disrespected and was livid, due to this, he challenged Romeo to a duel. When they both meet up on the street, Romeo attempts to make peace with Tybalt and to end all disagreements between the two. However, Tybalt is there to cause drama and he declines, stating that Romeo’s request “shall not excuse the injuries / that thou hast done to me” (3.1.61-62). Tybalt’s rejection of Romeo’s request led to his own death as well as Mercutio’s. Another consequence of these actions was Romeo’s banishment from Verona, which ended up

In Shakespeare’s most famous play, Romeo and Juliet, the character Tybalt Capulet comes across as a belligerent and cocky however loyal young man. Tybalt is the nephew of Lady Capulet and is Juliet’s cousin. Although he only appears for a few times throughout the play, Tybalt is a critical characters that propels the plot forward with his unlikable, extreme actions. Tybalt first emerges in Act 1 Scene 1, at a bickering between his fellow kinsman and their enemy the Montagues.

Another major character that has contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt Capulet, due to his ‘hot headed’ attitude and his short temper. Tybalt demonstrates a love of violence and is a loyal swordsmen who harbours pure hatred for the Montagues. At the beginning of the play, when Benvolio and Tybalt get into an argument, Tybalt says: “What? Drawn and you talk of peace? I hate the word/as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee./ Have at thee, coward!” (1.1.64-66). Tybalt has a thirst for violence and is always quick to draw his sword. He is a trouble maker who causes most of the friction between the two families. It could also be said that the Capulets in

Benvolio is calm and helps keep the peace between the other hot headed characters in the play. Benvolio shows his brave, peaceful personality in Act I, Scene I when he yells “Part fools!/ Put up your swords. You know not what you do,” (Shakespeare 379). Someone else might have just let them fight and figure it out on their own. Instead, Benvolio tried to stop Mercutio and Tybalt and prevent the brawl.

One of Tybalt’s main qualities is arrogance. This quote accents this quality very well. Tybalt exclaims, “This by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier boy. What! Dares the slave come hither, covered with antic face, fleer, and scorn at our solemnity?” This quote shows how hotheaded and quick to act Tybalt’s persona is. As soon as he hears the voice of a Montague, he is ready and prepared to strike. It also represents that he was confident that he would win the fight and have no repercussions despite, what the Prince had already stated. If you thought Tybalt couldn’t get any worse there is another huge factor that weighed him down and caused his death.
