The play evolves around these two characters. It is about love, hate and honour of two families-the Montague's and Capulet's. The feud between these two families has been going on for so long that they have currently forgot what they are fighting over.

There are also a few more characters that have a major role in this play. They are Benvolio, Mercutio, Tybalt, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet …show more content…
This play consists of a lot of dramatic irony, this scene in particular. "Well girl, thou weeps't not so much for his death as the villain lives, which slaughtered him." This is an ironic quote from lady Capulet as she thinks that Juliet wants Romeo (her husband) dead for murdering Tybalt. Infact Juliet is really crying for Romeo. Juliet says this to the audience: "[Aside] Villain and he be many miles asunder- God pardon him! I do, with all my heart" (Act 3 Scene 5) Notice that she only says this to the audience as the stage direction shows this. This quote also proves that Juliet forgives Romeo for killing Tybalt. To make us fell more sympathetic towards Juliet, Shakespeare has her lie to her mother and go along with Lady Capulet: "Ay, madam, from the reach of those my hands; would none but i venge my cousins death"(Act 3 Scene 5) Juliet says that she want to kill Romeo with her own hands, and have revenge for Tybalt, it would be difficult for Juliet to say this about Romeo. Lady Capulet teh says something that has Juliet more worried about Romeo, Lady Capulet says: "we will have vengence for it, fear thou not; then weep no more, i'll send one to
In Act 3, Mercutio and Benvolio are out walking in Verona. Benvolio asks Mercutio to go inside before an incident like before happens again with the Capulet. Mercutio tells him to stop criticizing others and that not all Capulet are going to want to start a fight. Tybalt then enters the scene. Tybalt approaches the two Montague men and asks to speak with one of them. Mercutio, not very happy with Tybalt speaking to them, starts to mess with him. Romeo enters next. Tybalt starts talking to Romeo and calls him a villain. Romeo tries to keep peace with Tybalt as he asks Romeo to draw his sword. Mercutio decides to fight Tybalt since Romeo does not want to. The two men fight. Romeo interferes and tries to stop the fight. In doing so, Tybalt was able to get under Romeo’s arm and stab Mercutio, killing him. Before passing, Mercutio curses both families and Tybalt runs off. Romeo wants revenge on Tybalt. When Tybalt comes back, Romeo draws his sword and the two of them fight. Romeo ends up killing Tybalt and Benvolio tells him to leave the scene before many people start to notice. The prince enters the scene. Benvolio explains what happened. He also explains that Romeo was trying to keep peace, but Lady Capulet thinks he is lying. Prince decides to exile Romeo from Verona instead of giving death as a punishment.
Tybalt’s death caused a bigger hate between the two families, because as the paragraph above state, the Capulets think that Romeo is to blame for Tybalt’s death. People do not know that Tybalt was the cause of Mercutio’s death. The Capulets want to punish Romeo, because there is no other better chance for the Capulets to get their enemies than their only son. They end up going to the prince and lady Capulet say, “Of my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true, for blood of ours shed blood of Montague” (ROM. 3.1. 111). Lady Capulet is being combative here she is so sad about her cousin’s death, and she tells the prince with a very respectful and begging sound to shed the blood of one of the Montagues, like what happened to the Capulets. The prince’s reaction was so kind because he only orders a banishment for Romeo. When Romeo know he reacts badly and says, “Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say “death”” (ROM. 3. 3. 12). Romeo wishes if the prince orders of killing him. He would rather death than leaving juliet alone in Verona. Leaving juliet will result of her sadness and
This play is about a boy named Romeo and girl named Juliet. Their family are mortal enemies so that means that they are always fighting with one another. At a Capulet party Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time not knowing who each other are, until later that night that they are enemies. They begin to fall in love with each other and get married after meeting for one night. Then the drama gets to their head and they kill themselves. In Romeo and Juliet Capulet’s and Montague’s, Friar Lawrence, and Balthasar are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
Juliet wants to see Romeo at the beginning of the scene. She says she wants him to come immediately. During this time Romeo is fighting Tybalt and he kills Tybalt. Juliet also mentions that she never wants to leave Romeo or for Romeo to leave her.
In the heat of the moment, Romeo then ends up killing Tybalt because of this anger and is banished. For Juliet, Tybalt's death affects her family. With, and after what happened, Juliet reconsiders her love for Romeo because of what he has done. In this act, Tybalt is always urging on the fight
Romeo’s perseverance of civility and vengeance of Mercutio’s death also illustrate that good intentions do not always lead to good consequences. Immediately following Romeo's marriage to Juliet, Romeo is approached in the streets by the belligerent Tybalt. When Tybalt and Mercutio begin to fight, Romeo tries to maintain the peace by positioning himself between the two. Inadvertently, he obscures Mercutio's field of view, preventing Mercutio from defending Tybalt's blow. Mercutio accuses Romeo of single-handedly causing his downfall, to which Romeo replies, "I thought all for the best" (III. i. 100). Guilt-stricken, Romeo avenges his friend's death by discarding his clemency and slaying Tybalt in a moment of uncontrolled anger. This results in a multitude of adverse effects: Romeo's banishment from Verona, Juliet's arranged marriage to Paris, and Lady Montague's death. Romeo's attempt to keep the peace and the revenge he seeks on
Scene V starts with Capulet, Lady Capulet, Juliet, Nurse, and all the Guests. Capulet welcomes everyone, and tells people to start dancing, and the musicians to start playing. Next, the second Capulet and Capulet converse about how he hasn’t thrown a party since over thirty years ago. Following, Romeo asks who is that girl on that knight, and he explains how beautiful, fair, etc. she is. Tybalt sees Romeo, and know that he is a Montague and wants to kill him; Capulet tells Tybalt to calm down, because Romeo is a well-behaved man so just ignore him. Tybalt doesn’t want to tolerate him, and he thinks that they are being disrespected; Capulet responds so angry, saying you will tolerate him, and you need to listen to me! And how he is a little punk, and he needs to shut up. He announces to the guests to keep having fun and dancing. Tybalt is so angry he leaves. Romeo starts talking to Juliet, and he wants to kiss her
Tybalt’s monstrous behaviour in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet fuels the feuding families’ hate and consequently results in the deaths of the doomed lovers. His violent dispositions, fierce devotion to the Capulets and irrational behaviour all contribute to the final fatalities of the hero and heroine. Tybalt's violence leads to chaos in between the two bickering families. Tybalt is to blame for their deaths as his violent tendencies had chain reactions. Tybalt's hatred for the Montagues is strong as he feels like they are a threat to the Capulets.
Romeo and Juliet both denounce the feud between their families soon after they fall for each other. As Romeo listens to Juliet on the balcony, he realizes that his name is an issue. So he replies, “I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized. Henceforth I never will be Romeo.” (2.2.49-51) Later Juliet also denounces her family to be with the one she loves. After Tybalt is killed, she has a conversation about her cousin’s death. She says, “Villain and he be many miles asunder. / God pardon him! I do, with all my heart, / And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart.” (3.5.81-83) This ability to denounce your own flesh and blood, shows just how much Romeo and Juliet are blinded by lust.
/ That villain cousin would have kill'd my husband” (3:2). This reflects the internal conflict of Juliet.
Shakespeare creates effective drama by introducing the speech of Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. Tybalts speech is strong and hateful towards Romeo, as he is now aware that there is one, if not more Montague’s present. By using dialogue such as ‘ what dare that slave come hither’ and ‘uncle, this is a Montague, our foe’ Shakespeare is able to translate the hate and rivalry, possessed between Romeo and Tybalt and generally the drama and conflict between Capulet and Montague. This is very dramatically effective. Capulet’s response to Tybalt, is to say that he has heard only good things about Romeo, therefore the party must go on. More time for more drama is allowed with no interruption of the party, therefore the passionate meeting of Romeo and Juliet is allowed to take place.
Act 3 Scene 1 lines 132-133, Benvolio says to Romeo, “Romeo, away, be gone! / The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain.” This in after Romeo has killed Tybalt for revenge. Romeo knows beforehand that he shouldn’t kill Tybalt because Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin, but he goes against his moral instinct truculently. Killing Juliet’s cousin could have ended Romeo’s relationship with her forever, but he was luckily
Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet involves five drastically different characters, all with varying goals and personality traits: Tybalt, Lord Capulet, Romeo, Juliet, and the Nurse. Tybalt’s defining traits are his hot-headedness and hatred of peace. His temper and protectiveness lead to a desire to protect the Capulets from any Montague intrusion. His arrogance also plays a large role; by challenging someone to a fight, he can display his skills in combat. To outsiders, Lord Capulet may seem vastly different from Tybalt, seeming jovial, but within his family, he is similarly short-tempered. While he wants his guests to enjoy themselves in order to be a polite host, he also wants to avoid breaking the law against public fighting. Therefore, when Tybalt readies himself to fight Romeo, Capulet steps in and admonishes him in order to avoid tarnishing his reputation. Romeo, on the other hand, is quick to love and quick-- almost hasty- in acting. He longs for something (such as the party) to take his mind off Rosaline, but his belief in fate does not entirely allow him to do so, as he had previously believed horrible events would take place if he went to the party. This belief causes him to exit abruptly, despite having just met Juliet. Juliet herself is lonely and simultaneously standoffish and naive. She wishes to find someone she truly loves, and finds this in Romeo. Although her defensive nature makes her reject him at first, her naivety eventually leads her
First, Romeo’s kind and calm personalities act as an advantage for many of the possible problems he could have had, such as Capulet hatred towards him and his increase in violence. After Romeo was depressed because he liked Rosaline and she didn’t like him back, his cousin Benvolio helped Romeo sneak into a Capulet party so he could get over Rosaline and pick another woman that he might like. As Romeo was describing how Juliet looked to his cousin, Tybalt, Capulet’s nephew, figured out that Romeo was at the party by his voice. He then told Capulet and asked him if he could kill him, but surprisingly Capulet lets him stay at the party and calls Romeo a gentleman and a good man (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1 Line 64). Capulet could have captured him or even killed him, but he did not. Capulet stated that Romeo is a well-governed youth and that Romeo is a good man, which shows that Romeo isn’t a person who would cause a commotion and that he causes no threat to the Capulet family. Later on, as Mercutio, the prince's kinsman, is arguing and fighting with Tybalt about him being one of his villains, Romeo’s friends, Romeo comes in and says, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such greeting. Villain am I none.Therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not” (Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 1 Line 58). As Tybalt wants to fight Romeo and bring in violence, Romeo
