Presentation Of Tybalt And Jack

Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet, has a quick temper and frequently acts on impulse. When he first appears, he arrives at the brink of a street fight, and when Benvolio tries to calm him down he gets riled up and says, “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word/ As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee./ Have at thee, coward!” (1:1, 71-73) When Prince Escalus arrives to see this fight, he raises the consequences on the warring families. He will no longer stand by without doing something and threatens, “If ever you disturb our streets again,/ Your lives shall pay the the forfeit of the peace” (1:1, 98-99). The stakes of the family feud have been taken to a new level, whereas before the Prince was just mad but didn’t act on that anger, now the families are threatened with death if they act out again, all because Tybalt and some Capulet servants jumped into a fight. Even after the Prince’s threats, of which Tybalt knows the stakes, Tybalt comes to fight Romeo the next day but instead finds Benvolio and

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 Tybalt and Romeo fight, he kills Tybalt. If we go back, both families were warned that if there was to be another disturbance in Verona's streets, consequences would be way much worse. “Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here shalt him hence.” Tybalt is basically saying that he will not lose this fight, and that he's sending Romeo to heaven with

In the play, Tybalt has a large influence on the death of Romeo and Juliet. He helps contribute to their deaths because he kills Mercutio and Romeo in turn kills Tybalt which causes Romeo to be banished from Verona. Then Juliet tells “Romeo is banished!” “There is not end no limit, measure, bound. In that word’s death: no words can that woe sound.” (Act III Scene II 128-130) If Romeo had taken the time to think before killing Tybalt he would not have killed him and therefore he would not be

In the beginning of the story, the Montagues and Capulets break out fighting in the middle of the street and they are told to stop their fighting or else they will be banished. Juliet is a Capulet, and her father is hosting a party. Romeo longing for his love Rosaline decides to crash the party. When Romeo meets Juliet, he instantly falls in love. But almost instantaneously Tybalt recognizes Romeo’s voice. “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What! Dares the slave. Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin. To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” (1.5.53-58) From this moment on, Tybalt is out for Romeo.

Tybalt is a Round, Static and Minor character. He is Juliet's cousin and the niece of Lady Capulet. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt is very aggressive and violent. At the beginning of the play Tybalt threatens to bash Romeo’s skull when he sees him at the Capulet’s masked ball but decides to wait for the reason that his Uncle, Lord Capulet, doesn't want to cause a scene, “ I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall now seeming sweet, convert to

Tybalt is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he doesn't like Romeo and is always trying to start a fight with him. Tybalt states “ Romeo, the love i bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villian.... Boy this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done to me; therefore turn and draw “ ( 145 ). In act 3 when Tybalt is trying to pick a fight again Romeo responds with patience and love but when Mercutio steps in everything starts heading downhill. Romeo tries to stop the fight which consequently leads to Mercutio's death. Romeo, full of rage kills Tybalt in return and this is what leads to his banishment. As a result of Tybalt's foolishness he is dead and Romeo has to now suffer the banishment. The banishment is the final straw for Romeo so when he hears Juliet is dead he already isn't thinking straight and doesn't have Friar to turn to this

This example only gives the audience a teasing taste for what is about to happen as a result of Tybalt’s short temper. Fast forwarding to act three, Tybalt’s impulsive behavior is far more drastic and impactful to the play this time around. At the town square of Verona, Tybalt and his compatriots run into Mercutio and Romeo. Still infuriated by Romeo’s presence at his family’s ball, Tybalt decides to vent his anger by challenging Romeo to battle him. When Romeo backs away, Mercutio steps in and fights with Tybalt. After a while of fighting, the distressed Romeo steps in to break it up, but, “Tybalt, reaching under Romeo’s arm, stabs Mercutio and flees” (3.1.82). Mercutio announces that, “I am hurt” (3.1.83), and eventually dies. After witnessing his friend be slaughtered, Romeo seeks revenge on Tybalt, and subsequently slays the murderer of his best friend. As a result of Romeo’s actions, the inamorato is banished to Mantua. When putting the pieces together, the audience watching the play can see how Tybalt, and not Romeo, is responsible for the banishment. Romeo was simply seeking to avenge the life of his friend, while Tybalt’s actions were a direct result of violent thinking. Tybalt’s choice to fight and kill one of the play’s main characters highlights the high degree of his vicious personality. Tybalt’s actions end up dooming the peaceful partnership of Romeo and Juliet and thus the outcome of the play takes a turn for the

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

Tybalt’s purpose in the play is to cause conflict by dragging on the long time, since dormant feud between the two households. This is shown at the Capulet’s party when he goes to start a quarrel with the Montagues and Lord Capulet’s family stops Tybalt from starting trouble and says this is a time for love not war. Tybalt sees Romeo and straight away thinks of him as a threat and thinks that Romeo is challenging him by just being at the party. He brings Romeo’s presence to the attention of Lord Capulet in order to cause conflict. This is an example of how Tybalt is a character that does not have the ability to just forget about the whole feud and find a way to settle it; he just seeks revenge on any member of the Montague family.

Acting on selfish desires can result in violent actions. When one is overcome by grief they tend to act on impulse with revenge in attempt to fill their sorrow, when in fact that only makes the situation worse. In William Shakespheres Romeo and Juliet the fude between Montague and Capulet heats up as Romeo Montague is caught by Tybalt Capulet at a Capulet party. Tybalt selfishly wants to put Romeo in his place. The only way Tybalt negotiates is by war.

He acts as protector and "chief swash-buckler" for the Capulets and he appears to feel that the Montagues represent a great threat to the Capulets. The first time we meet Tybalt is in Act 1, Scene 1, line 66. He enters with his sword drawn and tells Benvolio, both friend and cousin of Romeo, to "turn thee... Look upon thy death." When Benvolio says he has no need to fight and wants to keep the peace, Tybalt responds with, "...talk of peace?

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

Tybalt thinks it an honourable, righteous act to kill any Montague in order to protect the Capulet family name. He takes Romeo's presence as open-faced effrontery and a clear threat to the Capulet family. Lord Capulet orders him not to start a scandal: "I would not for the wealth of all this town here in my house do him disparagement. " Even this train of restraining and soothing comments do not succeed in calming Tybalt's petty and vengeful feelings of hatred for Romeo: "I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall" (Act 1, Scene 5, lines 92-93).

Mercutio, who was a strong believer that no man should back down from a fight and shouldn’t tolerate insults, fought with Tybalt instead of Romeo, getting killed in the end. Another reason why the Capulets were at fault, is that Tybalt entered the scene of the argument full of pride, anger and arrogance. He approached the other men, saying to his followers, “Follow me close, for I will speak to them” (3.1.34.) This quote displays how he told his entourage to look up to him and listen closely as he speaks, as if he were the president, and they were the news reporters. Tybalt then proceeded to mock Romeo and made it seem that he is above and better than all of the Montagues. Tybalt tried to start a fight with a Romeo, but ended up fighting Mercutio and killing him instead.
