Relationship Between Benvolio And Tybalt In Act 1

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

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

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 want. 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 confronted 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 villain 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,

William Shakespeare created and developed the Character Tybalt as a foil for Benvolio in his play Romeo and Juliet. The two characters share some important similarities, examples of these include the fact that Tybalt and Benvolio are cousins to the main roles Romeo and Juliet (Tybalt is cousin to Juliet and Benvolio is cousin to Romeo), They are both very family oriented, this means that they both are loyal supporters of their family and family name. Some differences in character regarding Tybalt and Benvolio are that while Tybalt is Insensitive, Benvolio is good-hearted. Whenever Tybalt is eager to fight, Benvolio comes in to save the day and tries to make peace. And While Tybalt Doesn’t care about the effects that his actions have on others,

The scene opens with a brawl between the servants from the Montague and Capulet households. Benvolio, Romeo’s cousin, attempts to stop the fight but is drawn into the fray by Tybalt, kinsman of the Capulets. More citizens become involved and the fight escalates rapidly and soon the heads of both household appear on the scene. The riot is stopped when Prince Escalus arrives and forbids anymore outbreaks of violence on pain of death.

In addition to Juliet’s parents, Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, instigated a fight between himself and Romeo. This is what caused Romeo to be banished from Verona to Mantua. This is what started Juliet wanting to leave Verona to be with Romeo in Mantua. This started Romeo not finding out about Juliet faking her death and then awakening to go be with Romeo. Tybalt is an instigator, troublemaker, and fighter, and a reader may label him as unforgiving. If he would have found out about Romeo and Juliet he might have disagreed with both of them. If one were to wondered when Romeo and Tybalt fought, one would find it in Act three Scene one. In lines sixty-nine through seventy-three, Romeo confesses to Tybalt that they are in fact related and Romeo is married to Juliet. Tybalt did not even catch on to what Romeo was talking about. Tybalt comes off as arrogant. In some ways Romeo and Tybalt are very

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.

At the beginning of the play, Benedick appears as almost a comic character, acting as if the most important part of his character is his wit. However, by the end of the play it becomes obvious that he is a clear-thinking character who is able to take action and keep his head in a crisis.

“‘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.

In the book Much Ado About Nothing, there are two friends Claudio and Benedick, who are very different yet have many similarities. Claudio on the one hand was as one would say the romantic but Benedick on the other hand was an arrogant ladies man.

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.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare. Many characters have contrasting personalities. Romeo, for example, is a young Montegue. He is the main character and tragic hero. Romeo falls in love with Juliet, a capulet, the Montigue’s enemy. Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin, making him and Romeo enemies. Tybalt is the villain, as he tries to kill Romeo. Romeo and Tybalt are completely opposite.

In Act 1, Scene 4, Mercutio gives a long speech about a tiny fairy named Queen Mab. After Romeo and Mercutio trade insults and a bit of naughty talk about love, in particular, what to do when “love pricks like a thorn”. Mercutio's solution? "If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.

Shakespeare uses Tybalt’s interactions to build suspense in the play. For example, when Mercutio was complimenting his fighting skills we never expected him to fight Tybalt if he thinks he is a good fighter. Why would you fight someone if you know that you have a serious chance at losing. Mercutio said himself, “More than prince of cats. O, he’s the courageous captain of compliments.

Have you ever experience being tricked by your friends in believing someone secretly has feelings for you? In Much Ado Nothing the play has plenty of trickery leading on into love and romance. For instance Prince, Claudio, and Leonato imposed Benedick by making him believe Beatrice was deeply in love with Benedick. Deception occurred in this scenario because they fooled Beatirce and Bendick fall in love by making them supposed they had love for one another but this was a false statement invented by Claudio, Prince, Leonato, Hero, and Margaret.
