Romeo And Juliet Character Analysis

In the play “Romeo & Juliet” shakespeare portrayed all aspects of love throughout different characters. Each character carries its own meaning of love which is what makes this play unique. Romeo,Nurse, and Tybalt all represent divergent love.The word Love can come in all sorts of ways which is why it is such a diverse word. Love is a powerful term that can be portrayed as deep affection, devotion, and even heartbreak.

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

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.

Tragedy, events of great misfortune, has engulfed the world for centuries. Tragedy often giving rise to feelings of depression, anger, sorrow, and guilt. Romeo, in the tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, is a wealthy adolescent of the Montague family. He falls in love with young Juliet, of his rival family—the Capulets. Romeo’s infatuation with Juliet leads to a hasty desire for marriage. This creates a rash and careless mindset, making Romeo susceptible to errors in judgement. This same poor judgment causes Romeo to thoughtlessly slay Tybalt, as revenge for the death of his friend, Mercutio. Through fate, Romeo coincidentally falls in love with a Capulet, his family’s

Emotion is a wild card in life. It almost always influences people to make bad decisions in their life, and causes harm to not only the host, but to many other people around them. In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt are all very emotional characters which conclusively lead to all of their deaths, as well as to the deaths of many other people around them. Because of these characters newly drawn emotion, they made decisions that would have been previously considered ludicrous and idiotic. Throughout the exceptional play of Romeo and Juliet, it is ultimately proven that emotion is the enemy when it comes to decision making.

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most.

No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

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

Of all the things that occur in Romeo and Juliet, the death of Tybalt is one of the most climatic parts of the story. Yet, this all started from another killing of a different person, Mercutio. Mercutio, a relative of the Prince and friend of Romeo, and Tybalt, nephew to Lady Capulet and Mercutio’s arch enemy, were in a heated conversion when Romeo walked in after getting married to Juliet and saw what was going on. Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight and Romeo tried to come in between them to stop the whole thing. Unfortunately, as Tybalt was under Romeo’s arms, he stabbed Mercutio and he died soon after. In all the rage, Romeo was furious that his friend was dead and starts to fight with Tybalt.

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was

In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet, a tale of two star-crossed lovers fall victim to their family’s rivalry. Romeo’s love for Juliet clouded his common sense, and made him act too swiftly on his decisions which caused tragedy. Romeo’s impulsive behavior which he learned from his family in the rivalry, negatively affects three characters in the play. Romeo’s emotionally decided decisions caused the death of Mercutio, Tybalt, Juliet, and himself.

Tybalt hates the Montagues and always tries to find fault with them. Tybalt shows a considerable amount of impetuousness when he instigates a fight with Mercutio. Tybalt overlooks the outcome of the sword fight and becomes more confident even after slaying Mercutio. “Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here, Shall him hence. (Act 3 Scene 1 Line 126-127) Tybalt underestimates Romeo and this is the tragedy that takes place for Tybalt’s rash actions. A second act of Tybalt’s impetuousness is when he desires to fight with Romeo during the Capulet party. “It fits such a villain is a guest: I’ll not endure him.” (Act 1 Scene 5 Line 74-75) Tybalt displays his rash actions and his hot headed mind when he sees Romeo at the party. Eventually, Capulet calms Tybalt and claimed that Romeo will do no harm. Tybalt is a compassionate person, but demonstrates impetuousness that affects the protagonists in a negative

Tybalts causes problems, always wants to be in fights, and is hot headed but he protects the Capulet name. The first time Tybalt ever appears in this play is Act 1 Scene 1 getting into a fight basically starting the fight. Tybalt starts off this whole societal problem he is looking for Romeo so he can start a fight for going to the Capulet party and hanging out with Juliet little does he know Juliet and Romeo just got married. When he finds Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio he tries to start a fight Romeo doesn’t want to fight because now Tybalt and him a cousins but Mercutio and Benvolio know Romeo will never back down from a fight so Mercutio steps up and gets killed.

Throughout the story many misfortunes occur, but Tybalt, Mercutio and Romeo are the first characters who negatively affect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. When Tybalt comes to confront Romeo, Romeo handles things well and the conflict is almost completely resolved until Mercutio butts in. He begins to taunt Tybalt and his anger gets the best of him. The fight Mercutio starts with Tybalt results in his and Tybalt’s death and Romeos banishment. The death of Romeos best friend causes him to lash out at Tybalt and kill him. If he had not done this and just contained his anger he would have never been banished and separated from Juliet.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is
