Tybalt's actions and the consequences caused by his death prove that he’s most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s tragic conclusion. This argument is about how Tybalt’s actions, which lead to his death, ultimately influenced and caused the deaths of Romeo and Juliet compared to other characters and variables. This persuasive essay will discuss the Capulet’s early marriage arrangement for Juliet, Romeo’s banishment from Venora, Friar Lawrence’s potion, opposing arguments, the tragic ending, and how Tybalt is the most responsible for these major events. Tybalt holds the most influence and responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of his explosive behavior, the consequences of Mercutio’s death and Romeo’s banishment, and even when …show more content…

However, Tybalt is most responsible because Romeo would still have fought him and it would still result in banishment, even without Friar marrying Romeo and Juliet. The third reason, that will answer to the opposing argument, is that Tybalt is still at fault because even if Friar didn’t marry Romeo and Juliet, Romeo would have instead been angry at Tybalt’s insults and fought him at that moment, which would still conclude with Tybalt’s death. The only difference would be that Mercutio is alive rather then dead. The first example to support the third reason is after Tybalt flees when accidentally killing Mercutio, Romeo thinks out loud about how he wished he would have fought Tybalt early and how his love for Juliet has made him effeminate and softened him.

Finally, the third reason discussed how the opposing argument, that Friar is actually at fault compared to Tybalt, is incorrect and that Tybalt is the character, without considering groups of characters or concepts, is most to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death. It is argued that Romeo would have still killed Tybalt if Friar had not married Romeo and Juliet, examples used to prove this are Romeo explaining how Juliet has softened him and that the major items that cause the tragic ending still ultimately point to Tybalt being at fault. Because of Tybalt’s short-tempered attitude, influence of Mercutio’s death and his own, and still to blame even when compared to Friar Lawrence, proves that Tybalt caused the most impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The reader should now believe that when comparing and analyzing individual characters, Tybalt becomes most responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and
