Symbolism Of Tybalt In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Tybal is a person of many personalites, he likes to be mean, but he has a heart. He is cousins with Romeos love, Juliet, and he completly despises Romeo, and all Montegues. He is a very emotional person, but not the good kind of soft emotional. He takes everything he hears, like any soft insult as a reason to fight.

Tybalt addresses Mercutio and Benvolio and asks to have a word with them. Mercutio challenges Tybalt to fight “Make is a word and a blow.”(pg 116) Tybalt believes that Mercutio’s offer to fight does not include a reason. Tybalt asks Mercutio if he is an associate of Romeo. Benvolio attempts to calm the men because they are in a public place. Romeo enters, causing Tybalt to forget the fight because Romeo is the man he was waiting for. Tybalt expresses his abhorrence for Romeo when he says “Thou art a villain”(pg 116) Romeo states that he admires Tybalt for reasons that could end their feud and that Tybalt obviously must not know who he truly is because he is not a villain. Tybalt says “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done me” (pg 116) This statement confuses Romeo because he believes he never injured Tybalt “I do protest I never injured thee”(pg 116) Mercutio draws his sword on Tybalt and reveals he wants to take his life. Tybalt draws his sword and him and Mercutio begin to fight. In an attempt to stop the fighting, Romeo reminds the men about the Prince’s warning and reaches his arm between the fighting

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

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 is very protective and loyal to the Capulets, willing to go to great lengths to fulfil his duties. In act 1 scene 1, Tybalt came into the fight sword swinging, ready to challenge anyone who dares to "scorn at [his] solemnity". He is also willing to lose his own life because of his loyalty to the household. In act 3 scene 1, his role as kinsman to the Capulets is proven as he wants to fight Romeo because of the "harm [he'd] done". This gives him desire to defend their name and honour by being ready to cut down anyone who had threatened the Capulets.

When Tybalt saw Romeo and his friends at the party, he immediately wanted to cause a scene and fight, but since he was stopped, Tybalt wanted to get revenge. He even sent Romeo a

In Act 4 scene 1, Tybalt and Mercutio had a fight, and that fight lead us to a part of why Romeo and Juliet are dead and but my client Tybalt didn’t tell Mercutio to fight him, Romeo and Mercutio were throwing jokes to him and that's why Tybalt got mad. Tybalt didn’t want to fight with Mercutio and we can see that by this line that Tybalt said before the fight started, it was “What wouldst thou have with me?” (3,1,71,71) this shows that Tybalt didn’t start the fight, and he asked Mercutio that what was his problem with him, and Mercutio started to make fun of Tybalt and Mercutio was waiting for Tybalt to get mad and have the opportunity to fight him

The blame game we have all played it before, “Mom! Stacy hit me” “Well Jessica told me to,” and so on until someone else gets the punishment while playing the world's most messed up game of hot potato. In some cases you blame them in a hope that the punishment will be lessened overall. In certain moments the blame is necessary maybe you were framed or falsely accused, but it's not always that simple sometimes, to find who started the problem you have go back and look at the start of it and in Romeo, and Juliet there is one man who caused all the main problems, and his name is Tybalt. You can argue that it was Romeo or Juliet for marrying in such a hurry, and I can agree with you, you can blame the Prince for banishing Romeo and in some degree i can agree with you, but after I explain to you why Tybalt is the main person who started all of these problems you will agree without a shadow of doubt that Tybalt is nothing but a dirty troublemaker who’s hot headed mistakes will result in the

Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare the theme of the story is the powerful nature of love and fate. Tybalt is the secondary character that affected the theme the most. Tybalt effected the theme of fate by Romeo killing him and getting Romeo banished from Verona where Juliet lived. Tybalt also affected the theme by making Juliet reconsider her love for Romeo. Tybalt affected the theme of Romeo and Juliet.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the two main protagonist die due to the actions of their relatives and acquaintances; however the question still lingers of who has the most blood on their hands. The most responsible characters are Tybalt (a capulet servant), and Friar Lawrence. Throughout the play, two feuding houses interfere in the internal affairs of two first-time lovers: Romeo of House Montague and Juliet of House Capulet. Being set in the late 1500’s, a simple argument triggers a chain reaction of hostility. In a faction-based society this may cause a micro civil war, if not resolved quickly. Yet, it is the simple miscommunication which leads to four needless deaths throughout the play.

Envy. Fear. Pride, affection, and lust. These are all emotions. Often times, emotions such as these will affect our actions. When that happens, situations don’t always go according to plan. Which leads to a question with an answer everyone can benefit from; what repercussions result when one emotionally responds to a tense situation? In the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, there are several examples of this. But there is one main event that focuses more on the topic at hand than the others. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt’s actions are mostly caused by his emotions. Even more so when Tybalt rounds up on Romeo. Tybalt tries to fight Romeo after the party that Tybalt thought was trying to crash. Tybalt has a habit of acting upon emotions. When people react

Tybalt wants to fight Romeo because he crashed the party where he met Juliet. Because Tybalt is known for his skilled sword fighting, Mercurio doesn’t believe Romeo will will in this fight so he fights for him. In the beginning is was just a little silly fight but when Romeo enters the scene things get interesting. Romeo decides to try and stop this fight because he thinks he can resolve it; with romeo getting in the middle of the fight with swords in the air, Tybalt’s sword happened to stab Mercutio. This resulted in Mercutio's death, and tempered romeo quite quickly. Romeo chases after Tybalt and fights him. With Romeo’s rage, the fight ends up with Tybalt dead. After the two deaths were revealed, Romeo was to blame for the killings and was banned from his home (Verona). Romeo was able to marry Juliet but would be separated from her forever. Before he must leave Juliet sneaks him into her room so they could sleep together to complete their marriage. After the night, romeo leaves at dawn. A professor named Friar Lawrence was the man who secretly married them, and was soon asked by Juliet to make a potion to make her fall asleep for a period of time so she appears dead. Once she is Buried outside the town she plans to leave home with Romeo. Romeo hears about this and thinks that she is

Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, so he is a Capulet. He's considered to be an amazing swordsman, like on page 91 lines 5-37. At this time, Benvolio and Mercutio are talking about how Romeo is practically dead because Tybalt challenges him to a duel. Not even Romeo's best friends think he can beat the almighty Tybalt. Adding to his intimidating personality, Tybalt is also well known for his short temper. On page 55, TyBalt sees Romeo at the Capulet party and says "It fits when such a villain is a guest. I'll not endure him." These angry words show how mad Tybalt gets when Romeo crashes his family's party. As a result, Tybalt challenges him to a duel. When he confronts Romeo with this challenge, Romeo declines in an effort to keep the peace. However, when Mercutio steps in Tybalt kills him. This is the start of a long series of

Shakespeare makes it very easy to right off Tybalt as nothing more than a villain, but is that all there is to him? Throughout the Shakespearean tale the young Capulet is seen as cruel and evil, but there is certainly more to him. I believe Shakespeare wrote Tybalt in a more detailed way than it seems on the surface. He is more than just a plot device to cause conflict.
