Tybalt As A Temperamental Character In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Tybalt is the color red. The color symbolizes many things. It symbolizes passion, violence, and danger. Tybalt is a man who loves a good fight. In the first act, he tries to fuel the servant fight, then he tries to provoke Benvolio to draw his sword. At the party, Tybalt heard Romeo’s voice, and he was nearly in a fight. Tybalt ordered, “Fetch me my rapier, boy” (I, v, 62). Since Tybalt could not fight Romeo at the party, he sent a letter to his house. The letter proposed a duel between him and Romeo. In Act 3, scene 1, Tybalt and his gang walked by. Romeo appeared and Tybalt started calling Romeo names. Romeo stayed calm and attempted to reason with Tybalt; however, Tybalt still wanted to fight. Mercutio challenged Tybalt, then Romeo stepped

Tybalt spots Romeo at the gathering and is enraged by Romeo's actions. He states, "What dares the slave come hither, covered with an antic face, to fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now by stock and honor of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it not a sin." (Act 1, Scene 5, 56-60) In this Tybalt is past the point of wanting to just protect the Capulets, he wants to kill Romeo.

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

Admittedly, Tybalt may have been a victim of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, as all he wanted to do was do what he knew best, which was against any and every Montague there was. Tybalt was just trying to get back at Romeo for sneaking into the Capulet party, even if it did sound idiotic. However, when Tybalt sees Romeo, a Montague, at the party, he is angered and says, “Patience perforce with willful choler meeting/Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting/ I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall/Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall.” (Rom.1.5.88-91)

Tybalt being the person that stabbed and also killed Mercutio, being the one who pushed for a fight when one wasn't needed, and just having a natural temper is what make him responsible for his own death.

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

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Tybalt demonstrates aggressiveness which leads to the tragic ending of the drama by his demanding action when trying to get Romeo to fight him, yelling at the Montagues because they are trying to make peace, and antagonizing Romeo when he decides to leave. Tybalt presents aggressiveness by demanding actions when trying to get Romeo to fight him. Romeo tries to leave, but Tybalt demands he stay telling him to turn and fight, “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries That thou hast done me. Therefore turn and draw” (3.1.67-68). By demanding others, he causes unnecessary chaos which will end up causing destruction, and this is a way he shows his aggressiveness.

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 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).

Does everything he does have a consequence? Tybalt was unkind to people and killed many. In return he deserved to die. By faith he got what he deserved. When you act in a way that is unkind you deserve to have done to you what you did. Why did tybalt die? Who or what killed him? He killed mercutio,so he deserved to to die since he shed the princes cousins blood. He keeps starting fights with the family´s even though the prince said not to. He is a hot head and can get angry fast which can cause problems.

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.

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

I chose to write about Tybalt because I feel he is quite rather an interesting character because his main purpose in the play was to act as an antagonist towards the Montague. However in the play his hate for the Montagues wasn’t justified and just made Tybalt’s hate towards the Montague a mystery. I wrote a journal entry from the perspective of Tybalt and what was going through his mind and thoughts during the start of the play to his death.
