Tybalt Capulets Responsible For The Death In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

. Firstly, Tybalt is to blame for Mercutio’s death as he actually gave him the wound that killed him. Also, Tybalt provokes Mercutio by insulting Romeo, ‘Thou art a villain.’ This is one of the biggest insults that Tybalt can give and would usually be followed by a duel. However, Romeo calmly replies by saying ‘Villain I am none / Therefore farewell. I see thou know’st me not.’ Because Romeo is not defending his honour, Mercutio is provoked by Tybalt’s insults and starts insulting Tybalt himself. This is what leads to the two of them fighting and Mercutio getting his fatal wound. So, if Tybalt didn’t insult Romeo or fight Mercutio, Mercutio wouldn’t have been killed.

What if the deaths in the play “Romeo and Juliet” play by William Shakespeare weren’t actually caused by Romeo and Juliet? There are many characters that had an influence on the deaths from behind the scenes. The complications that they made had effects that caused all hope of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship being successful to come crashing down.If that is the case then some of the other characters in the play are directly responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. It could even be someone from the family. If Romeo never knew about or got kicked out of the party then he never would’ve met Juliet in the first place. Tybalt wouldn’t have gotten mad and Juliet would have been okay with Paris marrying her. Lord Capulet is responsible for

Moments before, Romeo thinks that he could never harm Tybalt, as he has married Juliet, Tybalt now his kin. Romeo states that he “love[s] [Tybalt] better than [Tybalt] canst devise” (3.1.70). But by the death of his dear friend, instead of his love for Tybalt, his heart now despises him. His anger is shown when “for Mercutio’s soul is but a little way above [their] heads,” as his hate is born towards Tybalt, whom he had just moments before loved, stating that “[his] name [he] tender as dearly” as his own (3.1.72-73,131-132). His hate turns murderous as he tells Tybalt that Mercutio is “staying for thine to keep him company” (3.1.133). As Romeo states that “thou or I, or both, must go with him” (3.1.134), the duel breaks out, leaving Tybalt slain, his kinsmen now his foe. The hate and revenge that Romeo felt caused love to turn to zeal for Tybalt's blood. His belief that he must not hurt his kinsmen but love him, the reminder that fights were not allowed by the prince, ended with the spilled blood of Mercutio. The death of his friend turned love to hate, the hate that killed

Romeo wants revenge and fights with Tybalt. In this fight, Romeo kills Tybalt. When Romeo realizes the consequences of his actions, he says that he is “Fortune’s fool” (3.1.142). He believes that he has no control over the killings of Mercutio and Tybalt. However, these events are caused by his own rashness. Romeo chooses to fight with Tybalt and even starts the fight. Romeo fights to avenge his friend’s death. Romeo’s actions are rash because he does not consider the results of his actions. Romeo could resolve the conflict in some nonviolent way, but his mind is fixed on killing Tybalt. Romeo is exiled from Verona because he kills Tybalt. His rashness causes problems for his own family as well as for the Capulets and for the Prince. Romeo’s rashness in killing Tybalt leads to his killing himself.

Tybalt is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he doesn't like Romeo and is always trying to start a fight with him. Tybalt states “ Romeo, the love i bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villian.... Boy this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done to me; therefore turn and draw “ ( 145 ). In act 3 when Tybalt is trying to pick a fight again Romeo responds with patience and love but when Mercutio steps in everything starts heading downhill. Romeo tries to stop the fight which consequently leads to Mercutio's death. Romeo, full of rage kills Tybalt in return and this is what leads to his banishment. As a result of Tybalt's foolishness he is dead and Romeo has to now suffer the banishment. The banishment is the final straw for Romeo so when he hears Juliet is dead he already isn't thinking straight and doesn't have Friar to turn to this

Secondly Tybalt sends a decree for a fight and he kills Mercutio. This is shown by “I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I”. This reveals that Mercutio wants to have a fight with Tybalt. Tybalt wants to have a fight with Romeo the most but Mercutio gets in the way. Mercutio feels that he must stand by the Montague’s. He feels he needs to be a true Montague and fight. Romeo retaliates and kills Tybalt in anger and revenge for his friend. This is apparent in the line “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. This conveys that Romeo felt he had to get revenge for Mercutio but he really didn’t mean to kill Tybalt and couldn’t believe that he’d actually done it.

Romeo and Tybalt fight each other and they exchange a conversation in which they say,” Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain’ back again that late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company: either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, shalt with him hence. This shall determine that. [They fight; Tybalt falls]” (Shakespeare, III.i.46). When Mercutio was slain by Tybalt, Romeo chose to stay and try to get revenge for Mercutio’s death. At the time, Romeo was already Tybalt’s kinsman because he and Juliet were already married, and Romeo could have left the scene and let the law do it’s job with Tybalt. However, Romeo was only infatuated with Juliet, and as a result, only realized the impact of his actions after he had killed Tybalt. In addition, Juliet decides to follow Friar Laurence’s plan, in which he tells her to “for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease: no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; … Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift; and hither shall he come” and he and I will watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (Shakespeare, IV.ii.70). Friar Laurence instructs Juliet to take this vial that will fake her death, while he sends a letter to Romeo telling him of this,

In contrast, Mercutio attempts to stop Tybalt’s thirst for vengeance when he tries to duel Romeo but ultimately gets killed in the process of trying to save his good friend from being killed by Tybalt which causes Romeo to take vengeance upon Tybalt by killing him.

In the play of “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespeare, Tybalt is to blame for their deaths, because he killed Mercutio, Romeo's friend, leading to his banishment and Juliet misery/desperation causing her to fall into a deep sleep. Mercutio's death from Tybalt, only resulted from Tybalt provoking and insulting Romeo. As a friend Mercutio defended Romeo but in the end payed the price with his life. Shakespeare suggests that, “My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf. My reputation stain'd With Tybalt’s slander”(Act 3, Scene 1,line 105).

Tybalt began insulting Romeo trying to get him to fight but he kept refusing, until Mercutio stepped in and fought Tybalt himself. Mercutio was then killed and Romeo begins fighting Tybalt and avenging his best friend. When Romeo kills Tybalt the Prince comes in and instead of giving him a death sentence, only exiles him to Mantua. When the Prince announces Romeos punishment he says “ And for that offence/ Immediately we do exile him hence. ”(3.1.185-186).

"This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die" (Act 5, Scene 3, Page 8, Line 184). In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence is involved with the deaths of Romeo and Juliet both physically and mentally. Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris the "next day", making Juliet think about suicidal thoughts. Friar Laurence marries Juliet and Romeo together even though he knows about their family's feud. Friar also tells Juliet about a plan, that directly leads to both of their deaths. Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Mercutio, similar to Tybalt is a fiery combatant, onry, and quick to fight. However, Romeo’s own actions to stop the duel between Mercutio and Tybalt would result in Mercutio motivating Romeo’s rage. Without Mercutio’s desire to battle Tybalt, Romeo never would have discovered his vengeful side. On page 868 of Prentice Hall’s Literature, Volume Two, lines 107-113, Romeo realizes his actions, “This gentleman, the Prince’s near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf-my reputation stained With Tybalt’s slander-Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my cousin. O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soft’ned valor’s steel!” This shows the boiling anger building within Romeo, ultimately brought on by himself and

In Romeo’s lines here he is yelling at Tybalt for killing Mercutio and says that he has to pay for it. After that Romeo and Tybalt get in a fight which leads to the downfall of Tybalt. After the death of Tybalt the Prince banishes Romeo for his crime. The fight between Tybalt (Capulet) and Mercutio (Montague) leads to the downfall of Tybalt and Mercutio. Also Romeo gets banished for these actions

Even though one could not possibly think that a best friend could kill another best friend, it was Mercutio’s decisions that lead to Romeo’s death. Even Mercutio himself paid for his actions by dying before Romeo. However, Mercutio’s death also lead to Romeo’s death in ways that even Romeo didn’t know about. Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, challenged Romeo to a duel a few days before Mercutio’s death. Days later, Tybalt came to fulfill that challenge. However, Romeo, being newly integrated into the Capulet family, did not want to hurt his new relative. Mercutio was a witness to Romeo’s behavior and took it as an insult that Romeo did not take the chance to hurt a Capulet. Mercutio then declares, “O calm, dishonerable, vile submission!...Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?” (III.i.76 - 78). In this instance, Mercutio has just challenged Tybalt to a duel instead of letting Romeo just walk away. This simple line causes Mercutio to be slain in front of Romeo and Tybalt is left alive. This then forces Romeo to mourn and avenge Mercutio before he even has time to think. As a result of Mercutio’s death, Romeo then murders Tybalt, his new relative. This causes the Prince to banish Romeo and prompts other events to occur. An additional occasion as to when Mercutio’s antagonistic behavior comes into play is when they are on the way to the Capulet’s party. Romeo is still depressed about Rosaline at this point at

From that night, Tybalt held a grudge against Romeo until he took his final breath. He often gets so irritated that all rational decisions go out the window, if you make Tybalt upset, he is coming for you. No matter what he has to do. Tybalt spotted Romeo at the Capulet party, which made his rage come out. He continued going after Romeo and his friends, until Tybalt killed Mercutio, which led Tybalt to be killed by Romeo.
