Tybalt In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Since the fathers from both families dislike each other, they have caused death in the young lovers' lives because of many disputes. According to Document C, “The feud has caused deaths between Tybalt and Mercutio.” Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin and Mercutio is Romeo’s friend. Due to Mercutio's pun-filled language and tough personality, he starts the brawl between himself and Tybalt. While Mercutio is dying, he sends

First of all, Tybalt was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Tybalt killed Mercutio, that evoked Romeo to kill Tybalt. With the killing of Tybalt, Romeo was banished to Mantua. In scene II of the play, Tybalt and Mercutio fought. Tybalt was fighting because Romeo crashed the Capulet’s party along with Benvolio, and Mercutio was fighting for the sake of Romeo’s honor. Tybalt

Tybalt is a very vengeful character. When tybalt and Mercutio fight, Mercutio gets stabbed and dies which will cause Romeo go crazy. “Why the devil come you between us? I was hurt under your arm.”(3.1.70) with these words, Romeo feels guilty about his best friend's death, that was mainly caused because Romeo denied fighting Tybalt.

. 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.

In addition to Juliet’s parents, Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, instigated a fight between himself and Romeo. This is what caused Romeo to be banished from Verona to Mantua. This is what started Juliet wanting to leave Verona to be with Romeo in Mantua. This started Romeo not finding out about Juliet faking her death and then awakening to go be with Romeo. Tybalt is an instigator, troublemaker, and fighter, and a reader may label him as unforgiving. If he would have found out about Romeo and Juliet he might have disagreed with both of them. If one were to wondered when Romeo and Tybalt fought, one would find it in Act three Scene one. In lines sixty-nine through seventy-three, Romeo confesses to Tybalt that they are in fact related and Romeo is married to Juliet. Tybalt did not even catch on to what Romeo was talking about. Tybalt comes off as arrogant. In some ways Romeo and Tybalt are very

In Shakespeare's “The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” Tybalt is responsible for his own death due to the fact that all his actions are leading up to this one draining event. Tybalt was filled with rage and had an uncontrollable temper. He was arrogant enough to ignore the prince knowing the consequences soon to follow and came back to fight anyways, knowing what he had inflicted.

In act 1 scene 1, Tybalt says “As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. meaning he hates the Montague and wanted to fight them.” If tybalt wouldn't hate as much as he did he would have been nice and wouldn't always start fights with the montague with later on wouldn’t lead to Mercutio's death or his very own.

Secondly, the ‘ancient grudge’ between the two household is an aspect of fate that can be deemed responsible for the lovers’ deaths. Shakespeare describes the feud between the Montagues and Capulets as ancient, meaning it has been going on for a very long time. Consequently, there were ongoing brawls occurring in the streets of Verona and as a result of this feud many characters are driven to extreme behaviours, including Tybalt and Mercutio. If this ancient grudge had not existed then there would be no reason for them to have a duel, however, as it did exist they had no other choice. Tybalt is furious that Romeo, a Montague, had come into the Capulet household and wanted to take action. He decided to duel with Romeo but as he didn’t want to Mercutio accepted the offer. This specific duel between Tybalt and Mercutio was the undoing of the lovers’ lives. After Tybalt had killed Mercutio, Romeo felt pity and sought revenge and ended up killing Tybalt

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

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

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.

Tybalt in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, Tybalt, the nephew of Capulet's wife (hence Juliet's cousin) is very close to the Capulet family and will therefore do anything to protect the family pride. Tybalt thinks that the Montagues are the canker of Verona ; he deems their mere presence in Capulet company to be a personal insult on the latter's family 'honour and stock' (he paranoically assumes that Romeo's attendance of the Capulet's masked ball is solely 'to fleer and scorn at our solemnity'). Tybalt is the only young Capulet male that is fully

Shakespeare uses Tybalt’s interactions will the other characters as a way to show that he always has rage toward Montagues, and is prepared to fight at any time needed. In the text, Mercutio and Tybalt are about to fight when Romeo goes in between them, in efforts to break up the fight, it only resulted in Tybalt stabbing Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm, quickly turning into his death (3.1.59). In other words, Tybalt is trying to prove to Romeo that he wants nothing to do with peace and he came there to brawl. With Tybalt stabbing Mercutio, it ultimately gave Romeo a reason to get fired up and start a fight with him, which is what Tybalt went there to do. Tybalt is trying to enrage Romeo, giving him an almost guaranteed fight in doing so.

Even though Tybalt, who came from the Capulets, was the one who killed Mercutio, both families were responsible for the death. Mercutio’s last words portray that his death was Romeo’s fault, as much as Tybalt’s fault, for closing the gap between the two rival families. In Act 3 Scene 1, Tybalt called Romeo a villain, “No better term than this: thou art a villain” (3.1.57.) During that time, being called a villain was a terrible insult which could have started a fight. Romeo decided to ignore this comment, from Tybalt because of his relationship with Juliet. Mercutio on the other hand

Just as in the fight with Mercutio, there were instances where Tybalt could’ve killed Romeo, but he chose not to. Tybalt is constantly on defense against Romeo’s attacks, rather than rushing forward and attacking him. When Romeo succeeds in killing Tybalt, the audience mourns for the loss of Tybalt instead of feeling fulfillment. This is all due to the characterization of Tybalt. In the play, his negative character traits makes it easier for the audience to despise him and sympathize with the leading
