After Romeo was depressed because he liked Rosaline and she didn’t like him back, his cousin Benvolio helped Romeo sneak into a Capulet party so he could get over Rosaline and pick another woman that he might want. As Romeo was describing how Juliet looked to his cousin, Tybalt, Capulet’s nephew, figured out that Romeo was at the party by his voice. He then confronted Capulet and asked him if he could kill him, but surprisingly Capulet lets him stay at the party and calls Romeo a gentleman and a good man (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1 Line 64). Capulet could have captured him or even killed him, but he did not. Capulet stated that Romeo is a well-governed youth and that Romeo is a good man, which shows that Romeo isn’t a person who would cause a commotion and that he causes no threat to the Capulet family. Later on, as Mercutio, the prince's kinsman, is arguing and fighting with Tybalt about him being one of his villain Romeo’s friends, Romeo comes in and says, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such greeting.

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 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.

Get me my sword, boy. -What, does this peasant dare to come here with his face covered by a mask to sneer at and scorn our celebration? Now, by the honor of our family, I do not consider it a crime to kill him.” (Shakespeare 1.5.9). Capulet stopped Tybalt and told him, “You will tolerate him. What, little man? I saw you will. What the- Am I the boss here or you? What the- You won’t tolerate him! God help me! You’ll start a riot among my guests! There will be chaos!” (Shakespeare 1.5.41). So Tybalt took it somewhere else.

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.

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 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).
