William Shakespeare 's Romeo And Juliet

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.

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.

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.

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

Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide. Regardless, others argue that Romeo and Juliet should be held accountable for their ultimate decision. Then again, there is no definite reason to assign fault to Romeo and Juliet. Not only are their brains not fully developed, but pressures from outside forces caused such stress within the relationship.

Tybalt could have made different decisions that would have led to a better outcome. He and Mercutio might not have died, Romeo would not have been banished, Juliet would not have needed Friar Lawrence’s foolhardy plan, and Romeo and Juliet would not have died. Furthermore, if Tybalt did not let his pride get the best of him, the disastrous outcomes of the duel would not have happened. However, Shakespeare did want a tragedy, and that is what he wrote. “For never was there a story of more woe/ Than this of Juliet and her Romeo”

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

Tybalt’s purpose in the play is to cause conflict by dragging on the long time, since dormant feud between the two households. This is shown at the Capulet’s party when he goes to start a quarrel with the Montagues and Lord Capulet’s family stops Tybalt from starting trouble and says this is a time for love not war. Tybalt sees Romeo and straight away thinks of him as a threat and thinks that Romeo is challenging him by just being at the party. He brings Romeo’s presence to the attention of Lord Capulet in order to cause conflict. This is an example of how Tybalt is a character that does not have the ability to just forget about the whole feud and find a way to settle it; he just seeks revenge on any member of the Montague family.

Tybalt insults Romeo, but in turn, Romeo tells Tybalt his love for him,¨ Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeting. Villain am I none. Therefore farewell; I see thou knowest me not¨ (3.1.61-64). Romeo does not want to fight Tybalt because Tybalt does not yet know that he and Romeo are related. Romeo is married to Juliet, which Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and does not want to cause anything to disturb the marriage.Romeo says this to keep his marriage safe in a secret manner, but also to show Tybalt that the fighting isn't necessary. Tybalt being his normal fiery prince self still pushed Romeo for a

Tybalt challenged Romeo to a fight because he was offended that Romeo as a Montague loved his Capulet cousin, Juliet. Tybalt said. “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries, that thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.” Romeo was not going to fight so Mercutio fought Tybalt instead to defend Romeo’s honour but Mercutio was killed. To take his Revenge Romeo fought Tybalt to the death and won.

Mercutio, who was a strong believer that no man should back down from a fight and shouldn’t tolerate insults, fought with Tybalt instead of Romeo, getting killed in the end. Another reason why the Capulets were at fault, is that Tybalt entered the scene of the argument full of pride, anger and arrogance. He approached the other men, saying to his followers, “Follow me close, for I will speak to them” (3.1.34.) This quote displays how he told his entourage to look up to him and listen closely as he speaks, as if he were the president, and they were the news reporters. Tybalt then proceeded to mock Romeo and made it seem that he is above and better than all of the Montagues. Tybalt tried to start a fight with a Romeo, but ended up fighting Mercutio and killing him instead.

Lord Capulet, being of a higher power than Tybalt, gives him clear orders to obey. Tybalt defies Lord Capulet’s orders by stirring up trouble with Romeo. Shakespeare foreshadows conflict between Romeo and Tybalt by emphasizing his naive and defiant behavior towards Lord Capulet. In a later scene, Tybalt acts impulsively and kills Mercutio as a result of his naivety. Romeo begins to disregard his initial intentions, and acts upon his rage.

Shakespeare probably lived in one of the worst times to be alive. Considering that majority of what was happening was not good, he used it to his advantage. Numerous diseases and sicknesses, natural remedies and herbs and most importantly witchcraft. He somehow incorporated all these things into Romeo and Juliet. Assuming his creativity got the best of him, he used all these things in his play and they also played huge parts in his story. All things considered these three important factors in Romeo and Juliet have more history than people thought.

A few not-so-friendly jokes between the two feuding families lead to the death of Tybalt of the Capulet family and Mercutio of the royal family and friend of the Montague family. The fight was initially between Mercutio and Tybalt with many people watching and rooting for one of the two. Romeo eventually intervened to try and protect Mercutio. It gave Tybalt a chance to strike Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm. Tybalt and his crew walked away thinking he was fine. Mercutio said it was only a scratch before eventually falling and dying. Romeo got very angry by his friend’s death and wanted to avenge him. He ran after Tybalt and challenged him to a sword fight. The fight went on for

First of all, I blame Romeo. Throughout the play, he made a lot of choices and bad decisions, and they all led up to the result that occurred. For example, after Tybalt slays Mercutio, Romeo says “Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him” (Act 3, Scene 1). This is him deciding that he must fight Tybalt until one, or both of them is dead. If Romeo had just left it alone and didn’t kill Tybalt, he wouldn’t have been banished, and Juliet wouldn’t have had to fake her death, leading to both Romeo and Juliet killing themselves.
