Romeo and Juliet
The only thing that’s going through my mind right now is surviving and I know that forming alliances will lead me to victory. If I had to choose a partner it would be Tybalt and not Romeo.

Tybalt is violent and at the same time he is courageous. While he was enjoying himself at the Capulet ball he noticed someone’s voice and the way they spoke, that they were a Montague and not a Capulet. He requested that someone should fetch his sword and called out “Now by the stock and honor of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it now a sin” and was very angry (1.5,55). This quotation shows that he is violent because it tells us that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill someone and even he did, he wouldn’t think of it as a sin. This is a very important character trait to have when participating in the Hunger Games because the whole objective of it is to be the last one alive. If he’s willing to kill someone because they attended a ball, he will have no doubt if he had to kill an enemy and with those actions it will bring us far in the game. In addition, he is also courageous because when two servants of the Capulet’s household and two servants of the Montague’s were fighting, he arrived at the scene and instantly got involved insulting the Montague’s. He shouted “What, are thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio! Look up thy death” (1.1,58). This shows that he is courageous because when he saw the conflict and his friends, his first instincts were to get involved and give them some back up. Tybalt would be a great asset because it shows me that if I were in trouble he would come and rescue me. He would stand up and try to defend me if someone was targeting me, making me feel more confident.

Romeo is peaceful and extremely poetic. When he was talking to his cousin about why he was so depressed, they see men being carried on stretchers and that’s when Romeo started explaining to Benvolio what he was feeling. He said, “Yet tell me not, for I have herd it

    Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo and started calling him a villain and other things like that. When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight. Tybalt says “No better term than this: thou art a villain.”(3.1.57-63) That is when Tybalt gives his reason he wants to fight Romeo. When Tybalt kills Mercutio that’s when Romeo loses it and that is the reason Juliet faked her death. And after Romeo finds out that’s when he wants to kill himself also. Tybalt had a very big impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…

    Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, was the living embodiment of the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. He represents the hatred the families share towards each other, showing how he has learnt from birth to hate the Montague family. He is seen as the instigator of countless events with Romeo and his friends, even killing Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio. After killing Mercutio, in an act of revenge Romeo kills Tybalt. Juliet, regardless of being related to Tybalt, even knows that Romeo “lives, that Tybalt would have slain, And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain [her] husband” (Shakespeare 3.2.115-118).…

    In William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo and Tybalt are great examples of foil characters, they contrast with each other in different ways, like motivations, traits, and actions. Romeo exemplifies emotions like love, passion, and impulsivity. While traits such as an aggressive nature, a strict disciplinary code, and loyalty to your family are more important to Tybalt, they are not. The constantly contrasting motivations of the two is a great reason why they are considered…

    Romeo and Juliet are now husband and wife, making Romeo Tybalt’s cousin. In “Romeo and Juliet,” Romeo didn’t tell Tybalt that he and Juliet got married, so maybe that was the problem because if he had told Tybalt, maybe he would not fight with Romeo and have called truce between each other and Tybalt wouldn’t have died. However, Romeo didn’t tell, so Tybalt ended up killing Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend. He couldn’t protect Mercutio because he couldn't fight back since that’s Juliet’s cousin. Romeo then later changed his way and got revenge on Tybalt for killing his best friend. As an outcome, Tybalt died because of Romeo’s friendship for Mercutio over his love for…

    The tragedy Romeo and Juliet boasts a wide assortment of characters. Many of whom are often at odds with one another. Three characters in particular, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Benvolio, are three very different men, and are driven by impulses and their different characteristics. Tybalt is driven by his rage and craving for violence, Mercutio is driven by his friendship with Romeo, and Benvolio is often driven by his love for peace. But these men do share one common trait, loyalty. Tybalt, Mercutio, and Benvolio are loyal to their families and their friends without question and with great passion.…

    How does Shakespeare use language and dramatic effects to in Act 1, Scene 1 and Act 3, Scene 1 of Montague family. Later in Act One Scene Five he authenticates that all that is ever on his mind is war as when he sees Romeo at the Capulet party (Romeo being a Montague and therefore not wanted), instead of letting it pass as a party in Elizabethan times and today is no place for fighting, he asks Capulet for permission to fight him there and then - "Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe; a villain, that is hither come in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night." This quote demonstrates Tybalt's willingness to vehemently insult others and the "s" sounds he uses suggests he is almost hissing his hatred. Throughout the play Tybalt is extremely one-dimensional when it comes to language; when he speaks it as always at a dramatic or leading up to a dramatic point in the play. Maybe due to the similar circumstances that he speaks in or the fact that he is a warrior and no poet he repeatedly speaks in blank verse (or prose)…

    The things that happened before, during, and after Tybalt’s death were both acts of fate and acts of Romeo’s free will, therefore the whole situation is a paradox. Most, but not all of the events leading up to Romeo killing Tybalt was fate simply just setting up a situation where Romeo would have the opportunity to kill Tybalt. All the factors that went into Romeo and Tybalt fighting such as the timing and placement of people and things, and the interactions between people were predetermined with the exception of one or two factors that were results of Romeo’s choice. The actual killing of Tybalt though, unlike the previous events, was completely Romeo’s choice. Romeo may not have chosen to be put in that situation, and may not have been able to control all the…

    Fate, most people don’t even believe in it; in fact some don’t even know what it is. There are many definitions of Fate, but most seem to revolve around something like a force—in which no one can control—in life. But one of the few people—in that small percentage—that do believe in fate, so happens to include William Shakespeare himself, and he tries to proof Fate to be true through figurative language and incidents, in his book Romeo and Juliet. This story is about two families, very similar to one another, but yet different, for sadly, a family feud keeps them apart. The son and daughter of each family fall in love and due to all the pressures they feel from their family and others, they die, side by side in their unfortunate love.…
