(to his PAGE) Fetch me my rapier, boy.—What, dares the slave, Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” Angered by Romeo’s presence, he wants to kill him. Lord Capulet’s forbid Tybalt of causing a fight and Tybalt leaves saying to himself he will have Romeo pay for what he has done. (Act I, scene v)…

When Romeo first appears at the Capulet party, Tybalt instantaneously notices him, and becomes quite angry. Tybalt runs to Lord Capulet, to see he can be granted to permission to remove of Romeo.

    After the lovers finally marry, a terrible fight ensues in which Tybalt kills Mercutio, and as a result, Romeo kills Tybalt. The Prince recently decreed that any more public fights between the Capulet and Montague families would result in punishment by death, and as Tybalt was a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague, it looks as though Romeo should be executed. Instead, the Prince lessens the sentence to banishment, as Mercutio, one of his kinsmen, was among the casualties. Friar Lawrence delivers this wonderful news, but to Romeo, but the youth provides a less than happy response.Instead of being grateful and working with the situation, Romeo complains and insists that banishment is worse than death, even though he will still see his true love and family. Later, he even throws himself on the ground crying, and threatens suicide. Unless he gets exactly what he wants, it is the end of the world for poor Romeo. Similarly, Juliet becomes extremely dramatic when problems arise. After dealing with Romeo’s banishment, her parents try to make Juliet happy again, but get the wrong idea for her happiness. They decide to arrange a marriage between her and a rich Count, not knowing she is already married to someone she loves. After a brutal argument between Juliet and her parents, the young woman quickly goes to the Friar. Instead of calmly explaining the situation Juliet, enters and demands. Although she does…

    Shakespeare’s famous tragedy Romeo and Juliet highlights the topics of loyalty, honor, and interests, and how a misinterpretation of them can lead to devastating results. Mercutio, Tybalt and Benvolio are all characters in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. Of the three, Mercutio and Benvolio are good friends of Romeo, the protagonist. Tybalt is, however, from an opposing house, the Capulets, who have been feuding with Romeo’s house, the Montagues, for decades. While both Mercutio and Tybalt can be considered the competitor archetype, Benvolio acts as a foil through the peacekeeper, or mediator archetype. In this tragedy, Shakespeare uses the comparison of Mercutio, Tybalt, and Benvolio to prove that, though honor seems like a worthy cause to, the safety and interests of oneself and one’s loved ones must take first priority.…

    During the play, Benvolio and Tybalt are two very different characters. The two characters names tell us a lot about how they act. Benvolio’s name is derived from the word benevolent, which indicates that he is a kind and caring character. Whereas Tybalt’s name uses harsh sounding plosives at the beginning and end of it, which suggests he will be harsher than Benvolio. Tybalt uses words such as “hate”,…
