Tybalt's Soliloquy Analysis
Tybalt’s Soliloquy About Romeo
After Romeo Gives No Response to His Challenge
I abhor thy actions, thy name, and thee;
Tis villain Romeo to whom I speak.
Hercules to Antaeus, I’ll crush thee.
A simple feat, since love is all you seek.
Coz mine believes thee a boy of honour,
O Romeo, oh how quickly thy flees.
Thou must fear thou will emerge a goner,
From my challenge, thou hast no valour I see.
I am fiery Tybalt, I will make you cry.
Hear the whooshing from my sword, as it be,
My guiding hand. And fast as lightning, I, with deliberate speed, will terminate thee.
No longer will this duel be left incomplete,
For fatal fortune will foes finally meet.

In the first quatrain Tybalt expresses his hatred for Romeo and everything about him by saying “thou art a villain” (3.1.58), which is considered a serious insult meaning that Romeo is a pleasantly scoundrel. Tybalt also expresses his power and authority as well as his love for violence when he compares himself to the mighty hero Hercules who overpowered and killed the villainous Giant Antaeus, in this case Romeo. Tybalt also mocks Romeo for loving love more than love should be loved, as Romeo can only be satisfied with love and his love is ever changing. In the second quatrain Tybalt displays how lowly he thinks of Romeo who has seemingly fled from his challenge. Tybalt also expresses how ridiculous he thinks his uncle (referred to as coz), who thought that Romeo was a “portly gentleman” (1.5.65) and therefore stopped him from confronting Romeo at the party. In the third quatrain Tybalt demonstrates how much he loves conflict and fighting and “[hates] the word [peace]”
