This FIDDS shapes the morale of the inner conflict Romeo has within himself. It illustrates how even though he wants to move on to better things, he is still held up with the thoughts of Rosaline, unable to think about anything else.…

    This shows that Tybalt is self assuring in himself as he tells his uncle Capulet that he will not fight Romeo at the Capulet’s party and it may seem peaceful now but later he will make sure to kill Romeo.

Romeo threatens Tybalt saying that one of them is going to die which makes Tybalt references that a fight should start making Romeo tell Tybalt “This shall determine that.”…
