Tybalt Is Responsible For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Decent Essays
In the play “Romeo and Juliet”, Tybalt is responsible for Romeo and Juliets death. I believe Tybalt is responsible because, if he would have just liked Romeo, they would have never got into a fight. Tybalt is responsible because he also started a fight with Romeo. Romeo did nothing wrong. Tybalt was angry because Romeo stepped in front of the fight when Tybalt and Mercutio. Now Tybalt hates Romeo. Romeo did no harm by marrying Juliet. Romeo told Tybalt he did not want to fight, but he did not listen. Tybalt decided to fight Romeo anyways. Another reason Tybalt is responsible is because he doesn’t like Romeo because Romeo is a montague and Tybalt is a capulet. The montagues and the capulets hate each other, so they fight all the time.
