    Tybalt is an easily angered person, he likes to stir up any trouble he can especially with his sworn enemies, the Capulets. Tybalt personally hates the word peace and everything about or related to it, for example he says, “What, drawn and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.” (1.1.65-66). Tybalt is making it clear to the Capulets that he wants to fight and not be peaceful towards them. This is important because Tybalt is not thinking over what could happen in fights like this. If Tybalt was more thoughtful with his decisions he could have lived. Tybalt killed Mercutio while Romeo was trying to help them both make the correct decision about fighting. “Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage! Tybalt,…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt and Mercutio have a duel, and Mercutio dies. We chose to reenact this scene because it causes a most of conflicts and it lets us see the different sides of the characters. Additionally, it separated Romeo and Juliet, leaving them heartbroken. We interpreted Romeo’s character as we did in our play because he is ecstatic that he just married Juliet, which also explains why he skips around the stage. It’s also the reason why Romeo tries to make peace with…

    In Romeo and Juliet, many characters tend to stand out to the ordinary eye. Tybalt is included upon this list of many. I believe Tybalt is indeed the most at fault for the story’s dreadful outcome. Tybalt picked far too many fights with the Montagues, he started a battle that unknowingly would change everything, and continuously tore family from family, and friend from friend. Tybalt picked an abundance of fights with the Montagues. He always starts, or partakes in a duel no matter the time,…

    Mercutio says, “And but one word with one of us? Couple it with something. Make it a word and a blow” (3.1.16-17). Mercutio was saying to Tybalt that if he wants to talk they can talk, but he also wants to fight him. Mercutio saying that to Tybalt makes Tybalt realize that if he needs to fight he will fight back which he does do. Mercutio also says, “O calm dishonourable, vile submissions! Alla stoccata carries it away. (draws sword) Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?”, in Act 3, scene 1,…
