Monologue of Tybalt
Monologue of Tybalt the Capulet

I am Tybalt, a Capulet and cousin of Juliet. I am known as short-tempered, impulsive, and a vengeful person, I draw my sword anytime I can. However I am loyal beyond words and honour the family rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues with great heart. I will never betray the Capulets. On the day of Capulets’ party Romeo showed up. I recognised Romeo through his disguise at the Capulets’ ball. I can’t remember that we invited him to our party. Why is Romeo here? What is his intention of showing up at my Uncle Capulet’s ball? He is a Montague and I loathe all the Montague because they are our enemy. He is not allowed to come to our party. I would have killed him or make him leave the ball immediately if not forbidden by my uncle. He stopped me because he didn’t want to make a scene at the party. I could have choose to disobey my uncle but if I do that he will be mad at me so I have no choice but listened to my uncle. However I won’t let him live so easily I will make his life miserable. I will take revenge on him next time I meet him. Therefore I have a plan, I will fight Romeo at the city centre but I will be banished if I start a fight with him. In that case I will provoke Romeo at the city centre of Verona so he will start a fight with me. When the prince found out that Romeo starts a fight with me he will banish Romeo from Verona forever instead of me. I sent a challenge letter to Romeo for a duel to the death and vowed to meet him later on. I didn’t know if Romeo will show up but I went off to look for him after the masked ball. Instead of finding Romeo I found his friends, Benvolio and Mercutio. After Romeo arrived, I confronted him to fight with me, but he refused. But his friend Mercutio winded me up after that so I started a fight with him. Romeo tries to stop us, but I stab Mercutio. I ran away after I stabbed Mercutio but I still have my sight set on killing

    In this scene Mercutio gets killed tempting Romeo to kill Tybalt which gets Romeo banished. But in this scene the feud is actually strengthened, this is because the scene just made the two families hate each other more. In the text Lady Capulet said “Of my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true, For blood of ours shed blood of Montague” (III.i 111-112). Lady Capulet is specifically asking the prince to kill one of the Montagues.…

    After the chaotic brawl (1.1) Romeo still took the risk of attending the Capulet's feast for meeting Rosaline. In order to protect Tybalt's kin he had to act recklessly when he saw Romeo at their feast. He said, "What, dares the slave/Come hither, with an antic face, /To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?" (1.5.54-56). When Tybalt saw Romeo he expressed his insecurity about a Montague invading their celebration. He also said, "Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, /To strike him dead I hold it not a sin" (1.5.57-58). Here Tybalt's aggressive reaction was reasonable as Romeo was a Montage, his foe. When Lord Capulet prevents Tybalt from attacking Romeo for intruding their feast, he…

    We should also really blame Tybalt, which is the troublemaker, for the death of star-crossed lovers. Tybalt had always started some brawls with the Montague. The day of the party had come, the Capulets welcomed guests to the party and invited everyone to get their groove on. While everybody was having a good time, Romeo saw Juliet dancing and fell in love at first sight. Meanwhile, Tybalt recognized Romeo. Blood boiled and his temper went up. Tybalt told Lord Capulet that he was going to beat up Romeo for crashing their party. Lord Capulet ordered him to relax and to leave Romeo alone. Romeo seemed to be a nice enough kid. Plus, Lord Capulet wisely told him that parties get ruined by opening brawls. Tybalt swore he will make Romeo pay for this…

    First, if they did not have a feud Tybalt would have never challenged Romeo to a duel. It was the feud that made Tybalt hate the Montagues. He thought that because Romeo was a Montague he should have never went to the party and it made him angry that he did. Next, Juliet’s family hated Romeo more after he killed Tybalt. Romeo did not have a chance at seeing Juliet, if her family saw him they wanted him dead because they thought the banishment was not enough of a punishment for killing Tybalt. Lastley, Lady Capulet said “For blood of ours shed blood of Montague,” when she learned Romeo killed Tybalt. They wanted Romeo dead after they heard he killed Tybalt. Juliet could not let her family know that she just married Romeo because they would never approve and they could not see each other. Since they couldn’t see each other Juliet made a plan for them to escape together but it failed and Romeo ended up killing himself before she woke up and then she killed herself. They could not see each other because of the long lasting feud and because of that Romeo and Juliet ended up both committing…

    Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge for the death of his friend, Mercutio. The Prince then utters a decree, banishing Romeo from Verona. Romeo doesn't know what decree the Prince has made. In Act 3 Scene 3, Romeo hears the news of his banishment from the Friar. He says that exile is far worse than death because he has to live without Juliet (Romeo and Juliet 3.3). " Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death" For exile is hath more terror in his look, much more than death. Do not say banishment" (Shakespeare 156). Romeo says he would rather die than be banished and tries to kill himself. Romeo's stubbornness is shown when he doesn't listen to the wise Friar's advice on how thankful he should be for not being sentenced to death. He is also stubborn for deciding that killing himself will solve the hardships and problems he faces now. He fails to realize how blessed he is for staying alive. He doesn't consider alternatives, such as: he would be able to meet Juliet again somehow and if he had, had more patience, he would have known of the plan of Friar Laurence and Romeo and Juliet could have been together. However, Romeo's stubbornness made him unable to endure the momentary suffering of being separated from Juliet and concluded that killing himself would solve the problem. He didn't realize what his death would mean to other characters like Juliet. He was being too self-centered. Another of Romeo's…

    These deaths that occur appear in, and greatly impact, both the Montague and Capulet families. 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. Lord Capulet responds surprisingly well to the news of Romeo arriving at the party. “Content thee gentle coz. Let him alone.” States Capulet in act 1 scene 5. However, Tybalt has a different opinion on what should happen to Romeo. Because of Tybalt’s differing opinion, he later, in act 3 scene 1, finds Romeo and proceeds to throw insults around. Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, becomes angry at Tybalt for insulting his best friend, and decides to fight with Tybalt. Romeo disagrees with this decision and tries to break up the fight. Mercutio ends up being stabbed by Tybalt, and then out of anger Romeo kills Tybalt. Because all of these characters had differing opinions, lives were lost, leaving long lasting effects on both…

    How does Shakespeare use language and dramatic effects to in Act 1, Scene 1 and Act 3, Scene 1 of Montague family. Later in Act One Scene Five he authenticates that all that is ever on his mind is war as when he sees Romeo at the Capulet party (Romeo being a Montague and therefore not wanted), instead of letting it pass as a party in Elizabethan times and today is no place for fighting, he asks Capulet for permission to fight him there and then - "Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe; a villain, that is hither come in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night." This quote demonstrates Tybalt's willingness to vehemently insult others and the "s" sounds he uses suggests he is almost hissing his hatred. Throughout the play Tybalt is extremely one-dimensional when it comes to language; when he speaks it as always at a dramatic or leading up to a dramatic point in the play. Maybe due to the similar circumstances that he speaks in or the fact that he is a warrior and no poet he repeatedly speaks in blank verse (or prose)…

    As a starting point, Tybalt, for instance, plays a minor role, but contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt is the reason for Romeo’s banishment from the city of Verona. Unaware of Romeo’s recent marriage to Juliet, Tybalt wants to duel Romeo, not only because he loathed the Montagues, he once stated, “I hate the word (peace)/ As I hate hell, all Montagues and thee,” but also because Romeo attended the Capulet ball uninvited. Once Tybalt encountered Romeo, he insults him and labels him a “villain.” Due to Romeo’s refusal to fight, Mercutio steps in and fights Tybalt. Tybalt stabs Mercutio and fatally wounds him. This event provoked Romeo into slaying Tybalt for vengeance on behalf of Mercutio. Tybalt was insistent on keeping the Montague and Capulet rivalry going strong and was constantly looking for a fight. He never considered keeping the peace and was very hotheaded. He never considered the results of his actions. Consequently, in regards to the ruthless, notorious Tybalt and his actions, which eventually led to his death, Prince Escalus banishes Romeo from Verona, causing a major impact on the outcome of the play.…

    Act 3, Scene 1 contributes to making Romeo and Juliet a true tragedy as this scene is the unfolding of a series of ill-fated events (3.1.84-87) ‘This days black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe others must end’. Violence and blood is demanded early in the scene, as Tybalt is after Romeo in order to challenge him to a duel. Newly wed Romeo ignores Tybalt’s insults and respectfully declines his offer, as he knows he must respect and love the Capulet’s. Irritated by Romeo’s calm submission, Mercutio steps up to the challenge to defend the Montague name. Outraged by Mercutio’s death Romeo lets rage control his actions as he seeks vengeance upon his friend’s death, forgetting his intentions to settle the family feud. The dramatic irony of this scene, will possibly affect the audience, as they know this will cause uproar within the family feud. The events in this scene impact greatly on Romeo and Juliet, as this is the breaking point of the play. This scene also creates a domino effect on the events later on in the play.…
