The impulsive Romeo, ruled by his emotions once more, is enraged and pursues Tybalt to avenge his friend. Romeo is so angry that he has no regard for his own life, and it is clear when he says: "And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now!/Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain ' back again/That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio 's soul/Is but a little way above our heads,/Staying for thine to keep him company./Either thou or I, or both, must go with him." (3.1.122-127). Despite Tybalt being the best swordsman in all of Verona, Romeo is under the dangerous influence of his own adrenaline and rage and winds up killing Tybalt.
The first example of Tybalt's vengeance occurs at the beginning of Romeo and Juliet when an argument between the Capulets and Montagues started by the Capulets turns into a street fight. “What drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word/ As I hate all Montagues, and thee./ Have at thee, Coward!” ( 1.1 72-74). Benvolio draws his sword to stop the fighting and Tybalt misinterprets this action, thinking he wants to
Because of Romeo’s impulsiveness, we see how impulsiveness affects his future, what it does to his family and his lover, Juliet, and finally revealing the final tragedy of the play. Romeo’s impulsiveness reveals how his love story ended up as a tragedy. He always acts without forethought, like when he first met Juliet in Act 1, Scene 5. All Romeo cared about was how he wanted to be with Juliet the rest of his life, and ignored the fact that conflicts may occur because she’s a Capulet. When Romeo first met Juliet, he kissed her, which was a very impulsive idea
At first Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio are having a talk but then Tybalt and a few other Capulets come into the scene. Capulets sees Romeo and challenges him to a fight, but Romeo refuses and tells Tybalt that he loves him for reasons that he can't explain. Tybalt eagerly proceeds to challenge him to a fight but as Romeo keeps refusing Mercutio then challenges Tybalt thinking that Romeo is too scared to spar with Tybalt. Mercutio says, (III.1.69) “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! Alla stoccata carries it away.”
Tybalt challenges Romeo to a fight, Romeo refuses. Mercuito steps in a accepts the challenge for himself. Tybalt and Mercito were just having fun in the beginning, but then it got serious. So serious, this playful fight ended to Mercitos death. Romeo was upset about this and he goes after Tybalt seeking vengeance.
Piece it together and you get, “we’re going to the Capulets!” Without Mercutio, Romeo would have never met Juliet. Romeo meeting Juliet is the most crucial part in the play because it builds plot. Another is after the fight and Mercutio perishes. Since Romeo now wants revenge, he battles Tybalt.
Romeo and Juliet have been in the wrong since the day they talked at the Capulet's party. Both households have the knowledge that Prince Escalus is not pleased with the families fighting one another in the streets. However, having an enemy like Tybalt, who is constantly looking for a fight, is challenging. In Document A, it says “Do with their death bury their parents’ strife”, meaning that the only possible way that Romeo and Juliet could escape their parents rage was to take their own lives. If the two families would accept each other instead of fighting, Romeo and Juliet might have had a fair chance at love.
Thus, violence is destructive, with the capability to deprive people’s peace and jubilation. Shakespeare uses this theme in his play to show his disapproval of violence based on family name,
It was a hot day as usual when Tybalt went looking for young Romeo. Instead, Tybalt stumbled upon the loitering Benvolio and Mercutio in the plaza. Benvolio was later described as trying to avoid a confrontation, but with tempers flaring under the heat, Mercutio deliberately provoked Tybalt and tried to lure him into a fight. Romeo then appeared in the plaza and was insulted by Tybalt but refused to fight back because he was related to him through his marriage with Juliet. Mercutio, dumbfounded upon why Romeo didn’t fight back, drew his sword on Tybalt on Romeo’s behalf.
Although Romeo is aware of the feud, he ignores the fact that if a Capulet finds a Montague at the party it will reignite the feud. For example, When Tybalt, a Capulet finds out that Romeo, a Montague is at the party he reacts by challenging Romeo to a duel, which results in Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment. Also at the Capulet party, Romeo forgets about Rosaline and when he sees Juliet. After looking at Juliet once he falls deeply in love with her, disregarding her name of Capulet. Romeo describes this feeling of love at first sight when he says, “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
When Tybalt proposes the duel to Romeo, Romeo quickly declines the duel because they have just become family members because of marriage. Mercutio steps up for his friend and accepts Tybalt 's duel. While Mercutio and Tybalt are fighting, Romeo is trying his hardest to stop the fight. When Romeo finally gets in between the two Tybalt gets the one last jab at Mercutio which punctures Mercutio. Tybalt instantly feel bad about hitting Mercutio and when he dies Romeo kills Tybalt right away with even communicating what 's going on.

All men in the world do not appreciate their masculinity to be challenged, which goes against their own code of honor. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo, Tybalt and Mercutio disrupt each other’s codes of honor by their actions in Act III, scene i. These three men’s codes of honor contribute to the tragedy of the play because of their views on masculinity, such as when Tybalt kills Mercutio and when Romeo kills Tybalt. Here, Tybalt mocks Romeo’s masculinity, leading Mercutio to duel him in order to honor Romeo.
