Romeo And Juliet Violence Quotes

“These violent delights have violent ends” (2.6.9). Shakespeare's timeless play Romeo and Juliet tells the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers and their families' mortal hatred for one another. In this book, this theme is demonstrated in a number of ways. The story of Romeo and Juliet takes place in the fair city of Verona, Italy. Romeo is the fearless son of the Montagues, and Juliet is the beautiful daughter of the Capulets. The overarching theme of the play, as shown by Tybalt and the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets, is that hatred and violence leads to destruction and death.
Tybalt is a good example of how hatred and violence leads to destruction and death. Tybalt is quick to start violence, especially against Romeo, whom

In the end, Tybalt ultimately loses his life in a duel with Romeo. Benvolio then states, “Romeo, away, be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed: the prince will doom thee death, If thou art taken: hence, be gone, away!” (3.1.128-131). This quote highlights Tybalt's character as an example of the consequences of hatred and violence as demonstrated in Romeo and Juliet. Despite his quick temper and outbursts, Tybalt still gets drawn into a fight with Romeo, which ultimately results in his death. Another example of the theme that hatred and violence leads to destruction and death is when at the Capulet party, Tybalt recognizes Romeo as a Montague, and is insulted by the fact that he has dared to attend the Capulet's party.

The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are a tragic reminder of how hatred and violence can lead to destruction and death. When Romeo kills Tybalt in Act III, Scene I, he is banished from Verona, causing Juliet to fake her own death in order to be with him. However, Romeo does not receive the message that Juliet's death is a ruse, and he kills himself in grief at her supposed death. Juliet, upon discovering Romeo's body, also takes her own life. Romeo’s last words were "Oh, here, Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars, From this world-wearied flesh." (5.3. 111–112). Romeo's decision to kill himself in this passage highlights the destructive nature of the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. He feels that his fate is predetermined by the "inauspicious stars" and that the only way to escape the pain of his situation is through death. Juliet's decision to follow him in death emphasizes the
