In the play Romeo and Juliet. This literature technique, foil is used between the characters Romeo and Mercutio. They talk to each other but are nothing alike. Romeo is more impulsive with his decision making. And never really thinks before he does.
Tybalt was a troublemaker and also a good sword fighter and picked a lot of fights. He fought Mercutio and killed him by accident. Tybalt was slain by Romeo because Tybalt killed his best friend. Tybalt was also mad because Romeo came to his party and thought that it was a
Because of Mercutio’s opposing traits to Romeo, he is Romeo’s foil to show Romeo’s significant
Romeo is a very loving and caring character, so he must have a foil. Mercutio is the foil to Romeo, being a skeptic and someone who is anti-romantic. Another example of how they are foils is that Romeo is always serious about love and romance whereas Mercutio takes neither
If he wasn’t such a bad person he wouldn’t get so upset about Romeo going to the party when Romeo didn’t do anything but find his true love. If Tybalt wouldn’t have been so hard-headed everything could be fine. Tybalt is to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he could have ended the situation without having a
William Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, provides great foils for the main character, Romeo. Shakespeare includes many foils throughout his stories to make his character’s emotions, attitude, and characteristics more apparent. Romeo’s character traits, lovestruck, cowardness, and emotional are highlighted through his foils, best friend Mercutio, and enemy, Tybalt. Romeo’s foils help to make his character’s personality stronger and clear. One character trait that’s highlighted through Tybalt is Romeo’s complete awe and love for Juliet.
In conclusion that I believe that the foils that can be detected in the story are Romeo and Mercutio and also Tybalt and Benvolio. Romeo's a lovesick Mopper who cherishes love and is always searching for his one true love. Mercutio on the other hand is a witty jokester and is not interested of finding love. Tybalt is a
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet there are many examples of character foils. An example Is Romeo and his obnoxious friend Mercutio. These two characters are the complete opposite, and bring out the best and the worst of each other. Mercutio often makes fun of Romeo for falling in love so easily. When Romeo describes his love for Rosaline, Mercutio laughs and says “if love be rough with you, be rough with love; prick love for pricking you, and you best love down”(1.4.27-28).
In William Shakespeare’s play the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet we are shown how love at such a young age can really make adolescents do crazy things and overreact in many situations. In this play Shakespeare uses foil and many literary devices to convey emotion and to help us understand the way a character acts or feels in a certain situation. Foil is when a character provides a strong contrast to another character. An example of foil would be when two servants, one from Capulet and one from Montague, are fighting and the Capulets and the Montagues enter the scene (Act 1, Scene i, Lines 70-75). Capulet.
Tybalt- although a character not often thought of too much in the play of Romeo and Juliet, he does have some significance to the story. He’s important enough to be killed, anyway. It is said that he was killed by Romeo... but is that really true? Yes, Romeo did stab him to death, but who is the real person to blame? The culprit here would be none other than… Tybalt himself!
Romeo is a Montague, the rival family to the Capulets. The hatred that would lead to his own death started with this grudge. Romeo didn’t do anything to hurt the Capulets, but Tybalt didn’t like his presence. Tybalt got angry at a party over nothing. Tybalt sent a letter to Romeo’s home challenging him to quarrel.
In the story of Romeo and Juliet the two characters Mercuio and Tybalt have a lot in common, but they also have a lot that is different. Things that are different with these two characters are that, Tybalt is a ‘hot head” as a lot of people describe him. He says and does things without thinking, an example of this is when he sees Romeo at the Capulet’s party, right away he wanted to fight him but the only reason he didn 't was because Capulet wouldn 't let him. Tybalt is also an arrogant troublemaker, in the first act he gets involved with two characters who are fighting each other.
Reputation is everything and Tybalt certainly has a strong reputation. Whether it's good or bad is up for debate but he is well known throughout Verona as a man thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more or a hair less in his beard than thou hast, and is often depicted “tempering extremities with extreme sweet” demonstrating how everyone knows he is short tempered and very passionate in his anger. These
Opposites attract. This term is used all of the time. When people first hear it, it does not make sense, but when they really think about it, it does. Another word for this phase is foil. William Shakespeare used foils in many of his plays including Romeo and Juliet.
Lastly, Tybalt is the most to blame for the events that occur in Romeo and Juliet because of the the first events he caused leading to the suicides of Romeo and Juliet. The confirmation that Tybalt is the cause of the terrible events in Romeo and Juliet is shown in the play “Romeo and Juliet” when Romeo says, “Is it even so? then I defy you, stars! Thou know ' st my lodging: get me ink and paper, and hire post-horses; I will hence tonight.”
