“What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues and thee:
Have at thee, coward!”
(I.i.62-64)
As I hate hell, all Montagues and thee:
Have at thee, coward!”
(I.i.62-64)
It is safe to say that most who read Shakespeare's renowned play, Romeo and Juliet, think of Tybalt as being an intolerable and combative characater. This quote that is said in the streets of Verona clearly illustrates the type of person he is. This personality that Tybalt possesses is essential in the plot of Romeo and Juliet. Many fights spark becuase of his belligerant qualities and his knack for setting people into a mad rage. Not only is he willing to fight at the drop of a hat but he also makes a concerted effort to discrace the Montague nameat the same time. This unfortunate ability to set people off leads to the death of Mercutio and himself. Becuase of TYbalt's death, Lord and Lady Capulet both attempt to rush Juliet into a marriage with Paris. He has ways of transitioning from one tragic event to another.
