Insults were exchanged, but Romeo remembered that Tybalt is his new wife's cousin, so he turned the other cheek. Mercutio found this totally shocking, actually dishonorable, so he offered to fight Tybalt instead. They fought and then Romeo tried to intervene, but Tybalt suddenly stabbed Mercutio. Romeo and Benvolio assumed that Mercutio has not been badly hurt because he started joking about his damage but it was no joke. He was dying. A minute later, he died. Romeo blamed himself for Mercutio's death. So, he decided to man up by challenging Tybalt to a duel. And then finished him by killed Tybalt.

    Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo and started calling him a villain and other things like that. When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight. Tybalt says “No better term than this: thou art a villain.”(3.1.57-63) That is when Tybalt gives his reason he wants to fight Romeo. When Tybalt kills Mercutio that’s when Romeo loses it and that is the reason Juliet faked her death. And after Romeo finds out that’s when he wants to kill himself also. Tybalt had a very big impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…

    Firstly Tybalt was just generally an arrogant bastard and always acted hostile towards Romeo, even when Romeo tried to reason with him. If he had not been so hostile then maybe there coukd have been peace between their families and no need for the secrecy of Romeo’s and Juliet’s love. Secondly, Romeo came to him and tried to stop the violence and kneeled before him, pleading for peace between their two families, and he ignored him. That was a chance in avoiding the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, because if he had listened and backed down, the events that led to Romeo’s exile would not have happened. Thirdly, Tybalt murdered Mercrutio. If Tybalt would have let him live, than Romeo would not have had to revenge the death of Mercrutio and Romeo would not have been exiled and there would have been no need for the plan that led to Romeo’s…

In the story, Friar acts as a reoccurring figure for advice to the two lovers, however, his advice and actions did not prove worthy.

    Romeo And Juliet Blame

    • 1057 Words
    • 5 Pages

    People may think that Tybalt is to blame because he got into a fight with Romeo ultimately causing Romeo to be banished. Tybalt did actively and willingly go to battle with Romeo in the streets. He also did kill Mercutio and caused Romeo to seek revenge for his friend. However, Tybalt attacked Romeo because he was raised to hate the Montagues. All that Tybalt knew was his family's hatred for the Montagues. Due to this, Tybalt got into a fight with Romeo, causing Romeo to get banished, and ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves in the end. In the play when Romeo comes to the Capulets's party, Tybalt says, "This, by his voice, should be a Montague." Quoted from pg. 1014. Tybalt said this because he gets angered that Romeo has snuck into the party unannounced. This causes Tybalt to grow even more of a hatred to Romeo specifically. Due to Romeo coming to the party without being invited and just for being a Montague, Tybalt's instincts tell him to fight Romeo. Were it not for the family feud, Tybalt would have little to no reason to hate Romeo, causing him to do battle with Romeo, ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet's deaths. Tybalt is not a major factor into the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. His hatred for Romeo and the Montagues was taught and grown into him, and due to the secrecy of Romeo, he felt offended by the uninvited Romeo to the Capulet…

Romeo is heart-broken, “moping around” in the grove of “sycamore trees” after finding out that his love Rosaline does not having feels for him and wishes to remain celibate. Romeo is devastated to hear that she is wasting her beauty by wishing to remain absent from sexual relations, and is not hesitant to go to the Capulet’s party after Benvolio informs him that Rosaline will be attending.

    However, even if wanting to kill Tybalt is out of anger, there is still some love, in his reasoning. Romeo truly cared about Mercutio, and when Tybalt kills him, Romeos emotions get the best of him once again.

    Benvolio tries to change Romeos perspective on love and that he should "find other people". Early in the story Romeo didn’t have a huge part in the story since he always ran away and preferred to be by himself. Benvolio and Mercutio offer Romeo to attend the Capulet party. Even though there Montagues Benvolio and Mercutio convince Romeo to go and the three of them attend the party. At the Capulet party Romeo thought of the words Benvolio said to him before about examining other beauties. Once Romeo placed his eyes on Juliet he instantly fell in love and forgot all things he once loved for Rosaline. At the beginning of the story Romeo felt insecure because Rosaline didn’t find interest in him but when Romeo met Juliet he instantly showed that he was confident by kissing her. This shows how Romeo developed from a young, insecure, and depressed Montague into a confident, joyful and delighted…

Juliet now changes over time with Romeo, in this quote, Juliet is being yelled at by the Capulet which is her father.…
