In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare there are many characters you can blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The number one person that comes to my mind is Tybalt. The fact that he can become furious in a matter of seconds is a key factor in why I’m blaming him. Tybalt was always causing trouble, disrupting the peace. After reading and watching Romeo and Juliet I believe Tybalt is the character to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Likewise I mentioned before Tybalt is always trying to stir up trouble with the Montagues. For example he tried to fight Benvolio and while he was trying to Tybalt said this, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!” (Act
Tybalt caused this death by getting mad and taking revenge on Romeo. When he took revenge on Romeo, it meant he also, displayed immaturity to his faithful cousin, Juliet. Tybalt and Juliet grew up together. They had a close relationship. Tybalt took that away from them. The fact of the matter is, you shouldn’t be messing with love and happiness. Both Romeo and Juliet had that, and it was not to be punctured. Tybalt punctured
From the very beginning of the play, Tybalt expressed how he hated peace. He would prefer to hate than to have peace with the Montagues.
In Romeo and Juliet, one character who is partly responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt. Tybalt enrages Remeo and causes him to kill Tybalt. In Romeo and Juliet, this brings about Romeo’s exile from Verona. If Romeo had not been exiled from Verona, he would have heard of Friar Lawrence’s plan to keep Juliet from getting married. If he had known of the plan, he would not have gone to the vault and killed himself over what he thought was Juliet’s dead body.
When asked by Benvolio to make peace in the streets, Tybalt bluntly responds,” talk of peace, I hate the word. As I hate hell all Montagues.” This is the attitude of Tybalt throughout the play. He believes he is doing all for the best and uses violence as his tool. He gets angry at the ball with Romeo being there, “villain as a guest,” and believes it best to defend his family’s honor by later taking revenge. When Tybalt finds Romeo, he thinks it best to fight him and when he ends up killing Mercutio he believes he has done his duty by causing Romeo the same hurt he has brought Tybalt, “the injuries that thou hast done me.”
Tybalt is like many other young men his age and is immature. This can be seen in almost every action he makes. One can see his immaturity when he makes impulsive decisions, like when he wrote a letter to Romeo challenging him to a duel. Another immature thing that he does is when he sees a Montague, he automatically sees him/her as a evil villain because of the ancient feud. Tybalt states, “Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe,/ A villain that is hither come in spite/ To scorn at our solemnity this night.” (1.5.69-71). He sees Romeo when at the party and instantly abandons any sense maturity or reason and assumes that that man is a villian, not knowing who he is or having any knowledge about him other than his name. His childish behavior can be seen through out
Tybalt tries to make his family proud, as he wants to end the feud between the Capulet and Montague once and for all in a big fight. Tybalt insults Benvolio by saying, “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word/as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee/have at thee, coward” (I.i.64-66) initially beginning the fight, and showing his destructive love towards family honour. The fight that is fueled by Tybalt’s destructive love contributes to the Prince’s warning at the beginning of the play. The Prince warns to all Montague and Capulet that any other behaviour such as this would be punished by
Because of the time this play was written, people would have strongly believed in bad luck and fate, but the characters were equally to blame. It was just a question of which one is to blame the most for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First of all, Romeo could be most to blame for the deaths of himself and Juliet, he asked Juliet to marry him when he hardly knew her. Romeo declared his love for her and went to friar Lawrence and asked the friar if he would marry them, Romeo says "Then plainly know my hearts dear love is set, on the fair daughter of rich Capulet, by holy marriage, when, where and how, we met, we woo'd and make exchange of vow. " If Romeo had restrained himself from killing Tybalt, or waited a day before killing himself after hearing about Juliet's death, it might have ended happily, and if Romeo didn't have such deep feelings, his love with Juliet wouldn't have existed in the first place.
Who would have thought that their own family could be responsible for their death? In William Shakespeare’s play, “Romeo and Juliet”, a horrible crime was committed between two lost souls who were never meant to meet, their lives came to an end and there’s only one to blame for these two murders.Although he did not physically kill Romeo or Juliet, Tybalt is the one to blame for their deaths. Many may argue that others are to blame, but Tybalt has caused the most damage, ruined everything, and led the couple to their suicides. These deaths, although horrific, will bring two fighting families together and bring peace back to their lives.
Although admirable qualities add to one's life, they can often lead to their death. One such example of this occurs in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet where we are introduced to Tybalt, a fiery and prideful young relative of the Capulet family. In the play, In the play, Tybalt plays a prominent role in both the thematic scheme and in the ultimate outcome. Tybalt is the instigator of a chain of reactions which change the course of this tragedy, sending it into a headlong collision with fate. Tybalt?s uncontrollable vengeance, skill as a fighter and sense of Capulet pride are admirable in their own ways, but lead Tybalt to his eventual death at the hands of Romeo.
Drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montague’s, and thee. Have at thee cowards!” which proves to us that Tybalt is more committed to the feud then Benvolio and the Montague’s. Act 1 scene 5: in this act we look at how Romeo goes to the great. feast in the household of the Capulet’s.
“This, by his voice,should be a montague.Fetch me my rapier,boy. What! Dares the slave Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To Strike him dead I hold it not a sin.”(1,5,55)These are the lines that Tybalt a character from the famous shakespeare “Romeo and Juliet” spoke.In these lines his explaining to his uncle, Capulet, that Romeo ( a Montague) has entered their party. Capulet, in this case, Is carefree with not a care because it’s a party and Tybalt should loosen up. If Tybalt hadn’t try to kick Romeo out of the party after finding out he was with juliet , Challenge to fight Romeo, and killing Mercutio...Romeo and Juliet’s relationship would be less complicated.
Tybalt is a Montague and they hate the Capulets. Tybalt's anger always comes from the hate that the other generations put into him. Tybalt wouldn’t even have this anger inside of him staying he should fight everyone that he sees, if the family feud was not there. The feud has been going on for a long time and then these two generations brought it back to life. So it is not Tybalt to blame at all, if anything it would be the two families. Here Tybalt yells, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word/ As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee./Have at thee, coward!”(I.I.63-65). In this scene they are in the streets and the Capulet servants are starting a fight, and then Tybalt comes in and just wants to fight because of his hate. Tybalt says that he hate all Montagues and that they are cowards. He only hates the Montagues because of the past generations, if the two families didn’t even have this feud Tybalt wouldn’t hate the Montagues. Now Tybalt wants to fight Romeo, he says, ““Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford/No better term than this,—thou art a villain”(III.I.55-56). Tybalt is saying that he can’t even afford if his anger turned into money. This shows that Tybalt is full of it because your anger for another person is not always that you wants to kill them. His anger is really kind of funny because all he wants to do with his life is fight, fight, fight. Overall Tybalt is not to blame for the deaths for Romeo and Juliet because the anger and rage in him is from the past generations hating each

He plays a very crucial and important role in the story as it's the main antagonist. His actions and arrogant and aggressive personality are some the reasons why this story ends in suffering, grief, and tragedy.
Romeo’s decision to kill Tybalt is an example of Romeo’s irrationalism because the fight could have been avoided. Furthermore, this fight banished Romeo from Verona which resulted in many more situations which all led to the death of Romeo and Juliet. Next, when Romeo drank the poison next to Juliet, he was very quick to act. This terrible decision killed Romeo himself, and once Juliet woke up, she was also quick to stab herself, causing her to quickly die. Lastly, Friar Lawrence did not properly think through his plan to give Juliet the potion which would mimic her death because the message to Romeo did not arrive, causing Romeo to kill himself. In conclusion, these characters are held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet instead of
