As Jacob and his family walked in, the goose closest to the door ran up and bit Jacob on the leg. After that, Jacob grew to hate birds and it was all because of that moment. This example of cause and effect can help define hate. The dictionary defines the verb ‘to hate’ as “ to dislike intensely or passionately”. But I believe hate should be defined as:: to dislike a person or an object because of one’s past interactions with the object.

Their ancient feuding was the result of Romeo’s banishment. The Capulet house had a resentment for the Montague house, which led Tybalt to act viciously towards Mercutio and Romeo. Romeo’s detestation for Tybalt after killing his best friend was immense. Since Romeo is a very round character and acts on his emotions without thinking, he killed Tybalt.
