In Act 3 scene 1, Romeo’s actions are seen to be greatly impacted by the strong emotions that he feels at this time, as displayed when Mercutio is slain by Tybalt and Romeo reacts furiously. As Romeo declares to Benvolio, “Alive in triumph—and Mercutio slain!/Away to heaven, respective lenity,/And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now./Now, Tybalt take the “villain” back again”(III.i.118-121). Romeo questions how the scum Tybalt can be alive while the honorable Mercutio is dead, thus igniting his emotion-driven actions. Romeo, after being the cause of his friend's death, exclaims that he will no longer act with consideration towards Tybalt for the fact that they are related through Romeo’s marriage to Juliet.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo cannot control his emotions which leads to Romeo moving on from Rosaline and on to Juliet too fast. He says he loves Rosaline and when she denies him of his love, Romeo goes into an emotional breakdown; but when he meets Juliet he forgets all about Rosaline and is instantly in love with Juliet. When Mercurio and Romeo are talking about Romeo’s recent heartbreak, Romeo claims “[he] has lost [himself]” (Shakespeare 1.1 ll. 205) and that, “[he] was not [there]” (1.1 ll. 205). He is saying that he did not feel like himself at that time because he was depressed from Rosaline turning him down. His emotions were messing with him as he went through a harsh heartbreak with Rosaline.
In the 1967 and 1996 films of Romeo and Juliet, the directors portray Tybalt in different ways than done in the book Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. In the newer film, Tybalt's intent was to harm the Montague but in the older film he was jousting to prove the superiority and skill of the Capulets. The way the directors shape Tybalt's disposition before and during the fight is what sets the mood for the rest of the scene.
Right away in the play there is a fight between the families that started from pretty much nothing but blew up into a fight. That fight had the consequence of the prince threatening to sentence whoever started the fight to death. That threat only stayed in the families’ minds for a short time. Mercutio and Tybalt had an argument that grew from a verbal fight to a full blown sword fight when Mercutio said, “Come, sir, your passado. ”(III.i.82) Romeo made an attempt to stop this fight, but failed when Tybalt reached under Romeo’s arm and mortally wounded Mercutio.

“MOM, WHERE’S THE DRESS I JUST BOUGHT?” Yes, that is the attitude of a 14-year-old yelling at her mother, but maybe if it were said a bit calmer you would assume there is not an attitude.
