In the first Act of the play two servants of each house start a ruckus. They start to fight when Benvolio of the Montague house comes and tries to put a stop to it. Then along comes Tybalt who is always eager to start a
Showing how he intended to diffuse the fight but had not been able to Intervene as Romeo was driven by revenge. This echoes Shakespeare’s criticism of excessively passionate behaviour, highlighting how acting recklessly out of love can have equally negative consequences as acting recklessly out of hate. Also Benvolio highlights how Tybalt was extremely unreasonable during the fight as “ he could not take truce”. This emphasises that Benvolio is a foil character to Tybalt due to their completely contrasting views. While Benvolio is attempting to make peace Tybalt came seeking a
Which they eventually responded with a fight. Benvolio, a nephew of the Montagues, attempts to stop the brawl. However, Tybalt, nephew of the Capulets, challenged the servants to fight, which escalates the brawl. More servants of both houses eventually join the brawl.
Benvolio and Mercutio are talking. Tybalt shows up mad and starts to talk to the two men. When Tybalt sees Romeo, he tries to fight him. Romeo does not want to fight though. Mercutio steps up and fights Tybalt and gets killed.
Tybalt and Benvolio are polar opposite people. They are also from two different households. Those two households had so much hate for each other they would kill just to prove themselves correct. The households were the Montagues and the Capulets.
The day is hot; the Capulets, abroad; And if we meet we shall not ’scape a brawl, For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring”. This quote means Benvolio knew the Capulets would be looking for a fight as it’s at hot day and they would already be aggravated because of it being so hot, this shows that Benvolio is not the biggest fan of violence, and he also cares for the rest of his family as they will be punished for him and the Capulets fighting if they do so. This also shows Benvolio is very level headed as he knows the possible consequences that could come from fighting with the Capulet and it showed when the Capulets were looking for a fight and it then ended with one of his great friends losing his life. This shows that in this time in Verona fighting was happening way to often, for any lives to properly go on as, none of the men go anywhere without looking for a fight between someone to show that they are better
When a fight breaks out in the streets because of the two households’ servants, the Prince states “if you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace”(1.1.89-90). The Prince gave them a threatening warning with hopes of it being the only way the families could live in peace. The Montagues’ and Capulets’ hatred towards each other was so strong, the only way to settle them would be the cost of their lives. The brawl in the streets was caused by Benvolio trying to break up a quarrel, then Tybalt getting involved only to start an argument with Benvolio. Tybalt is a Capulet and Benvolio is a Montague, so when Benvolio spoke of peace, Tybalt replied with “I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee”(1.1.63-64).
In the play, Tybalt’s egotistical and cantankerous manner leads him to make rash decisions that hurt others. While walking down the street, two of Lord Capulet’s servants come across servants from the House of Montague and start arguing. Benvolio tries to intervene to stop the fight and Tybalt then challenges him out of anger and says, “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word/ As I
A verbal confrontation quickly escalates to a more physical altercation . Looking to put an end to the bebacle Benvolio draws his sword . This invites Tybalt to draw his sword . Benvolio tries to tell Tybalt he is just trying to keep the peace.
Another scene is in Act One Scene One, when Romeo makes a pun on the idea of love. Benvolio: In love? Romeo: Out- Benvolio: Of love?
They then started to fight. Other people from both family started to join in the fight, and then Benvolio showed up and told every one to stop fighting. After he calmed everyone down, Tybalt came in and told every to start fighting again. “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I have hell, all Montagues, and thee” (Shakespeare 701).
Without his officers, who had poisoned the Hart River after disobeying his command to stand down, General Indrid Cole finished scanning the perimeter of the kingdom. This time he’d ordered his men to secure the gates. And this time they complied. In the late afternoon Indrid visited Montague’s quarters, but Montague wasn’t home, so he made himself comfortable on the library’s sheepskin bench as he sifted through books. He was intrigued by the cloaked man’s form and his vision of Rayne.
Put up thy sword, or manage to part these men with me”. Tybalt then responds with “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee coward” Act 1 scene 1. This began the fight in the very beginning of the play.
They then start arguing which leads to a fight. The fight breaks out and Benvolio comes over to try to stop the fight, but Tybalt starts fighting Benvolio. The Prince hears about the Capulets and Montagues fighting, so he comes down the streets of Verona and tells them if a fight breaks out again that he will come after and kill Lord Capulet and Montague. The
For example, Tybalt and Mercutio draw their swords against each other in order to fight for their houses’ honor, and finally both are killed for this reason. Romeo on the other side at first avoids fighting due to his marriage with Juliet, but when he thinks himself as an offspring of Montagues murders Tybald to take revenge for Mercutio’s death. Consequently and according to Coppelia Kahn, “the play is constantly critical of the feud as the medium through which criteria of patriarchally oriented masculinity are voiced”. Moreover, the fact that Mercutio takes part in the feud although he is neither a Capulet nor a Montague reveals that “feuding has become the normal social pursuit for young men in Verona” (176). Lastly, the nature of the feud involves obscene sexual innuendo towards women, something that becomes evident when someone considers the puns the Capulet servants make with language referring to sexuality, such as their wordplay regarding Montague’s women virginity: “I will cut off their heads…
