Straight away Tybalt and Mercutio start trash talking each other until Romeo walks in. Tybalt is trying to pick a fight with Romeo but he refuses. “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting: villain am I none; therefore farewell; I see thou know’st me not,” (Shakespeare 790-791) Romeo explains. The quote is saying that Romeo just wants peace and to not get in any fights. Tybalt puts down his sword but Mercutio will not settle for what just happened. Mercutio draws his sword and yells “Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk?” Mercutio basically asks Tybalt to fight. They …show more content…
