Shakespeare was one of the world's most eye-opening playwright. His way with words was like no other. One of his hit plays was Romeo and Juliet, a play that caught the audience's attention in the first minute. Romeo and Juliet, the main characters, are from rival families, the Capulets and Montagues. One of the most confrontational characters is Juliet's cousin, Tybalt. He is a man of fiery hate. The sight of a Montague is enough to bring out the "hulk" in him. Tybalt is hot-headed, blunt, and impulsive; his actions throughout the play are exemplary of these traits. All plays and stories have different characteristics. Tybalt has certain characteristics that keep the play moving. Without Tybalt's hot-headedness, the play would, most likely, …show more content…
They have no filter. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt is an insulting person who should be considered blunt. Blunt is only one of the many traits he possess. In the beginning of the play, you have two Capulets trying to pick a fight with people from their rival family, the Montagues. As the fight slowly unfold, the Montagues and Capulets begin to verbally yell insults to each other. The fight finally unfolds and Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, tries to step in and bring peace back to the day, but Tybalt begins to step in. "What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio. Look upon thy death," said Tybalt. In other words, Tybalt's asking Benvolio why he has chosen to draw his sword and fight with these minors. Tybalt begins to tell Benvolio that it is ridiculous that he talk about peace but pull out his sword to fight. As Tybalt pulls out his sword, he tells Benvolio, " I hate the word peace like i hate hell, all Montagues, and you. Let's go at it coward." As an audience, Tybalt's choice of words would prove that he is blunt and …show more content…
For example, Tybalt was mentioned in my earlier paragraphs as being hot-headed. When he first heard Romeo, his first thought was to consult him. Tybalt wants to kick Romeo out of their house; however, Lord Capulet simply tells not to bother the poor teenager. He will do no harm. The very next day, however, Tybalt sends a letter to Romeo's servant challenging him to duel. There have been two instances that prove Tybalt's impulsive behavior. His instincts were telling him to do one thing and, like the guy he is, he decides to act upon his instincts and not listen to his head. we all have different traits. If we were all the same, the world would be pretty gray. The same statement applies to stories, movies, and, in this case, plays. Without Tybalt, the play wouldn't be as interesting, now would it? Tybalt's hot-headed, Blunt, and impulsive personality is part of what keeps the audience on their
