Tybalt plays a paramount role a paramount in Romeo and Juliet because his truculent nature and arrogant personality leads to multiple catastrophes in the play. Tybalt is a component of the Catpulet household. He is the nephew of Capulet and Lady Capulet and the cousin of Juliet. Mercutio teases Tybalt by expounding how he is “More than Prince of Cats, I can tell you. O, he is the courageous captain of compliments” (Shakespeare 1032). Tybalt is truculent and execrates all Montagues but he is allegiant additionally. He reverences Lord Catpulet’s wish to leave Romeo alone at the party but his aggressiveness still wants Romeo dead. “I shall withdraw but this intrusion shall now seeming sweet, convert to bitt’rest gall” (Shakespeare 1015).
