About Romeo and Juliet . Romeo and Juliet is a play of two "star crossed lovers" whose houses are at war. This hatred causes a tragic ending, in which Romeo and Juliet both end up dead. This tragedy would never have happened if the two houses had not been fighting. Shakespeare never reveals why these two houses are at war making it seem like it is ages old, and that over time they have forgotten why they were fighting. Shakespeare uses primarily one character to relay this hate to his audience; he uses a fiery, irrational, aggressive, hot headed young man named Tybalt. Without the constant quarreling between the two houses, Romeo and Juliet would have been free to see each other, which would have made for a boring play. Without Tybalt, Romeo and Juliet would have had a fairy tale ending. When Tybalt is first introduced, he is storming into the middle of a huge battle scene (act 1). While Benvolio tries to stop the fighting between the Capulets and the Montagues, Tybalt fires up the situation by saying something offensive in act I, scene I, li. Tybalt is a very important character, and without him the play would have been bland. It's the state of bliss as you think you're dreaming .
What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word
as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. |
