    In the play, there are many pieces of evidence that further present the prologue’s sad foretold reality. Even as early as the first scene of the play, we already see some evidence to back up the prologue. "[Romeo]…And makes himself and artificial night." (I, i, 38) This passage can be seen as the foreshadowing of Romeo’s suicide. Another line said by Montague, which is "Unless good council may the cause remove" (I, i, 140), also is evidence of Romeo’s tragedy. In the first act, Romeo is introduced. His great sadness is shown right away and the theme of love is seen as well. Through Romeo’s mellow mood we see how desperate he is for love. Romeo is in love with Juliet, which is the daughter of an enemy to the house of Montagues. Fate is definitely involved here, and this innocent love is the first step in a chain of events that lead to the fate driven tragedy. In the same scene, Tybalt is infuriated with Romeo.

  • The Theme Of Love In Romeo And Juliet

    1861 Words  | 4 Pages

    Now, Romeo has been banished from the land of Verona, away from his sweet Juliet. When Juliet learns of Tybalt’s death by the hand of Romeo, she first states “my husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain” with Romeo as the focal point (3.3.115). In the next line, she reiterates this same idea by stating, “and Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain my husband” with Tybalt as the focal point (3.3.116-117). This reiteration of the same idea from two different perspectives, facilitates a sense of logic and illustrates how Juliet is attempting to connect the dots and make sense of all that she has just been informed of in regards to how she should feel towards Romeo. As Juliet’s family is in mourning of Tybalt and is crying over his corpse, Juliet tells her nurse that her tears will not be caused by the death of her cousin but by the banishment of her beloved husband, Romeo. The imagery used in the line “wash they his wound with tears,” generates a sense of great mourning by quantitating the amount of grief that the Capulet family is experiencing in response to Tybalt’s death to the number of tears that they are crying, which is so much that their tears could wash Tybalt’s wounds (3.3.141). In this instance,

  • The Killing of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

    987 Words  | 2 Pages

    The very first thing that surprised me in Shakespeare was the fact that I came across an unfamiliar in Romeo and Juliet. This surprised me since I had read it so many times. The part that caught my eye was the fact that I never stopped to think about why Romeo kills Tybalt. It has always seemed to be that Romeo was revenging Mercutio to me, but this play I didn't notice evidence to that. It seemed more that Mercutio's big mouth was the only instigator in his death. The only inkling of animosity I could find between the two families came from the very beginning of the play. There is a scene set up that allows us to see that there is hatred between the two families. This occurrence is most pronounced in act I.1 ln.58 when Tybalt proclaims his hatred of Montagues to Benvolio, but they never really get the chance to duel. Throughout the play there is increasing growth on the conflict between the two houses. But in act III.1 Tybalt is slain. This sets up the remainder of fate for Romeo. After all, these two houses are supposed to keep their distance. But doesn't it seem strange that a man would kill just out of dislike of a certain group. And out of that certain group Romeo kills the first Capulet he comes across. Yes, he is upset about Mercutio, but geesh! Talk about flying off The handle. The thing I guess I can most closely equate this to is the idea of Road Rage we see today. Still when some one is in a hurry And I change lanes unexpectedly and they flip me off, cursing at me all the way down the street I am surprised at the intensity of their outburst. It is a very surprising behavior, even for today, not to mention the small amount of reasoning behind it. Romeo, don't forget your chill pill next time.
