TYABLT ESSAY

             Tybalt is a very important character in 'Romeo and Juliet'. He does not appear many times ion the play but when he does he has a very big effect on the plot. Tybalt is Lord Capulet nephew and is Juliet's Cousin, thus making Tybalt a Capulet. Tybalt also loves to fight which implies that he is an aggressive character and is almost at the fore front of every fight scene.
             He does various things during the course of the play to restrict Romeo and Juliet being together. He challenges various other characters such as Benvolio and the lead character Romeo.

             "I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword or manage it to part these men with me."
             This quote shows that Benvolio is trying to part the men but Tybalt will not assist Benvolio and tries to provoke him by mocking him.
