Final Romeo and Juliet Essay

In Romeo and Juliet, by: William Shakesphere, characters; Tybalt and Mercutio have a strong rivalry. Their similiar and different personalities affect the story and the other characters by causing drama and relationship problems. Tybalt was upset with Romeo , and challenged him to a duel, instead he fought Mercutio, for a little bit , then Romeo shows up, trying to stop the fight. I believe because of  Mercutio and Tybalt's behavoir, they ruined the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.

Mercutio is good friends with Romeo, and wants the best for him. In both movies, he is portrayed as an  outrageous and loud person. Later, in the story he meets Tybalt, when Romeo shows up to come hang with him. Mercutio and Tybalt play fight , for a bit, but then when it gets to aggresive , Romeo got between them  to break it up, and Tybalt's sword stabs Mercutio. Mercutio jokes and keeps it lighthearted , and says " It was just a scratch", knowing that he was seriously injurned , he didn't want to look like a punk, in front of his friends. When Mercutio collapses and is dying , from the stab wound, Romeo and Benvolio and everyone looks at it , Mercutio's last words are "How come the devil came between us ". As  Mercutio takes his last breath of air , Romeo gets full of rage and goes after Tybalt , looking for a fight.

Tybalt is seen as being a bad guy or big antagonist for Romeo . He challenges Roemoto a duel, because he showed up at the Capulet's royal ball and started to act romantic with Juliet . In the recent, Romeo and Juliet movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, he starts to punch and beat up Romeo, when Romeo asks for peace and refuses to battle him. Mercutio joins  the fight and takes care of Tybalt , by accidently he is badly injurned and dies from not properly taking care of the wound . Romeo full of anger goes after Tybalt seeking for revenge.

I believe that Mercutio and Tybalt contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet because they had fought each other, and Mercutio was accidently killed by Tybalt's sword. Romeo wanting revenge goes after Tybalt and kills him. Romeo is then bansihed by Prince Escalus and Juliet is deeply depressed,   Romeo then thinks that Juliet is dead when he sees her laying in her casket.Romeo poisons himself and then dies slowly, Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo dead and tries to get some poison in her mouth from Romeo's lips. When it doesn't work Juliet decides to kill herself.
