I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!” (1.1.67-69). As a result, a battle ensues which gains the attention of the prince. Two of Tybalt’s other fights also happen in a public place, which could suggest that the presence of other people serve to fuel his hatred for the Montagues.

“What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” Tybalt of the Capulet family expressed this quote in Act 1 Scene 1 of the play, Romeo and Juliet. This insult is said at the start of the play where the members of the two feuding households are about to part take in a street brawl. Tybalt says this fiery and violent line shedding light on his anti-peace and anti-Montague mindset, in response to Benvolio’s desperate plea for peace and no fight to occur.

Additionally, when Lord Capulet held a ball, Romeo has sneaked in with his friends which led to Tybalt realizing that he found Romeo at the Capulet party. His aggression towards Romeo contributes to the tragedy, therefore Tybalt is enraged that Romeo was at the party, saying, "Now by the stock and honour of my kin, / To strike him dead I hold it not a sin" (1.5.57-58). This conveys that Tybalt is eager to pursue violence to defend his family's honor, even if it threatens other people’s safety.

Tybalt claims that he must fight Romeo because he is duty-bound to do so to honor the Capulets which shows that this is a belief deeply imbedded into the minds of all Capulets. He then says that murdering a Montague in cold blood doesn’t make him guilty because all Montagues like Romeo deserve it. Tybalt’s quick temper and no remorse show just how deeply the hatred between the Montagues and Capulets truly stands.

Tybalt is one of the characters who should be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. As a Capulet, Tybalt has a burning hatred for Montagues. Tybalt’s hatred leads to multiple rash decisions which ultimately resulted in Romeo’s banishment. One of these decisions is Tybalt’s insistence on fighting Romeo. Tybalt “sent a letter to [Lord Montague]’s house,” (Shakespeare 104).
