Tybalt Capulet can be analyzed as the personification of hatred in the play “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare.
In Act 1 Scene 5 Tybalt says:
“This, by his voice, should be a Montague.—
Fetch me my rapier, boy. Page exits.
What dares the slave
Come hither covered with an antic face
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
Now, by the stock and honor of my kin,
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.”
“Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe,
A villain that is hither come in spite
To scorn at our solemnity this night.”
“Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford
No better term than this: thou art a villain.”
These lines said by Tybalt reflects his hatred for Montagues. He abuses Romeo and his friend Mercutio and fights with them when he sees them in the Capulet’s feast.
