Who is to blame for the deaths of tybalt and mercutio? Essay.
Essay on Tybalt Romeo and Juliet 5 May 2016 Describe Tybalt and using techniques, explain how he was made a disliked character The film Romeo and Juliet, directed by Baz Luhrmann in 1996, is a romantic tragedy that tells the story of two young lovers who commit suicide.
Tybalt and Mercutio are like a ying-yang, completely opposites, yet each have a part of the other somewhere inside. On the outside, Tybalt and Mercutio are opposite in how they balance out the play. Tybalt is hot tempered and Mercutio is the obvious comic relief and very carefree.
Finally to sum this essay up the characters Tybalt and Mercutio are portrayed and illustrated as slightly contrasting personalities by William Shakespeare and Baz Luhrmann. There are many similarities and difference between them, but overall in the story they are both represented as very proud and honourable characters, no matter how extreme and bizarre, every story must have some sort of.
The second scene results in the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt through violence and conflict, which takes place on a public street in Verona soon after Romeo gets married to Juliet. Benvolio tries to avoid the fight and warn them not to fight in a public place because of the prince’s consequences, “We talk here in the public haunt of men, withdraw unto some private place”.
This is a pivotal moment in the play because when Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo becomes so angry, and possibly feels responsible for Mercutio’s death, and he becomes a different person. Before Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo had refused to fight Tybalt as he was married to Juliet and Tybalt was now his family.
Romeo instructed Mercutio and Tybalt to hold the Greenacre property and 5000 shares on trust for Juliet. Firstly, it is necessary to see whether the trust was effectively created before his death by analysing Romeo’s intention to create a trust.
All in all, I think that Friar Laurence is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. He could have stopped it there and then, but chose not to. There are other people to blame as well, like Lord Capulet for putting Juliet under unnecessary pressure and probably making her very stressed, or it could all boil down to Mercutio taking Romeo to the Capulet ball in the first place.
