Tybalt Character Analysis

Read our modern English translation.
Capulet’s nephew and Juliet’s cousin. Tybalt is a duelist whose skills with a rapier have gained him widespread renown—and whose temper is equally as famous as his talent. Hotheaded, brash, and devoutly loyal to his house, Tybalt hates all Montagues and longs to kill them on sight. His vitriol towards the Montague clan leads him to fight with Mercutio and Romeo—though he slays the former, the latter ends his life.
