Q

General:

A
  • Central to play - intertwined with love.
  • Play begins with fighting - we never know how the fighting started - making it seem pointless.
  • Tybalt embodies this theme - he is aggressive and proud and his obsession with honour results in conflict with Benvolio and Romeo.
  • Benvolio is the opposite - he worries about conflict and tries to prevent it.
  • Capulet - upholds the patriarchal society where men are superior to women. He commands Tybalt to at the party to avoid conflict but threatens violence against Juliet when she disobeys him - showing his aggressive side.
