We never find out exactly what it says, but we know its gist: Tybalt was calling Romeo out for a fight.
Tybalt
The letter challenging Romeo was written by Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel because he is enraged that Romeo attended the Capulet ball.
Tybalt was annoyed that he wasn't able to fight Romeo at the Capulet party because Capulet stopped him. He therefore wrote Romeo a letter challenging him to a duel. However since he delivered it to the house and Romeo hadn't been home Romeo never got the letter.
Mercutio does not "save Romeo" in the play by fighting Tybalt. Tybalt is about to walk away in contempt of the coward Romeo who will not fight him, and Mercutio gets involved, ostensibly to save Romeo's honour but basically just to get into a scrap. In the 1996 Baz Luhrman movie, the director has Tybalt beating Romeo when he will not fight, which does prompt Mercutio to join the fight. In that version Mercutio thinks that Tybalt will kill Romeo and that he needs to intervene to save his life. It's a more flattering read for Mercutio than what Shakespeare wrote.
Tybalt wrote a letter to Romeo, challenging him to a duel. Tybalt was angry that Romeo had invaded the Capulets' party but he wasn't able to fight him then and there because he had been stopped by Capulet, his uncle.
I am not familiar with the expression "alive reader". Do you mean someone who can read and is alive? If so, Friar Lawrence is an example. Romeo can read too but he is not alive through the whole play, nor is Tybalt, who also can read (he wrote Romeo a letter, remember).
Williams Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo tries to prevent Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting by stepping between them. Mercutio gets distracted by Romeo and this gives Tybalt a chance to stab Mercutio. By trying to keep the peace, Romeo accidentally causes the death of his best friend.
Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in 1595.
Romeo and Juliet, obviously, are the main characters.Other characters essential to the story are Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, Tybalt and Capulet. Not Benvolio, or even the Nurse.Here's the story as compact as you can get it: Romeo meets Juliet at a party. Tybalt objects to his presence but is prevented from doing anything at that time. Romeo and Juliet pledge their love to each other and Friar Lawrence marries them secretly. Later, Tybalt finds Romeo with Mercutio. Romeo is unwilling to fight Tybalt and Mercutio takes the mickey for him. Romeo is incensed and kills Tybalt. He then (or shortly thereafter) flees as he is wanted by the law. Capulet insists that Juliet should marry another man, and she seeks the friar's advice. She fakes her death, and Romeo returns to complete the suicide scene at the end.RomeoJulietMercutioBenvolioNurseFriar LawrenceTybaltMain Charcters; Romeo, Juliet, Lady Capulet, Capulet, Tybalt, Friar Lawrence.
"Here comes Romeo! Here comes Romeo!" These are the exact words Benvolio uses in Act 2 Scene 4, and they are of course in modern English because that is the language Shakespeare wrote in.
