Is Romeo right to challenge Tybalt?

Answer 1

Yes; Tybalt saw Romeo at a Capulet party, and believed Romeo was "mocking" the Capulets by being there. But good old Mr. Capulet wouldn't allow Tybalt to confront Romeo at the party, so Tybalt sent him a letter the next day.

Answer 2

Challenging Tybalt was a rash decision by Romeo as it escalated the conflict between their families. Romeo's actions led to tragic consequences, contributing to the downfall of himself and Juliet. It would have been better for Romeo to find a peaceful resolution rather than engaging in a duel.

Answer 3

Tybalt despises Romeo. In Act I, scene v, Tybalt sees Romeo at the Capulet's feast, and had wanted to duel him since.

Answer 4

Romeo challenges Tybalt to a duel to the death after Tybalt kills Mercutio. However originally it was Tybalt whom had come to challenge Romeo.

Answer 5

Romeo didn't challenge Tybalt; Tybalt challenged him. Romeo was not going to pick up the challenge, but after Mercutio's death he changed his mind.
