Who is Romeo's cousin in Romeo and Juliet?

It doesn't say anything about Romeo's cousin, but many people mistakenly think Benvolio is. Benvolio is just his friend. Benvolio is the Prince's cousin. Sorry, that's wrong. Benvolio is Romeo's cousin. In Act 1 Scene 1 Benvolio says to Romeo's father "My noble uncle, do you know the cause?" (somewhere around line 150) and later in the scene he greets Romeo "Good morrow, cousin." (about 15 lines later).


Does Tybalt try to keep the peace?

No, Benvolio (Romeo's cousin) is the peace keeper of the play. Tybalt is the complete opposite. He fuels the fight in Act 1 Scene 1, "Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death." In Act 3 Scene 5, Montague (Tybalt's uncle) calls him a "Princox", which is basically saying that he is more trouble than he is worth.Tybalt is a fiery character, and is, in no means, a peacekeeper.

What does why such is loves transgression mean in the play by Shakespeare?

The quotation is from Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1: Why, such is love's transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Romeo is addressing Benvolio who has just told him that Romeo's love-melancholy makes him sad. A transgression is a wrong or crime. Romeo is saying that the crime of love is to make people sad, and that here it is doubly bad because Benvolio's sadness is piled on top of Romeo's.

What did Romeo do when Tybalt returned to the scene?

The answer to your question depends greatly on which scene you're talking about. For now I'll assume you mean the scene in which Romeo kills Tybalt. This is Act III Scene I.This is the first scene after Romeo weds Juliet. Tybalt is actually Juliet's cousin, so when Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt ("Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee/ Doth much excuse the appertaining rage/ To such a greeting. Villian I am none./ Therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not." --Romeo, Act III, scene i.), Romeo's friend Mercutio fights Tybalt instead, and in the end Mercutio dies.Romeo is furious. He challenges Tybalt and kills him, which leads to Romeo's banishment.Of interesting note is that this scene is actually the climax of the play.In performance, the scene opens with Benvolio and Mercutio onstage. Tybalt joins them, looking for Romeo. Romeo then arrives, and the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio takes place onstage. When Mercutio is wounded, Tybalt flees, and Benvolio helps a cursing Mercutio offstage. He returns shortly with the news that Mercutio is dead. It is at this point that Tybalt "returns to the scene" as the question asks. Romeo then explodes at him, telling him that Mercutio's spirit is just overhead and "either you or I or both must go with him." Then follows the fight between Romeo and Tybalt.
