Depends. If you are talking about Act 3 scene 1, where both him and Mercutio are killed, then you would notice that he talks politely at the start, when normally he is a fierce character.

What is Romeos motivation for killing Tybalt?

Tybalt has taken advantage of the feud between his auntie's husband's relatives the Capulets (no actual relation to Tybalt), to show off his fighting skills. From Mercutio we hear that he is "the very butcher of a silk button", a trained swordsman and duellist, whose only pleasure is in fighting. Tybalt uses the fact that Romeo crashed the Capulet party as a pretext for challenging him, but it is a flimsy excuse and that is all it is. Tybalt will just as happily fight with Mercutio as with Romeo.


Why does mercutio decide to fight Tybalt and save romeo?

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.

Why is Tybalt called the prince of cats?

Tybalt the Cat was a well known character in the popular medieval of Reynard the Fox in Shakespeare's time. That particular character (Tybalt the Cat) was vicious and argued a lot. This is very much like Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet; Tybalt is a hot-headed character who argues with most of the characters and never hesitates to draw his weapon. Tybalt may have been named so because he was very much like Tybalt the Cat and it gave the audience an idea of who he was. Almost like a stereotype, so the character has guidlenes to his personality and actions. stealthy, sly and swift moving - a skilled swordsman/fighter

Derogatory name Mercutio uses for Tybalt?

He calls him a "rat-catcher"; "Tybalt, thou rat-catcher, will you walk?". He also calls him "Prince of Cats" in act II Scene IV and "King of Cats" Act III Scene I. A cat is I suppose a rat-catcher so it boils down to the same thing.
