Revenge and aftermath in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Tybalt swears revenge against Romeo for his presence at the Capulet masque ball, "I shall withdraw but this intrusion, now seeming sweet, shall convert to bitt'rest gall." (Act 1, scene 5) It may not be word-perfect but I know it's not far off!

Answer 2

GHOST: I am thy father's spirit,Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,And for the day confined to fast in fires,Till the foul crimes done in my days of natureAre burnt and purged away. But that I am forbidTo tell the secrets of my prison-house,I could a tale unfold whose lightest wordWould harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,Thy knotted and combined locks to partAnd each particular hair to stand on end,Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:But this eternal blazon must not beTo ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!If thou didst ever thy dear father love--HAMLET: O God!GHOST: Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.

Answer 3

Romeo has a different feelings about vengeance, particularly in Scene 1 of Act 3. "Away to heaven respective lenity and fire-eyed fury be my conduct now!" is what he says before he kills Tybalt. "O, I am Fortune's Fool!" is what he says after.

Answer 4

Tybalt and Mercutio engage in a duel, and Mercutio is killed. Romeo then immediately attacks Tybalt in revenge, since Mercutio was his friend. But Romeo's real motive for anger is that Mercutio has blamed him for his death, and Romeo himself believes this to be true. Romeo's anger is therefore really at himself and not at Tybalt, but it is easier to transfer that anger to Tybalt than have to face the possibility that he has caused his friend's death.

Answer 5

Yes, absolutely. There is a revenge and an aftermath in Romeo and Juliet.
