What Does Tybalt Do That Dangerous?

Answer 1

Tybalt is important because he is the foundation of the story; without him there probably wouldn't be a story. If Tybalt hadn't have fought Mercutio and killed him, Romeo wouldn't have killed Tybalt in return, and therefore wouldn't have been banished. If Romeo wasn't banished, he would be able to stay with Romeo and Juliet and they would not have died in the end. So you see, it is like the domino effect.

Answer 2

He is Juliet's cousin. Simplistically you could say that in the play Benvolio is the good guy and Tybalt is the bad guy. But Tybalt performs an important function--his desire to quarrel with Romeo and to perpetuate the feud puts Romeo in the impossible position of having to choose between his family and friends and his wife's family. Without Tybalt, Romeo would not have been banished and there would be no tragedy.

Answer 3

Tybalt is Juliet's cousin who has anger issues. He's dangerous because he is hot headed. He has a quick temper.

Answer 4

He starts fights. Fights with swords, that is.

Answer 5

He fights with people with swords, and not the kind without pointy ends either.

Answer 6

Because he is gay.
