Characters and Conflict in "Romeo and Juliet," Part 3
Assignment: Analyzing Characters
Tybalt: This, by his voice, should be a Montague.
Fetch me my rapier, boy. What! dares the slave
Come hither, cover'd with an antick face,
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
Now, by the stock and honour of my kin,
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.
—Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
