Tybalt is a character in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. He is the nephew of Lady Capulet. Tybalt is not a very likeable character. He is arrogant and quick to anger. However, he is also a skilled swordsman. This makes him a formidable opponent.
Tybalt kills Mercutio in a duel and in revenge Romeo kills Tybalt and is exiled.

| 3 | I,5,676 | This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave Come hither, cover’d with an antic 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. |
