He is now angry with Tybalt and wants revenge. ‘Fire-eyed fury be my conduct now.’ Romeos change in mood is significant as it leads to the death of Tybalt and Romeo being banished . Shakespeare also uses dramatic irony to make Act 3 Scene 1 such an intense and significant scene. When Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt all the other characters are confused as to why. ‘Good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own.’ The audience know the reason why Romeo won’t fight Tybalt, which is because Romeo and Juliet are now married.
Romeo doesn’t want any trouble with Tybalt. He tells Mercutio to go, and to stop teasing Tybalt, as he knows that Tybalt, being an expert swordsman, will fight Mercutio to the death, with Tybalt defeating Mercutio: “Draw Benvolio…Hold Tybalt. Good Mercutio.” Sct 3 Scene 1 Line 87-91. This shows Romeo is protective over his friends. With Mercutio now dead, as a result of Tybalt’s thrust under Romeo’s arm, Romeo is very annoyed and wants to take
He is both sorry for Romeo after his unsuccessful attempts at a relationship with Rosaline and is worried for Romeo if he accepts the challenge from Tybalt, because Mercutio knows that Tybalt is the better swordsman. It is also learned that Mercutio thinks very highly of himself when he states, “Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy” (2.4.59). By stating this, he is implying that he has better manners and politeness than the people around him. During this scene, Romeo’s cousin and friend Benvolio is also further characterized. From the scene, it is shown that Benvolio is a caring friend and is considerate of Romeo’s feelings.
Set, your brother, is an evil man, who hates you and will do you harm (Osiris and Isis, 205)”. This proves that Isis knows Set is an evil man and she convinces Osiris not to go but he did not listen. Secondly, in the myth it states “Osiris, having no guile or bitterness in his own heart, believed others to be as himself, and with the words of confidence and cheer he tried to cast out the fear that troubled his wife; then, putting on his most splendid robes, he went in all trust and friendship to his brother’s banquet (Osiris and Isis, 205)”. This proves that even after Isis warns him about how Set will do him harm, he still goes. He fails to see the real truth about him.
Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm, and he dies after cursing plagues on the houses of the Capulets and the Montagues. Romeo then angry after the death of Mercutio lashes out and kills Tybalt . Benvolio tells Romeo to run, because of the Prince's death threat. Benvolio tells the Prince what happened, amd sice both family's lost a member , the Prince banishes Romeo from Verona . The conflict adds to the story by making it interesting to read, and gives the reader the feeling that anything can happen at any time.
He immediately loses his love for Rosaline. Romeo then starts using opposites (“As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear”) and complements (“Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear :”) to describe Juliet and the way he feels about her. To also add more felling and character Shakespeare also has Romeo speak in rhyming couplets. However, to oppose those sweet, loving and tender thoughts. Shakespeare has Tybalt (probably named this as it is so close to ‘tyrant’) saying that he will kill him in honour of his family because he has come to his family’s ceremony.
Benvolio also shows that he is pacifistic. In the beginning of the play Sampson and Gregory, servants of Capulet, start a fight with Abram, a servant of Montague. Benvolio enters and tries to break up the fight, then Tybalt enters and says to Benvolio “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.” (I, i, 64-65) Benvolio then says “I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, or manage it to part these men with me.” (I, i, 66-67) This proves that Benvolio is pacifistic because he does not want to cause any violence and wants to prevent it from happening.
The reason for this is to make it like what people would do in modern times. Another difference is the scene changes. In the Zefferelli version, Tybalt, Romeo, and Mercutio are taunting each other and playing around. After Tybalt stabs Mercutio he didn’t think he actually hurt him and everyone thought he was just playing around and faking an injury to make fun of Tybalt. In the modern version, Mercutio and Romeo are clearly afraid of Tybalt.
Creon states that he is not interested in being king as he is contented with his present position of wealth and power. The final example of verbal irony in Oedipus is when Oedipus ridicules Tiresias for his blindness but Oedipus is also a sightless, witless and senseless man to the truth of his own actions. The situational irony in Oedipus Rex is something a little harder to spot when first reading this play. The first example of situational irony is not in the play but it is an event that is talked about throughout; Oedipus killing his father, Laius without knowing that it is his father. Another example is the plague striking the city as punishment for incest.
Though there is no point where he is specific about his main motivation to destroy Othello and everything he loves. Yet in act one scene one he states his prime motivation is bitterness at having been passed over for the promotion to be Othello’s lieutenant by Cassio. Iago is also motivated by his confidence in his abilities to destroy Othello and his life without detection. His anger towards Othello is mostly caused by his suspicion that Othello slept with his wife. Iago states it himself in 1.3.387-388 “I hate the Moor; And it is thought abroad that twixt my sheets”.
