Question

In ACT I of ROMEO & JULIET, what angers Tybalt at Lord Capulet's party?

Answer 1

Answer: D. Lord Capulet tells Tybalt he needs to leave the party.

Explanation:

TYBALT

I’ll strike him dead, and hold it not a sin.

CAPULET

Why, how now, kinsman? Wherefore storm you so?

TYBALT

Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe.

A villain that is hither come in spite,

To scorn at our ceremony this night.

CAPULET

Young Romeo, is it?

TYBALT

‘Tis he, that villain Romeo.

CAPULET

Content thee, gentle cousin. Let him alone.

He bears himself like a real gentleman.

And, to say truth, Verona brags of him

To be a virtuous and well-governed youth.

I would not, for the wealth of all this town,

Here in my house do him disparagement.

Therefore be patient, take no note of him.

It is my will, so if this thou respect,

Show a fair presence, and give up those frowns

Which are ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.

TYBALT

It fits, when such a villain is a guest.

I’ll not endure him.

CAPULET

He shall be endured.

What, lordful boy! I say he shall. Go to.

Am I the master here or you? Go to.

You’ll not endure him. God shall mend my soul!

You’ll make a mutiny among my guests:

You will set chaos here. You’ll be the cause!

TYBALT

But Uncle, he shames us.

CAPULET

Go to, go to.

You are a saucy boy. Is’t so, indeed?

This trick may chance to scathe you, I know what.

Must you contradict me? Marry, ‘tis time–

[To GUESTS] Well said, my hearts — [To TYBALT] You are a young fool. Go.

Be quiet, or — [To SERVANTS] More light, more light! — [To TYBALT] For shame,

I’ll make you quiet. — [To GUESTS] What, cheerly my hearts!

TYBALT

Patience forced, with willful choler meeting,

Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting.

I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall,

Now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall.

Exit TYBALT
