Explanation:
In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet,” Romeo fights Tybalt due to a culmination of factors. Firstly, Romeo is incensed and filled with rage when Tybalt slays his close friend, Mercutio. This act of violence is the catalytic event that leads to the ensuing fight. Additionally, Romeo is already emotionally charged due to his recent marriage to Juliet and his deep love for her. Moreover, Tybalt is a hot-headed and impulsive character who has a deep-seated hatred for Romeo, due to his presence at the Capulet’s ball. Tybalt views Romeo’s attendance at the Capulet’s ball as an act of aggression and intrusion.
