Tybalt is shown as a villain in Romeo and Juliet but how much can he really be blamed? Tybalt is a proud and patriotic Capulet cousin, his name reflects his personality (tybalt means the prince of cats) he is a rare swordsman and fights with honor, although he does take personal insults very far he can be viewed in two ways, first as a racist, prejudiced against the Montagues or second as an honorable man …showed first 75 words of 782 total…

…showed last 75 words of 782 total…not have killed Tybalt and instead gone to mourn over Mercutio. This would have meant that Tybalt would have been punished instead of Romeo.
