  • "What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word/ As I hate hell, all Montages and thee"

    Tybalt's language is full of hatred, this quote suggests that he is one of the main catalysts in continuing the feud between the families. He compares the idea of "peace" and "hell" suggesting that Tybalt represents ugliness that lies below the surface of Veronese society.
