Dear Tybalt

Dear Tybalt,


I am writing to you to advise you to not try to initiate a fight with Romeo Montague. No good will come from a fight. You must let go of your anger for him and his friends about coming to the capulet houses party as your uncle, Capulet did. If you fight Romeo, it won't just be a fight between you two but the beginning of a war between the Montages and Capulets

Firstly, if you were to fight Romeo only more Montague and Capulet blood will be spilled, worsening the already strained peace between the two feuding families. You aren't just risking yourself and Romeo. Think of your cousin, Juliet and what might become of her in the future if she were to be thrown in the middle of this violence or what it would do to her if she were to lose someone she loved dearly.

Secondly, not only the Montague and Capulet families are in danger if you initiate a fight with Romeo. Friends of both families and bystanders who never had any bad blood with the Capulet family are also in danger of the fight between your families. The same goes for the servingmen of both families, who are trying to show pride of the family they serve.

This will not just be a fight between you and Romeo but a war between both of your families. It may help to salvage your personal pride and dignity but at what cost? The prince is already holding your family and the Montagues on thin ice for your last fight. Don't sacrifice the civil blood of your family for a petty duel, prove the Capulet family better by being more dignified without the violence, but rather with maturity and wisdom. You may save yourself and your family a lot of loss, heartache, bloodshed and conflict. 

Don't do something you will regret.

Sincerely, 

 Stella Lowery

  1. I totally agree with everything you just said. I honestly think Tybalt is the worst. He acts like an entitled child. It is absolutely terrible

  2. Ditto, Ellie. But I like how you chose to talk some sense into Tybalt, because most chose Romeo or Juliet or Friar Lawrence; your piece is really unique and in-depth!

  3. I love how you explain how innocent bystanders who aren't in either house are effected by a feud that they aren't part of! Also 100% agree with Ellie :)

  5. Fairest Stella of Lowery,

    Thy anger is too great. Romeo is a Montague, and he must be brought to justice. I must send this letter unfinished, Warren of Ms. has called thy name.
