them came and fighting each other. There are so crowded and the

fighting is very disturbing peace of Verona until the Prince came to

separate them.

The gallant, young and noble gentleman,

The County Paris, at Saint Peters church,

Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride

5. Personal revenge between two noble families (Montague and Capulet)

too fast with sword. Revenge makes the two families think that

sword can solve the problem. It makes fighting everywhere.

Verona feels annoyed and angry because of the families feud

not think that revenge will makes what they have will be lost.

Revenge of two families make the next generations are lost

77
4.2 Discussion

From all the quotations above, the researcher described personal revenge

as reflected by antagonist character in Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet into five

statements of the problems. All the characters are almost antagonist character and

protagonist character can be antagonist character because of personal revenge, for

example Romeo who becomes antagonist character because of his best friends

death. If a servant of Montague met a Capulet servant in the street, a fight would

almost certainly result and the fight would soon take on the proportions of a battle

as one person after another arrived on the scene. Balthasar is Romeos servant and

Abraham is servant to Montague, while Sampson and Gregory are servants to

Capulet. From the dialogue above, Sampson showed his hatred to Montague by

doing bite his thumb. Sampson did it expressly. It means that Sampson challenges

Abraham to fight. Sampson said that if the law of his side, if he said yes (really

bite his thumb at Abraham and Balthasar, Montague). Sampson still does not want

to say yes (bite his thumb at them). Gregory started his conversation by offering

quarrel which incisively the condition. Abraham does not want to fight them

(Capulet), but Sampson challenges Abraham that he serve as good a man as you.

Abraham does not believe that Sampson is good to fight and Finally they fight

each other to defend their own families.

Lord and Lady of two noble families came and fighting each other till

Prince Escalus came to separate them and said that if their vengeance (and

fighting) is disturbing the peace of Verona. There is a feast in a hall of Capulet and

Romeo with his best friend came to the feast. Romeo met Juliet and Tybalt saw

78
that Romeo came into the Capulets Hall. Tybalt is nephew of Lady Capulet who

has bad temper fiery when see Romeo. Tybalt wants kill Romeo, but he is on

fighting with Mercutio. In a public place, Tybalt with his servants come to fight

Romeo because last night in the feast, Romeo approached Juliet. But, Tybalt just

see Mercutio and debating. And then, Romeo came. Tybalt said that Romeo is his

man. Mercutio was very angry and did not receive if Tybalt calls Romeo like that.

It means that Romeo is trifling. Tybalt starts his talking to fight Romeo. Tybalt

said that Romeo is such a villain. But Romeo do protest that he never injuries

anyone (Capulet) and Romeo said that he love Tybalt and Capulet. Mercutio heard

that Romeo love Capulet (including Tybalt), Mercutio does not accept and feel his

pride in trampling. And then, Mercutio draws his sword which shows ready to

fight.

In the first battle, Mercutio was dead because of good intention of Romeo

to separate them. Romeo saw his friends death for the actions of Tybalt, Romeos

temper is overwhelming and full of ambition to fight Tybalt. Although, he does

not want to fight Tybalt before. Tybalt thinks that Mercutio asks him to come to

Tybalt with mocking tone. Romeo avenges the death of his friend where lives are

to be paid with their lives. He does not care who will be die on fighting. Whoever

is he, he must die (Romeo or Tybalt, or both of them) Tybalt and Romeo are on

fighting and Tybalt falls {died}.Romeo avenge Mercutio by killing Tybalt and

Tybalt died. Lord and Lady Montague knew that Mercutio died, they were hate

Capulet very much and Lord and Lady Capulet knew that Tybalt died, they were

hate Romeo very much. Revenge between two noble families more fiery and Lord

and Lady Capulet wants their daughter marry with County Paris, but Juliet does

79
not love Paris and she love Romeo. Juliet is forced to marry Count Paris by Lady

Capulet (and Lord Capulet) and Juliet does not want to marry with Count Paris.

Lord Capulet (Father) forces Juliet to marry Paris. If Juliet wants marry, she wants

marry with Romeo who hate of Lord and Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet said that

Juliet is not proud of his choice (marry with Count Paris). Lord Capulet thinks

that Count Paris is a good man and smart. Lord Capulets temper is overwhelming

and Juliet has to come to the church on her wedding with Count Paris. Lord

Capulet will drag Juliet to come to the church if needed. Paris came to the tomb

and he met Romeo who will meet Juliet in the tomb. Paris is not happy to see

Romeo go to the Capulets tomb because Romeo took the life of Tybalt and Juliet.

Paris considers will act maliciously he challenges Romeo to fight and must to die.

Romeo does not want to fight, but Paris think vengeance be pursued further than

death, so he wants to kill Romeo and they fight.

Because of their forbidden love, their love ended in death. Analyzing

Personal revenge as reflected by antagonist character in Shakespeares Romeo and

Juliet, the researcher got the result of five statements of the problem through

dialogue and through action.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his

career. The story was very interesting one because the story of Romeo and Juliet

different from other story. The main story of Romeo and Juliet was about the

enmity of two noble families, the Montague and the Capulet which exist

forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet and fighting (Montague and Capulet).

Hostilities which consequence personal revenge and fights between two noble

80
families, although the original cause had been long forgotten. There are many

fights occurred in the city street which disturb the peace Verona. The fighting

between two servants of two noble families, Lord and Lady capulet and Lord and

Lady Montague, Tybalt and Mercutio, Romeo and Tybalt, and Romeo with Count

Paris. Romeo and Juliets death is evidence of the two noble families feud

(including Mercutio, Tybalt, and Paris death) that their next generations are lost

because of their vengeance. Besides it, from this story the readers could take a

social value. Peace is beautiful and disastrous hostility. Peace is important in

human life to bring peace in the world.
