- Benvolio MercutioStreets of Verona (Noon)
- Romeo will answer it(II.IV.10)
- A challenge, on my life.(II.IV.9)
- Benvolio and Mercution discuss Tybalt's letter to Romeo challenging him to a duel. (Revenge)
- Nay, he will answer the letter's master, how he dares, be dared.(II.IV.12)
- Any man that can write may answer a letter(II.IV.10-11)
- The reader can infer the motives of Tybalt's challenge due to a scene earlier in act 1. In it, he is outraged to find out Romeo's attendance to Lord Capulet's party, and vows to pay him back.
- This relates to the motif of revenge, because Tybalt saw Romeo's attendance at Lord Capulet's party as a strike to the Capulet's pride, and challenging Romeo to a duel is his way of getting revenge on the Montagues for it.
- This relates to the overall theme of opposing forces because this duel relates to the Capulet-Montague feud. Shakespeare is correlating the existence of opposing forces to revenge; the tensions and grudges of opposing groups can culminate into revenge over petty things, like attending parties.
