Act 3 Scene 1

"Thou art like one of those fellows that, when he

thee!'; and by the operation of the second cup draws

him on the drawer, when indeed there is no need."

One of the reasons why the fight breaks out is male bravado and tendency towards violence. Choose the quote below that best supports this...

• We talk here in the public haunt of men.

  Either withdraw unto some private place,                      

  Or reason coldly of your grievances,

  Or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us.

• Come, come, thou art as hot a jack in thy mood as

  any in Italy; and as soon moved to be moody, and as

  soon moody to be moved.

• Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage!

  Tybalt, Mercutio, the prince expressly hath

  Forbid this bandying in Verona streets.

and you shall find me a grave man."

As dearly as mine own — be satisfied."
