Tybalt wants to fight Romeo primarily because Romeo crashed the Capulet party, which Tybalt sees as a serious insult and dishonor to his family. Tybalt, fiercely loyal to the Capulet name and quick to anger, cannot accept Romeo's presence and challenges him to a duel to uphold his family's honor. When Romeo refuses to fight because he secretly loves Tybalt (having just married Juliet, Tybalt's cousin), Tybalt is confused and enraged, seeing Romeo's refusal as weakness or insult. This fuels Tybalt's desire to fight Romeo even more intensely.
In summary:
- Tybalt feels Romeo has dishonored the Capulets by attending their party uninvited.
- Tybalt is angry and wants to punish Romeo for this perceived insult.
- Romeo's refusal to fight frustrates Tybalt and escalates the conflict.
- Tybalt's loyalty and passion for family honor drive him to confront Romeo aggressively.
Thus, Tybalt's motivation to fight Romeo is rooted in family loyalty, honor, and anger over Romeo's intrusion at the Capulet feast and Romeo's perceived disrespect.
