In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Tybalt is one of the famous and amazing
characters. Tybalt shows the behavior of Toxic Masculinity which is not good behavior, he
always shows negative attitudes and also tries to fight with his enemy and kill them. Toxic
Masculinity involves different behaviors like Toughness, Antifeminity, and Power. Toxic
masculinity also discourages men from getting mental health treatment. Depression, anxiety,
substance abuse issues, and mental health problems may be viewed as weaknesses. For instance,
Amy Morin says “ In a 2015 study found that men who bought into traditional notions of
masculinity held more of a negative attitude about seeking mental health services compared to
those with more flexible gender attitudes. ( Amy Morin). In simplest words, people who have
Toxic Masculinity always show negative attitudes toward others. In the Future, if Toxic
Masculinity continues there will be no friendship or unity, and people will start to live alone and
they can be depressed. The people who have toxic Masculinity always show negative attitudes to

but Romeo is a Montague. Tybalt says, “This by his voice, should be a Montague( to his PAGE)

scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a
