Tropisms and Nastic Movements. Tropisms are growth responses of plants that result in curvatures of plant organs toward or away from certain stimuli. Tropisms can be positive, in which case the plant will bend toward a stimulus, or negative, in which case the plant will bend away from a stimulus.
Enraged, Romeo declares that his love for Juliet has made him effeminate, and that he should have fought Tybalt in Mercutioâs place. When Tybalt, still angry, storms back onto the scene, Romeo draws his sword. They fight, and Romeo kills Tybalt.
Mercutio saved his friend Romeo from getting killed by Tybalt and Tybalt died because he killed Mercutio while trying to defend his familyâs honor. Tybalt and Mercutio are like a ying-yang, completely opposites, yet each have a part of the other somewhere inside.
