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.
In Act III, scene 1, Tybalt accosts Romeo's friend Mercutio, and Benvolio in a public square while they were searching for Romeo. Romeo enters the scene as they fight. Tybalt tries to provoke Romeo into fighting, but he is now married to Juliet, Tybalt's cousin, so Romeo does not return his insults.
