In Act 3, Scene 1, Tybalt confronts Romeo and challenges him to a duel. What is the dramatic irony of this scene that motivates Romeo to forgive the insult by Tybalt?

Answer and Explanation:

Dramatic irony is a technique used by authors in which the audience knows something that the characters do not. In Act 3, Scene 1 of "Romeo and Juliet", Tybalt, who belongs to Juliet's family, wants to duel with Romeo. What Tybalt does not know is that Romeo has married Juliet in secret. Romeo tells Tybalt he will not fight with him because he has reason to love him now - in other words, they are family now. This is the dramatic irony in the scene, for Tybalt does not understand what Romeo means by these words.
