Question

In the article "Why Do We Hate?" the following definitions of hate are provided:



"Rene Descartes said hate was the urge to withdraw from something that is thought bad.

Aristotle saw hate as the incurable desire to annihilate an object.

In psychology, Sigmund Freud defined hate as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness."



Which definition most accurately explains Tybalt's motivation for taking part in the feud between the Montagues and Capulets? Use evidence from your reading of Romeo and Juliet this far to support your claim.

Answer 3

I don't remember much of Romeo and Juliet :/ I'm sorry..

Answer 4

Oh it's fine. Thanks.

Answer 5

My guess would be to reread the feud they have while having those definitions next to it. See which one seems to fit in the best.

Answer 6

I think the last one, but I'm not sure..

Answer 8

Right as he fights BENVOLIO, TYBALT says:
What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee:
Have at thee, coward!

"Rene Descartes said hate was the urge to withdraw from something that is thought bad." There is NO withdrawing there.

"Aristotle saw hate as the incurable desire to annihilate an object." that sounds close.

"In psychology, Sigmund Freud defined hate as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness." So does that.
