"Tybalt is focused on hate, but Romeo is focused on love."

Explanation: Romeo comes to the Capulet party for love (to see Rosaline, and later he’s enchanted by Juliet), while Tybalt immediately reacts to Romeo’s presence with anger and a desire for violence, calling him a Montague villain and demanding a fight. That sharp contrast in attitudes—Romeo’s romantic, peace-seeking mood versus Tybalt’s hot-blooded hostility—makes Tybalt a dramatic foil to Romeo.
