Shakespeares Tybalt and Yosemite Sam..?

Question

I need to compare a character from Romeo and Juliet to a cartoon character. Someone gave me advice to use Yo Samity Sam, becuase theyre both agressive/fighting type of people. Can someone write a short paragraph on the similiarities between them for 10 points?

Answer 1

I disagree with the use of Yosemite SAM. The story of Romeo and Juliet isn't supposed to be about aggression but about the inability and consequence of holding onto grudges.
What about Popeye and Olive oil? They're always getting into trouble and the Character Brutus could be a sybol for the trouble that was caused by the feud and the ultimate suicides of romeo and Juliet. You could also say that if Popeye had nothing to give him extra strength (spinach) than maybe these two love birds might have thought about suicide as the only way to be together and away from the wrath of Brutus. You may also use wimpy in the way that the bindings of family are an obsession in this literary classic. As wimpy always had burgers on the brain so to does the two families have honor and fear of disgrace on their minds soo much so that they were blinded and the result of the two lovers taking their lives was the wake up call to them to resolve the feud just as if someone could introduce wimpy to a better food source or have him sue MC Donald's so he can buy all the burger king burgers he'd want!

Answer 2

I'm not sure I'd use Yosemite Sam.
I understand the idea as both Sam and Tybalt are agressive, but I think the key is that Tybalt's hatred and agressiveness is directed. Furthermore, he acted on his hatred, and suffered consequences.
I think Tybalt is a good character to use in your comparison, but I would use a character whose hatred is directed. Possibly Elmer Fudd as he is always searching for the "wascaly wabbit" but the "wabbit" always gets the best of him.
