Act I Scene 5: Lord Capulet the Pacifist vs. Tybalt the Aggressive

Scene 1.1 Capulet says to tybalt, "Content thee, gentle coz. Let him alone." This early scene in the play shows the possiblility of the Capulets and the Montagues ending their rivalry. Tybalt has informed Lord Capulet that a Montague has come to their party, and Lord Capulet tells Tybalt to be patient and to not disrupt the party.  Tybalt on the other hand, is much more aggressive towards the other party and is ready to attack Romeo. Although Lord Capulets intention was to prevent the party to turn into one big fight, his actions demonstrate how the two parties could end their differences. This could be the first step towards the two families becoming friends.
