TYBALT: I’ll not endure him.
CAPULET: He shall be endured:
What, goodman boy! I say, he shall: go to;
Am I the master here, or you? go to.
You’ll not endure him! God shall mend my soul!
You’ll make a mutiny among my guests!
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5. The impulsive and aggressive Tybalt draws his sword to confront Romeo, engaged that he has gatecrashed the Capulet ball. But old Capulet reprimands him and instructs him to let Romeo go. Capulet doesn’t want Tybalt to cause a disturbance among his guests at the ball. This is an example of situational irony, since Capulet has every reason to kick out a hated Montague like Romeo from his party.
