I believe she will be upset as Romeo has killed her cousin was from her family and was loved maybe the love towards Romeo
Might not be strong enough

Shakespeare’s primary source for Romeo and Juliet was a poem by Arthur Brooke called The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Iuliet, written in 1562. He also could have known the popular tale of Romeo and Juliet from a collection by William Painter, entitled The Palace of Pleasure, which was written sometime before 1580.

Shakespeare also likely read the three sources on which Brooke’s poem and Painter’s story were based — namely, Giulietta e Romeo, a novella by the Italian author Matteo Bandello, written in 1554; a story in a collection called Il Novellio, by the widely-popular fifteenth-century writer Masuccio Salernitano; and the Historia Novellamente Ritrovata di Due Nobili Amanti or A Story Newly Found of two Noble Lovers, written by Luigi Da Porto and published in 1530.

How does Shakespeare show the audience that Romeo kills tybalt due to male pride?

“My very friend , hath got this mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain’d with Tybalt’s slander”

He is getting pride as he is saying he will get revenge

“Either thou or I, or both, must go with him”

One of us will die and will go with mercutio where ever he is
