How is Romeo characterized in Act III scene I when he murders Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet?

At the point when Romeo murders Tybalt, we see a common
character trait of Romeo: impulsiveness. This means he acts quickly
out of emotion. At all other times we have seen him act impulsive when he went to the party and
within moments of seeing Juliet went and kissed her.


Another couple
of traits we see of Romeo's in this moment are his defensiveness 
and loyalty. It is a good friend who will seek to give justice when
a friend has been wronged by an enemy. But the problem was that killing is always wrong. To
commit a crime on behalf of another shows great loyalty.


You could
also call Romeo superstitious. He comments after the murder that he
is fortune's fool. He is referring to fate or destiny and how chance has just defeated him. He
had his whole world being set up right around him, but then it all came crashing
down.
