How do I get angry?
I'm playing Tybalt from Romeo and Juliet and for you guys who already read the play, you know that he's an aggressive character. The problem is, I don't know how to get angry (or at least at will). Can you guys help me with this situation? Please and thank you.

Unless this makes you too sad, think about how you would feel towards a guy who slaughtered your whole family.
be a tsundere
You.. pretend

Play angry birds
well you can always remember an event that really made you irritated/angry, and just roll that thought around in your mind until your mood turns from sour to mad.
become a girl and wait a month
You're playing Tybalt? I hated him.
watch Attack on Titan and copy Eren Jaeger's anger.
Think about characters that shown anger and then just copy them.
Think about coming home from school extremely exhausted. Then you lay in your bed and you realize you are sinking into some kind of mush that smells horrid. You get up and realize that someone crapped all over your bed and you were laying in it and it got on your/hair.
@permadragons I have a social life thank you very much.
@xtripled Uh... I don't really "hate" anything to Tybalt's extent. The closest thing I have to that is hating stupid people. And I don't even hate them that much! I pity them.
@NonSonoFronz It's a full scale production that I have to perform in front of the freshman class. A gay remake of R&J? That sounds interesting. I would actually pay money to see that actually Lol. Who was the gay couple?
I tried doing that, but it doesn't really work. Every time I tried to put myself in Tybalt's shoes, it ends up sounding really silly and unrealistic. I understand Tybalt's character. Heck, I did a freaking two-page character analysis on him. I just can't act the part. Nevertheless, I will try to go with your advice.
@Duzz I don't believe that Tybalt really cares for any of the people that died before him in the play. I think it was Mercutio.
Think of how unfair it was when a loved one died. *sobs*
Are you actually going to be a full-scale production, or just like a skit or something?
I actually was the assistant lighting designer for my University's performance of Shakespeare's R&J which is literally a gay remake of the original. It was pretty rad.
I don't act, but you need to put yourself in Tybalt's shoes. He can't stand Romeo. He's some dirty Montague.
Who somehow got into the Capulet feast and caused a ruckus and got Juliet to fall for him.
Romeo then ignored his challenge to a duel which at the time is totally worth getting angry over.
Romeo is your sworn enemy by nature, and then he showed up on your home turf and then completely ignores you when you are trying to protect it. AND YOUR WOMEN.
