"The Roaring Boy: Contested Masculinity on the Early Modern Stage" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc1912/ Author: Gates, Daniel. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association 46, no. 1 (2013): 43–54. Annotation: Draws on Shakespeare to examine the "roaring boy" character type in early modern drama, arguing that "the roaring boy marks the convergence of several definitions of masculinity in early modern England, revealing its categorical incoherence." Briefly mentions that Laertes and Tybalt "present the spectacle of young, headstrong masculinity carried to a tragic extreme."
