    After Tybalt's death, Romeo recriminates himself:

    This gentleman, the Prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurtIn my behalf; my reputation stain'dWith Tybalt's slander.--Tybalt, that an hourHath been my cousin! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminateAnd in my temper soften'd valour's steel! (3.1. 1.109-115)

    Romeo is ashamed that he has been weakened in his "valour" and integrity. Heretofore, he has been known for having been a rational and honourable man. But, in his "effeminancy" [weakness, powerlessness] he has become emotional and acted tempestuously.
