Benvolio In Romeo And Juliet

“Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- it’s everything except what it is”(I.i.165).

Benvolio is a very important character in the play Romeo, and Juliet, because he acts as a peacemaker through the whole play, he is a good friend of Romeo and cares for him and he ultimately brings Romeo and Juliet together. He is a peacemaker because when the fight breaks out in Act 1 scene 1 he tries to stop the fight, and use rationality over brute force. Afterward, when asked about the fight he answers honestly and has no bias in his story when telling the lords of what happened. He is also is a good friend to Romeo and cares for him. Romeo closes himself from the outside world and doesn't talk to anybody about his feeling, yet when Benvolio asked he suddenly no longer feels the need to hide his feelings.

He finds out that there is going to be a ball taking place at the Capulets and Rosaline is going to be there. He pressures Romeo to go to the ball last minute when he says "Your lady's love against some other maid that I will show you shining at this feast". This quote proves that Benvolio was peer pressuring Romeo into going to the ball so he would get over Rosaline. In addition, Benvolio is the one who brought the fact that Rosaline was going to Romeo's attention when he says "At this same ancient feast of Capulets'. sups the fair Rosaline whom thous so loves".

In Act 3, Mercutio and Benvolio are out walking in Verona. Benvolio asks Mercutio to go inside before an incident like before happens again with the Capulet. Mercutio tells him to stop criticizing others and that not all Capulet are going to want to start a fight. Tybalt then enters the scene.

Romeo ends up killing Tybalt and Benvolio tells him to leave the scene before many people start to notice. The prince enters the scene. Benvolio explains what happened.

Two star-crossed lovers fall in love, but can’t be together because of their parent's long-lived feud with each other. The kingdoms of the Montagues and the Capulets takes place in Verona. Romeo the son of the Montagues falls madly in love with Juliet the Capulet’s only daughter. To try and help the two with their love story, a Friar, a nurse, a cousin, and a friend join Romeo and Juliet in this journey. In the end, nothing works out like you would think. Friends and family can only do so much, but sometimes the way you want a thing to turn out don’t always work that way. Benvolio should be punished in Romeo and Juliet because he told Romeo to go to the party and aqquire his head off of Rosaline, and Friar Laurence and the nurse should be pardoned

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the two secondary characters, Benvolio and Friar Lawrence are both intended to be voices of reason in Romeo's hectic life by the playwright. The men are Romeo's confidants, Benvolio is Romeo's cousin and the Friar is Romeo's "ghostly father" (2.2.45). They frequently give Romeo advice on how to conduct his love life. When Romeo was head over heals for Rosaline, they discouraged the ill-advised romance because they knew it would end in calamity because she was a Capulet. Benvolio urges Romeo to "Compare her face with some that I will show," (1.2.88) at the Capulet feast so Romeo will forget about her. Friar Lawrence thinks in the same vein saying "That's my good son," (2.3.47) when Romeo denies

He's constantly trying to diffuse conflict and encourage others to seek peaceful resolutions. For example, when Tybalt and Mercutio engaged in the heat of the argument, Benvolio intervenes saying “I pray thee good mercutio, Let's retire the day is hot. The capsules abroad and if we meet we shall not escape a brawl” (Act 3 scene 1). Benvolio's actions further emphasize his peaceful nature. He attempts to meditate between the feuding families and prevent unnecessary bloodshed and in Act 1 when the Street brawl is happening he tries to stop the fighting saying “part fools put up your swords you know not what you do” Act 1).

In one if William Shakespeare's plays, "Romeo and Juliet", Mercutio, Romeo's best friend, makes a speech, the Queen Mab speech. According to Mercutio, Queen Mab is a tiny, mischievous fairy that rides around in an "empty hazelnut" as a chariot, drawn by a "team of little atomi" (I.IV. 59-69) and makes sleepers dream about good or bad things, for example, love. “Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love; On curtsies straight; o’er lawyer’ fingers, who straight dream of fees: o’er ladies’ lips, who straight on kisses dreams…” (I.IV.74-77)

In William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Benvolio and Tybalt are portrayed as characters with distinctly opposing personalities that is apparent in many different instances throughout the play. Romeo's best friend, Benvolio is depicted as the classic nice guy, incorporating all the personalities necessary to be one. He is calm, patient, an advocate of peace between the two rival families, and always viewing the cup as half full instead of half empty. During the first quarrel between the Montagues and the Capulets in the play, Benvolio tries to bring peace by saying " I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, / Or manage it to part these men with me " ( , , 62-63). It is apparent that Benvolio has good intentions and that he

Mercutio Is responsible for everything that as happened so far. It's his fault because of the way he handled the the fight. in many ways he used his own death along with Tybalt's death. He also cuales Romeo's banishment. It's all his fault everything.

Love is not always easy and is often times painful. This is true for Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. Without Benvolio's help, Romeo and Juliet would have never met; therefore, Benvolio deserves Romeo's recognition. First, Benvolio talks to Romeo about why Romeo is always mournful.

Mercutio is a relative of the prince and friend to Romeo. He is an eloquent man and becomes the center of attention whenever he appears in the play. It seems like he dominates Romeo with his teasing and irony. He mocks Romeo as he thinks he is too sentimental and tells him how foolish he is; he turns all of Romeo’s thought about love into sexual metaphors.

As said by Benvolio in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, “Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,/ Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!/”(1.1.165-166) Benvolio is basically saying that love seems so nice, peaceful, and innocent, but in reality it can be disastrous and can even sometimes be deadly. A world famous author/poet by the name of William Shakespeare wrote The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet back in the 1597. Romeo and Juliet is known as being the best love story in history. The main characters in Romeo and Juliet are as follows: Romeo and Juliet.

“‘What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?/ Turn thee, Benvolio. Look upon thy death’” (Romeo and Juliet.1.1.56-57). The person threatening Benvolio is Tybalt Capulet from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet was a play written in the mid-1590s, and it involved two “star crossed lovers” (Prologue.6), Romeo and Juliet, from feuding families that eventually took their lives to be together. One important character in the play was Tybalt, a teenager of the house of Capulet and Juliet’s cousin. He was very skilled with a sword and very prideful. Tybalt was killed by Romeo in 3.1. Even though Tybalt was directly killed by Romeo in Act 3 of Romeo and Juliet, there are many other factors that indirectly led to his downfall, including Romeo and Juliet’s secrets, the ancient grudge, and Tybalt’s pride.
