Benvolio is the peacekeeper in Romeo and Juliet. He wants no trouble, but gets pulled into it anyways. So naturally, he will try to maintain the peace instead of creating more issues. In Scene One, the Capulets and Montauges start quarreling on the streets over virtually nothing. Benvolio comes in and explains what had been going on, and tried to stop the arguing. “I drew part to them. In the instant came the fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared...” (1.1.101-105) He tells the Prince everything in aims of keeping the peace. Though it already happened, he still wants the fighting to be kept silent between the two feuding families. He does this by being truthful to the higher power. Benvolio also attempts to keep the peace in another situation by again telling the Prince about what had happened. When Mercutio killed by Tybalt, and Tybalt slain by Romeo, Benvolio couldn't help but say what had happened. “O Noble Prince, I can

The next day, Benvolio and Romeo have an encounter with Tybalt, who is still out to get Romeo for crashing the Capulet’s party. When Romeo refuses to duel with Tybalt, Mercutio steps in and accepts the duel. This duel, however, ultimately led to the killing of Mercutio by Tybalt. Out of guilt for Mercutio, Romeo attacks Tybalt killing him.

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

This also means that Benvolio is to blame for Mercutio’s death because he persuaded Romeo to go to this party where he met Juliet ‘Go hither, and with unattained eye / Compare her face with some that I shall show.’ If Benvolio hadn’t persuaded Romeo to go to Capulet’s party, he wouldn’t have met Juliet.

When Montegue replys that he and his many friends have, Benvolio then says “See, where he comes. So please you, step aside. I’ll know his grievance or be much denied. ”In this repy he is saying that here comes Romeo and that Benvolio will ask to see what is wrong and he will also be persistent until he gets his answer. Meanwhile an example of Tybalt being carless of his actions and the effects of them is during Act 1, Scene 5 at the Capulets party in which Romeo, Benvolio, And Mercutio were not invited but yet they decide to show up so Benvolio and Mercutio can show him that there are other ladies that Romeo could fall in love for.

In act 1 the people say “When I have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids; I will cut off their heads.” What the people are foreshadowing is that they will fight the others and in the end, they do. Once again with foreshadowing in act 1, the author states, "Take thou some new infection to thy eye, / And the rank poison of the old will die". What Benvolio is trying to talk Romeo out of his heart-ache for Rosaline, Benvolio advises him the quote above. It

Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's plays about tragedy. It is about two lovers who commit suicide when their feuding famillies prevent them from being together. The play has many characters, each with its own role in keeping the plot line. Some characters have very little to do with the plot but some have the

Put up thy sword, Or manage it to part these men with me." we can tell that he is peaceful. Throughout the play people seem to trust Benvolio: Lord and Lady Montague ask him to find out what the matter with Romeo is, and then Romeo confesses him sorrow about Rosaline who he is in love, and later on Prince Escalus asks him to explain two deaths. These three events show Benvoios's character as benevolent, composed and trustworthy.

“‘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.

Lord Capulet and Paris have some similar opinions of Juliet's marriage and so do Romeo and Friar which also influenced the end of the story negatively. Capulet thinks that Juliet should be married to Paris and Paris agrees with him. “But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart” (1.2.16) and Paris says “Younger than she are happy mothers made” (1.2.12). This means that Capulet is encouraging Paris to get Juliet’s heart and Paris influences him by telling him younger woman than her are married and happy mothers. This determines that the two of them want Juliet to get married to Paris because Capulet tells

Some may say Capulet wouldn’t have been the only one to protest Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, but he had the final say in Juliet’s life. Lord Capulet, “Send for the county.; Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(IV. ii. 21-22) If Lord Capulet never moved up the wedding, there would have been more time for the news to travel to Romeo. Many people argue that he was doing it for right reasons, that his decision was for the better of the family and he did it unintentionally, but it was still his fault for forcing this marriage so suddenly on Juliet. It is Lord Capulets fault because he is too protective over Juliet. Some people may say Juliet could have just stood up to her father and tell him straight forward how she wanted to marry Romeo and not Paris, however, he was just so overbearing and possessive, she was too nervous to come forward and say it. Lord Capulet. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee to a church Thursday or never after look at me in the face.” (III. v. 180-183) By Lord Capulet being so strict with Juliet, moving up the wedding, and being too protective, Juliet was forced to make up an incredibly dangerous plan, leading to the young couple committing suicide.

Within the play, Romeo, a young Montague boy, and Juliet, a youthful Capulet, meet at a party thrown by the Capulets. The two quickly fall in love, only finding out later that each belonged to a family that has been despised by their own family for years. Nonetheless, the two lovers continue to see each other after the party, and within the span of a day they have decided they want to get married. But for this to work, they both know

When Romeo and Benvolio are first together, Benvolio is sympathetic for his friend and how heartbroken he is over Rosaline. When most friends would insult Rosaline to help Romeo feel better, Benvolio tries to connect with him. Everyone laughs at Romeo and when he looks at Benvolio, he say “no, cuz, I rather weep”(1.1lines 209). After this Benvolio and Mucrutio encourage Romeo to crash the Capulet ball.(act 3 scene 1) Therfore Benvolio tries to keep the peace in this example by relating to Romeo and does not say anything bad about Rosaline but encourages him to meet new

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is
