Romeo And Juliet Character Analysis

He is always trying to cheer Romeo up and have him talk about his problems to help him recover from heartbreak and tragedy. When Romeo was devastated by Rosaline’s choice of chastity, Benvolio was always there to help him through his emotions. Benvolio asks him what is wrong and lets him speak his emotions of being “out of love.” (1.1.155-165) This really shows how much of a caring person he is. He is a very kind person just wanting to help family out in a time of their distress. His kindness also comes along with advice. When Romeo was depressed he suggested that he look at other women. That this would help him get over Rosaline. “By giving Liberty unto thine eyes: Examine other beauties.” (1.1.220) He is kind enough to want to help his family, so he does. Even though Romeo remains stubborn, he says nothing but words of kindness and support to Romeo. Benvolio also has faith about

He knew how to help keep him out of trouble, and acted as a figure of guidance towards Romeo. He always knew whether or not to get involved in Romeo’s business, and didn’t step in at the wrong time. One of the many examples of Benvolio acting as somewhat of a parent towards Romeo is after he had killed Tybalt out of outrage and anger. After Tybalt has officially died Benvolio states, “Romeo away, be gone! The citizens are up and Tybalt slain.

In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet the opposition of Benvolio and Tybalt is deeply emphasized because they serve as dramatic foil to each other, Tybalt demonstrates the good and evil natures that exist in man, thus proving that evil is a destructive force.

In the novel Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Benvolio have a conversation that reveals an abundance of information about Romeos character, and his current state of mind.

This piece of evidence confirms that Romeo is depressed.

In “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” the younger generation, Romeo, Juliet, and Paris, and the older generation, Nurse, Capulets, and Friar, both had similarities and differences which had caused the end.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the character Benvolio is one of Romeo’s comrades and is considered a peace keeper at this point in the play. Those two aspects of Benvolio are displayed in the slide made above. When Romeo confesses about his love for Rosaline and asks how he should forget about her, Benvolio gave him the tip of “examin[ing] other beauties” (1.1.236). Rather than leaving Romeo without any advice, Benvolio decides to bestow on some tips. A visual I decided to use for this is a thumbs-up. Another example of Benvolio being one of Romeo’s friends is that Benvolio was searching for Romeo, by calling out his name, even knowing that “he ran [towards the orchard wall] and leapt [the wall]” (2.1.6). Even when Romeo is out

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 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.

Through Benvolio’s language during the scene he shows that he a loving peacekeeper. “The day is hot, the Capulets are abroad. And if we shall meet not ‘scape a brawl.” That quote shows how Benvolio is worried about the Capulets and how if they come close they could get in a brawl. “By my head, here come the Capulets” this quote shows that Benvolio is worried about the seeing the Capulets. ”Withdraw unto some private place.” This last quote shows that the

For example, when Benvolio asks Romeo what is wrong, Romeo states, “This love that thou hast shown / Doth add more grief to too much of mine own” (1.1.188-189). Romeo’s caring and loving and is revealed in these lines. The way Romeo acts when Benvolio cries displays an empathetic side of Romeo. In addition, when Romeo explains to Benvolio all he has done by stating that, “ She will not stay the siege of loving terms, / Nor bide th’ encounter of assailing eyes, / Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold” (1.1.214-216).
