“Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.” (1.1.57) Benvolio is Romeo’s cousin. He is the nephew of the Montagues. Benvolio is a good, honest character. Benvolio is trustworthy, caring, and a practical character who is always there for Romeo. Benvolio is a trustworthy, sensible character. After the fight with Tybalt, Benvolio is asked by the prince what happened. He tells the story as it is without taking favor to any sides. Act 3, scene 1, line 145 states, “Tybalt, here, slain

Benvolio:The Best Kind Of Friend Benvolio is many things, but his most striking quality is the kind of friend he is. Benvolio is the best kind of friend for anyone that needs one.

Mercutio is the complete opposite, he acts with his emotions and his emotions are erratic. The better friend between Mercutio and Benvolio is Benvolio due to the following reasons, he wants to make sure nothing is bothering Romeo, and he listens and cares about what Romeo has to say about his irrational love life.

Benvolio is the cousin of Romeo and can be considered his spiritual advisor, a very peaceful and calm person. Mercutio is Romeo’s best friend, rather bold and somewhat aggressive.
