Benvolio

American educator and keynote speaker Stephen Covey claims that “Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate freedom… the power to choose, to respond, to change.”(Covey, Stephen). However, it is safe to say that when these “endowments” are taken away or restricted , that any human may have the impulse to retaliate against these regulations. An Elizabethan Era tragedy, Romeo and Juliet displays the consequences

understand. I was asked to Analyze a conversation between Romeo and his cousin Benvolio from act one scene one of Romeo and Juliet and this is the analysis I came up with. This conversation is used to reveal various facets of Romeo’s character in order to show how much of a sentimental person He seems to be. Furthermore, in This Conversation Romeo show his true colors when he acts very sentimental as he talks to Benvolio. Romeo fell in love with a woman by the name of Rosaline but the problem is she

remember. Romeo’s two friends are Benvolio and Mercutio, Benvolio is a peacekeeper and most of the time he thinks before he acts. 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. The first case that Benvolio wants to check and make sure nothing

and Benvolio throughout the tragedy. Although both companions show great qualities which make them two friends of great value, Benvolio is shown to be the exceptional friend that never seems to displease Romeo. Benvolio is a companion of Romeo that shows remorse, opens new opportunities for Romeo, and knows how to deal with Romeo’s character appropriately. Without Benvolio, Romeo would have deeply struggled when facing the obstacles he encountered throughout the entire play. Firstly, Benvolio always

fighting. The fight led to include members of each family, and ultimately led to the Pince issuing a word of caution to the two families. The fight started Monday mid- morning, and was at first, between Sampson, and Abraham, It then grew to include Benvolio and Tybalt. Until finally when Lord Capulet and Lord Montague arrived the Prince ordered for the fight to be diminished. Timon Lear stated that he noticed Sampson (a servant of the Capulets) bite his thumb as Abraham, (a servant of the Montagues

hatred, but Benvolio is not one of them. Shakespeare creates many characters in this classic tragedy, but Benvolio’s positive personality puts them all to shame. Benvolio’s name means good will and his benevolent personality does his name justice. Benvolio is the cousin and friend of Romeo and he often discourages fights and disagreements of all types. Benvolio in the modern day would be a marriage counselor because he’s non-aggressive, compassionate and optimistic. One reason Benvolio would be a

plot, but different in characteristics. Two of these characters are Benvolio and Mercutio. You would think that they would have a lot in common since they are in almost every scene together, but they have little to nothing in common besides being Romeo’s friends. This is called a foil. They are different in their personalities: Benvolio is more serious and responsible whereas Mercutio likes jokes and makes everything fun. Benvolio is a very static character and does not change much. He is very reliable

characters are Mercutio and Benvolio, and they both play a major role in the events that take place in this play. Mercutio is a foil to Benvolio and we can see how these two people have opposite qualities and will react differently to difficult situations. Conflicts in the play will show us how Mercutio is hot headed and quick to act, while Benvolio is calm and logical. Benvolio is calm and helps keep the peace between the other hot headed characters in the play. Benvolio shows his brave, peaceful

names of Benvolio and Mercutio give us insight into their personalities. How are they foils for Tybalt and Romeo, respectively? What character traits do they accentuate/highlight in the other? How do you think the pairing of these characters influences our views of them as individuals? In other words, would the character be who/what they are without their foil? Explain your thoughts. The names of Benvolio and Mercutio give us keen insight on to each as characters and their traits. Benvolio gets his

1597. It was a play set in the city of Verona in Italy in the time of renaissance and the character I will be writing about is Benvolio. Benvolio is an obscure character in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet who tries in all means to let peace prevail. His mission of peace wanting was not always acknowledged and accomplished as conflicts were always the last resort. Benvolio tried his best to make a change between the Capulets and Montague through his foil, Mercutio and cousin Romeo, but ultimately achieved
