Benvolio

After reading and interpreting the performance scene(s), I learned that: In the play of Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio, though unsuccessful, tries to act as the peace keeper during the major conflicts between the Montagues and Capulets. However, the long-standing feud between the two families quickly overwhelms Benvolio’s feeble efforts to bring peace and often lead to fights nevertheless. At the beginning of the scene, he subtly tells Mercutio of his concern for a potential fight, due to the hot weather

In Romeo and Juliet there are many role models. However, very few are actually good role models. While Romeo is a hasty man, a romantic, and all together a sissy; Benvolio is level-headed, compassionate, and wise. These two men, while friends, are quite different--one being a bad role model, and the other being a good one. Romeo, although a romantic and very lovable character, is not a good role model for various reasons. In many times of trouble instead of looking for a solution to a problem, Romeo

the only ones to blame for this unfortunate event. Benvolio, Lady Capulet, and the Capulet and Montague families were also to blame. Benvolio brought Romeo to the party where he met Juliet, Lady Capulet kept pressuring Juliet to marry Paris, and the Capulet and Montague families kept tearing Romeo and Juliet apart. Benvolio played a very big role in the death of them both because he is responsible for the two of them meeting. In the play, Benvolio tells Romeo to stop moping around about Rosaline

[Enter Mercutio and Benvolio] Benvolio Let’s go home, Mercutio. It’s hot and there are Capulets everywhere. If we run into them, we won’t be able to avoid a fight. The heat makes them cranky. Mercutio You are like one of those guys who walks into a bar and places his baguette on the counter, but only two drinks later you have pointed it toward the barman. Benvolio Am I like that? Mercutio Come, come, thou art as hot as Jack in thy mood as any in Italy, and as soon mov’d to be moody, and as soon

Balthasar of house Montague then enter which causes Gregory and Sampson to prove them. Sampson says “...I will bite my thumb at them/ which is a disgrace to them if they bear it.” ( I.i.40-41). This causes them to argue which then escalates into a fight. Benvolio, of house Montague, enters to try to break up the fight. Tybalt of house Capulet also enters to

adolescent’s life. In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, friends have an important role in Romeo’s life, they greatly affect his actions, emotions and opinions. Friar Laurence proves he is the stronger friend to Romeo, than Mercutio and Benvolio through his . Mercutio is Romeo’s worst friend, he is unaware of the negative impact Mercutio has on his life as they are best friends. He is not a terrible friend to Romeo as he always shows him a good time. For example, Mercutio encourages Romeo

of Romeo’s bottle. Ugh! There goes Juliet stabbing herself once she sees her husband dead. Romeo and Juliet’s death was tragic, but who was most responsible for their death? While there are many people that can be responsible, Friar Lawrence and Benvolio are most at fault because of actions they had and did to Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence giving Juliet the potion making her sleep was a big reason on why he is at fault for the killing Romeo and Juliet. If Friar Lawrence would have never given

Scene i. A public space. [Enter Mercutio, Benvolio, and Men] Benvolio: In my opinion, good friend, we should rest for the day. The heat is brutal, and the Capulets are only looking for an excuse to fight one of us. It’s best not to give them any ammunition, as fate would have it that we would be blamed for any skirmish. Mercutio: Benvolio, listening to you reminds me of someone who walks into a restaraunt, drops his weapon on the table, denouncing your need for it. Halfway through the night, you’d

What is a foil? Right away some may think of the aluminum sheets to cover or make things out of. When thinking of a foil in the literature language, it creates a whole different mindset. A foil is when two characters’ personalities are completely opposite from one another to accentuate each other. William Shakespeare, writer of the love story Romeo and Juliet uses foils greatly among the Montagues and Capulets. The Montagues and Capulets are the two families who have a rivalry with each other.

Lawrence and the Nurse should be punished and Benvolio should be pardoned for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence should be punished for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo that he will secretly marry Romeo and Juliet so their families will stop fighting with each other. “But come, young warerer, come, go with me/ In one respect I’ll thy assistant be/ For this alliance may be so happy prove/ To
