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.

Charles Dickens' Hard Times There are a huge variety of characters in Hard Times, ranging from the good to the unnaturally cruel. The novel is full of extremity in its characterisation; cruel, bitter and selfish characters such as Mrs. Sparsit contrast dramatically with characters such as Stephen Blackpool and Rachael, who are benevolent and altruistic.
