In this extract Benvolio is presented as loyal, a peacemaker and mature. Benvolio is a foil character for Tybalt therefore he is known to be ‘benevolent’ as Shakespeare suggests in his name.

Shakespeare shows Benvolio as loyal in this extract as only two lines Into his recount Benvolio establishes that his cousin is not to blame for the fight . He says “ Romeo that spoke him fair” highlighting to the prince and others who hadn’t witnessed the fight that Romeo too way vying for peace and hadn’t instigated the fight.
He also tries to help Romeo in the beginning. He tries to help him get over Rosaline a girl he was in love with. He does this by making him go to a party and telling him she will be there along with every other beautiful girl. This shows he was not doing anything to try to harm Romeo he was trying to help him because he knew Romeo was sad about a girl he thought he loved. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet was not caused from Benvolio’s decisions and actions in the
Next he also warned the prince of what happened to Mercutio, Tybalt, and Romeo. After the fight Benvolio was the one to fess up to the prince about what happened. Benvolio told the truth about what Romeo did. Finally he told the prince that Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed Mercutio. Why would you punish someone who told the truth?
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio often chooses to make bad decisions knowing the consequences, as well as kill 4 people just because he failed to help make the right choices for his friends. Benvolio is accountable for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he often encourages Romeo to make rash decisions, knowing Romeo could get hurt. First of all, Benvolio was the one who introduced the idea of finding a new girl to love to Romeo, at the Capulet's feast. In act 1 scene 2, line 85, Benvolio is talking to Romeo about going to the Capulet's feast, Benvolio then says ¨at this same ancient feast of the Capulet's Sups fair Rosaline whom thou
Most people know the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt from the author, William Shakespeare, but they never heard from Benvolio's point of view. As Mercutio and I were walking in the village, I had a sense that something was going to go wrong. I had this feeling because it was hot and Mercutio gets a little angry when he has been in the heat to long. From my point of view i also saw the truth that when Mercutio said he was hurt i felt it wasn't a joke because he was acting to hurt for it not to be true. My last thought was i saw the anger starting to rise in Mercutio
Who do you think is responsible for the deaths The scene begins with Benvolio and Mercutio talking. Bevolio is trying to persuade Mercutio to leave because, if the Capulets are around, there would be trouble I pray thee good Mercutio let's retire. Benvolio is used by Shakespeare as a peacemaker, he will not argue or upst anybody andwill not side with anyone as he is neither Caulet or Montague, he is, hever, Romeo's friend.
Benvolio was talking about going to the Capulet’s party because he wanted Romeo to get over Rosaline and to not mourn over her. If Benvolio never convinced Romeo into going to the party, Romeo and Juliet would have never
Before 24 hours of knowing one another, Romeo and Juilet get married. Romeo asks Friar Lawrence if he will “consent to marry [him and Juilet] to-day” (Shakespeare II.iii.65). Romeo requests Friar to marry him and Juilet the day after they met. Both Romeo and Juilet make an impulsive decision; they would rather be together quickly than live without the other. B.J. Casey, a neuroscientist, states that”...teens specifically struggle to keep their cool” under pressure (Underwood).
Benvolio said to Romeo that, “ Signior Martino and his wife and daughters, some beautious sisters” and lovely nieces”_ and of course Rosaline, Romeo’s last love, destined for the nunnery rather than his arms”(1.2.64). This quote shows that Benvolio is cheering up Romeo so that he could go to Capulet’s party. Benvolio should be Pardoned because he was honest with prince and told him every single thing which happened. He told what happened between Romeo and Tybalt and so whose fault was that so that is why he should be pardoned.
This striking character foil in this timeless tragedy emphasizes by contrast the two juvenile men’s individual personalities. Throughout the play it becomes apparent that Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, takes on the role as the peacemaker. For instance, Benvolio goes betwixt the Montagues and
Benvolio doesn’t do anything wrong and all he does is good. Romeo and Juliet are two young people who are dumb because they think they fell in love after less than a day of knowing each other. The characters in this story are dumb because they try and get married after one
Benvolio is fully aware of how close the two families are to breaking out into a full out war with one another, and knows that this skirmish could easily be the start of it if he allowed the fight to continue. Him intervening shows how he has to act as the peacekeeper in order to keep things from escalating any further between the families. Another example is when him and Mercutio are talking in the streets at the end of Act 2. Here, Benvolio brings up that Tybalt has sent Romeo a letter challenging him to a duel. Mercutio remarks, “Alas poor Romeo!
In Shakespeare's tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet", he illustrates Romeo's impulsivity and lack of filial piety by contrasting him with his foils, Paris, Benvolio, and Tybalt. To begin, to highlight Romeo's impulsivity, Shakespeare contrasts him with Benvolio and Paris, two characters that display thoughtfulness in their actions. Benvolio is characterized as a peacekeeper whose maturity shines through in chaotic or intense situations. During fights, he is the one who urges others to "put up [their] swords" (1.1.66), for he knows that they do not understand the consequences of their actions. Unlike Benvolio, Romeo often makes decisions without thinking about the effects of his actions.
I have always been sought to for advice just like Benvolio, considering that I can be a sympathetic listener and come up with different ways to solve people's problems. Similarly, like Benvolio helps Romeo with his
