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
" The tragic death of the two is also foreshadowed by Romeo's suicidal thoughts and Juliet's recurring morbid thoughts which she expressed by saying, "My grave is like to be my wedding bed." (Act 1, Scene 5). This shows that the characters are predicting their death throughout the whole play. The characters do predict good things as well such as in act 1, scene 2 Benvolio says to Romeo “Take thou some new infection to thy eye, and
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
Romeo’s friend Benvolio hears of Juliet’s “death,” and goes to seek out Romeo to tell him about her death. This causes Romeo to see Juliet while she is in the death-like sleep, making him think she is dead. When he sees this, he takes a potion he bought before, and ends his life because life without Juliet would not be a life worth living. Juliet awakes to see Romeo dead, which in turn causes her to end
Secondly, he was encouraging Romeo to go to the Capulet’s party. Benvolio tries to convince Romeo to go to the party so that he can find someone better than Rosaline. He tells Romeo that he will make him think that Rosaline is crow compared to what he would find. This is proving that he should be pardoned because he was only trying to be helpful and keep the peace between everyone.
Hence be gone, away!” (3.1.130). Benvolio is telling Romeo to run or he will be put to death. This line shows that without Benvolio, Romeo would be more than likely deceased because he is not wise enough to take care of himself and he always needs others to guide him or show him what
Instead, Romeo’s apprentice, Benvolio, who watched Juliet’s funeral, told his master that she was dead. Consequently, Romeo rushed to her family tomb. When he arrived at the tomb, Romeo stumbled upon Paris, who tried to stop him from entering by saying, “This is that banished haughty Montague that murdered my love’s cousin, with which grief it is supposed the fair creature died..” (V, Scene iii, 49-51) Paris had the courage to stand up to Romeo and try to stop him from entering the burial site, which created conflict, because Romeo came to the tomb to harm himself, and not the dead bodies.
Tybalt and Benvolio Have you ever envisioned dying because of your friend? The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare ends with both Romeo and Juliet dying in the end. Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, has such a persuasive attitude throughout the play, and encourages Romeo throughout many of his important decisions. A major decision Benvolio encourages Romeo to make was going to the Capulet's party where he met Juliet.
Benvolio tells him the entire story, but the Prince refuses to hold Romeo blameless. Instead, he is like boy get out of Verona insisting Romeo will die if he does not obey. So this scene takes a turn from the cheesy Romeo and Juliet we've read in the previous acts. It goes from happy true love stuff to Romeo is gone forever and his friend is dead and Romeo killed someone.
Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, need to take the authority for the couple’s endings because he is the cause who made Romeo to go to the festivity to find different lady and that person became Juliet, which leads to a new love. Conceding that Benvolio didn’t ask Romeo to attend the repast, Romeo wouldn’t have meet Juliet and he wouldn’t have fall in love with
The Prince, instead of ordering his death, exiled Romeo. “Immediately we do exile him hence”(3.1.193). Benvolio was able to stop his friend’s death and was able to keep the peace between the families, if only for now. Thus, this once again proves Benvolio values
Benvolio even bet that Romeo would change his mind about Rosaline. Benvolio did this by saying, “I’ll pay that doctrine or else die in debt,” (I.i.38). He pushes Romeo by “threatening” his own life if Romeo does not find another girl. However, little does Benvolio know that by doing this, he is actually threatening Romeo’s life. Additionally, Benvolio pushed Romeo by telling him to go to a party being hosted by the Capulets.
Little does he know that he will end up meeting Juliet at the party as well. Romeo says,“I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in the splendor of mine own “ (1.2.102-103). This quote impacts the story by showing that even though Romeo isn't very interested in knowing what Benvolio was saying, he is willing to at least explore and see if the party will help him get over Rosaline. It’s also saying that Romeo is about to meet Juliet, which is the very first downfall of errors that happen throughout the story. On the streets of Verona, fighting is starting to break out once more.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Act V describes the death of many major characters and how the family conflict between the Montagues and the Capulet’s is resolved. First, in scene one, Balthasar tells Romeo about Juliet’s death. He goes to the apothecary, buys a poison, and rides off to the Capulet tomb to see Juliet. In scene two, Friar John and Friar Lawrence discuss the letter that told Romeo about Juliet’s death, which he did not receive. Therefore, in scene three, he does not know that Juliet is not actually dead.
Every Aristotelian tragic hero has a tragic flaw, Romeo’s being impulsiveness. Throughout the play, he has been known to rush into things too quickly. The first example was getting married to Juliet only a day after they met each other, without the slightest thought that maybe he would get tired of her and change love interests as easily as the one that brought him to Juliet from Rosaline. And later, when he fought with Tybalt, he was blinded by the anger of Mercutio's death to realize that fighting would result in his own death, or as he later found out, banishment. The fight was what set in motion Juliet’s mourning for Romeo, Capulet’s rushed marriage plans, the faking of Juliet’s death, and the very real death of the star-crossed lovers.
