A: He is describing Benvolio as someone who loves to fight, but we know from the verybeginning of the play that Benvolio loves to keep the peace and tries to avoid conflictbecause he tried to break up the fight between the servants.…
In Act I, scene I, when Benvolio tries to break up a fight between servants, Tybalt who is a Capulet challenges Benvolio to a fight and says, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!” Here Tybalt lets Benvolio know how much he hates him as well as his entire family, the Montagues. This leads them to fight.…
William Shakespeare is very intentional about character choices and their personalities. Each character plays an important role in setting the tragedy in motion. For this essay, I have chosen to analyze Tybalt, the Friar, and Benvolio’s personalities and explain how they contributed to the tragedies.…
Firstly, Benvolio serves as a foil to Tybalt. To begin with, Tybalt wanted to start a fight, but Benvolio tried to stop it. The following quote shows how Tybalt wanted to fight but Benvolio didn’t “I do but keep the peace.”/ “ I hate the word as I hate hell,all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee,…
Benvolio and Mercutio are complete opposites. Though they may be opposites, they are great friends in The Tragedy Romeo and Juliet. They compliment each other like cookies and milk. For example, Mercutio loves to live in the moment while Benvolio likes to be more logical and passive. When Mercutio gets out of hand, Benvolio at least tries to keep him in check. While Mercutio loves being the center of attention, Benvolio is more than happy to stay out of the limelight. They weren’t complete opposites though. One thing they had in common was Romeo. They were his best friends. They played different, but complementary, roles in Romeo’s life. While Benvolio is more understanding and listens to Romeo, Mercutio isn’t very understanding. His way of…
Benvolio, who wanted everyone to be friends, warned the guys not to fight in public. Insults were exchanged, but Romeo remembered that Tybalt is his new wife's cousin, so he turned the other cheek. Mercutio found this totally shocking, actually dishonorable, so he offered to fight Tybalt instead. They fought and then Romeo tried to intervene, but Tybalt suddenly stabbed Mercutio. Romeo and Benvolio assumed that Mercutio has not been badly hurt because he started joking about his damage but it was no joke. He was dying. A minute later, he died. Romeo blamed himself for Mercutio's death. So, he decided to man up by challenging Tybalt to a duel. And then finished him by killed Tybalt. This quote showed that Tybalt is always looking for a fight and that he always thinks he is going to win anything no matter what. He is a coquie and a prideful person. If he had not started the fight there would not have been no death, because Tybalt killed Mercutio and with force Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo got banished which changed everything in the story. Lastly, these are the reasons why Tybalt had a big responsibility of why the lovely teenagers…
Benvolio has a peaceful personality, who cares and supports his best friend Romeo. When Benvolio is first introduced to the story, he was with the Montagues in the middle of “three civil brawls” (1.1.91). He didn’t fight the Capulets like the rest of the Montagues, instead he announces “I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword” (1.1.69). Being the peaceful man that Benvolio is, he tried to stop the fight and keep peace in the city. To symbolize Benvolio’s act of peace, I decided to put a picture of a peace sign. By Benvolio’s effort to keep the peace in the city, I felt that a representation of the peace sign was a perfect fit. It is easily seen that Benvolio cares immensely for Romeo. When Lady Montague wondered where Romeo was, the only…
After the fight, Romeo is seen grieving about his purged heart and tells Benvolio goodbye, but Benvolio tells Romeo that he will “go along”(1,1,196) and if Romeo leaves him, then he will “do [him] wrong”(1,1,197). True friendship and loyalty was exhibited in this scene which is represented by the color blue on the mask. I put blue as the background of the mask because it’s meaning is loyalty and Benvolio shows this by tagging along with his friends and trying to soothe them and communicate with them.…
Mercutio is Romeo’s witty, fun-loving & courageous friend, he can also be quite moody at times with sudden outbursts of temper. He is a kinsmen to the prince and is one of the most important characters in the play. Mercutio is responsible for not only the death of Romeo & Juliet, but for his own. By refusing to leave the streets even after Benvolio pleaded him too, he was asking for trouble. Benvolio: I pray thee, Good Mercutio, let’s retire: The day is hot, the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not ‘scape a brawl, For now these hot days is the mad blood stirring. Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 1-5.After Mercutio refuses to leave, the Capulet shows up and Mercutio gets inbetween a brawl between Romeo and Tybalt, Romeo refuses…
The first place where it is other people's thoughts of Benvolio's peacefulness is in act 1 scene 1 lines 151-152 “I would thou wert so happy by thy stay to hear true shrift. Come, madam let's away” (1.1.151-152 ). This is montague thanking Benvolio for staying to listen to Romeo complain about his love life this shows Benvolio is a peaceful character because he is willing to listen to others the second way Benvolio how's his peacefulness is in act one scene one where Romeo and Benvolio are talking and Romeo says “oh teach me how I should forget to think”(1.1.219) what this shows is that Romeo is trusting of Benvolio to teach him how to forget Rosalina. This shows Benvolio is a peaceful person because people trust him enough to have his thought this is why Benvolio is a peaceful person.…
We are then introduced to the characters with great friendship, Mercutio and Benvolio. Shakespeare has carefully selected these two characters to create impact inside of this particular scene. Without these two characters, the scene would definitely not be the same. The scene starts off with Mercutio and Benvolio are talking to each other. It is a very hot day and Benvolio is somewhat more worried than Mercutio. The day is hot, the Capulets are abroad, And if we meet we shall not escape a brawl'. Here we are introduced into Benvolio's character a slightly more worried/concerned person than Mercutio. A hot day can get a lot of people bothered; here Benvolio has explained to Mercutio that he feels that it would be wise to leave early before any sort of trouble kicks off, and us knowing that they are in a Public place which is probably the heart of an area if someone's looking for trouble.…
There are earlier hints in the text about Romeos flaw that shows the true Romeo. Earlier in the text 1/1 Romeo is soft because of Rosaline. Benvolio makes Romeo realize that Rosaline will never be married she…
In addition, Tybalt refuses to keep peace despite Benvolio who does not intend to fight. Consequently, Benvolio has no choice but to engage in combat with Tybalt. At the beginning of the play, Tybalt makes it clear that he is against peace and will fight anyone who stands in his way (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 68). Benvolio, on the other hand hesitated to fight and said, "I do but keep the peace." (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 67) In the end Tybalt calls him a coward and they fight. (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 70). Tybalt clearly has been fighting for his honor under Capulet's name.…
Everyone departs the scene save for Montague, Lady Montague, and Benvolio. Monntague asks who started the fight and Benvolio blames Tybalt.
