Romeo And Juliet Benvolio's Actions

In the romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are in love, but their families are enemies. Together, they must unite their families or suffer a fate seemingly worse than death: lifelong separation. Romeo’s friend, Benvolio, plays an important role throughout this tragedy. Benvolio’s honorable actions help those around him to avoid harm to themselves and to avoid harming others.
Early in the play, two servants of the opposing families meet in the streets of Verona.
The servants, Abraham and Sampson, begin insulting and instigating each other and Benvolio attempts to calm them because it is not the time nor the place to fight. As he declares to Sampson and Abraham, “Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.” (1.1, 56-57). This line shows Benvolio asking the men to leave eachother alone and to put away their swords because they are trying to fight when it is not necessary. This proves how Benvolio's helping his companions from causing trouble and getting injured.
Most often, Benvolio is trying to stop others from getting killed or injured. When a Capulet, Tybalt, enters the scene
One of these ways is by stopping a fight before it starts. When he can’t do this, Benvolio may ask others around him to help to break up the fight. Most importantly, after a conflict occurs, he helps to clean up and protect his friends from further injury. This character’s actions matter because Benvolio is the reason that only six characters were killed throughout the play. Without Benvolio, many other characters would be dead or wounded. This is because that instead of leaving each other alone, they would have fought to the death without hesitation. All in all, Benvolio helped anyone around him avoid conflict by helping those around him avoid conflict no matter
