A supreme example of this theme‚ could be Friar Lawrence’s opening lines‚ “The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night‚ / Check’ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light; / And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels / From forth day’s path and Titan’s burning wheels.” (II.iii.1-4) Throughout Act I and Act II‚ Shakespeare juxtaposes the characters of Romeo and Juliet to develop the theme of the paradoxical nature of life

    but being misguided in a conflict can lead to an even larger predicament.

    In Romeo and Juliet‚ Shakespeare uses his minor characters to enhance the conflict. Benvolio and Tybalt alike contribute to the complications that ultimately result in the plays’ tragedy. Benvolio plays the eternal peacekeeper‚ while Tybalt incessantly agitates the situation. Benvolio is a peacekeeper. For example‚ when Tybalt asks “why are you here”‚ Benvolio says “I do but keep the peace”‚ because he doesn’t want to fight. This shows he is keeping peace because he does not react angrily
