Benvolio And Tybalt In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Decent Essays
Benvolio and Tybalt are two foil characters from Romeo and Juliet. Half of the wig head represents Benvolio and the other half represents Tybalt because without one of these characters the play would not be the same. The right side represents Benvolio, the quotes are printed out in blue because blue represents calmness and healing that Benvolio had. The seven characteristics of Benvolio are sticking out on green paper because green represents peace. Benvolio stayed away from violence and anger and instead was a peacemaker. The left side of the head represents Tybalt, the quotes are in red because Tybalt was a very angry and violent guy. Tybalt had so much anger built up to kill Romeo. The seven characteristics of Tybalt are sticking out

    Mercutio and Benvolio both felt the raging sun as it threw its scorching, afternoon rays onto the town square in Verona. Benvolio pleaded that Mercutio should leave with him as he feared there would be a bad ending to the day if they should be confronted by a Capulet and an argument occurred. They could hear the sound of water as it trickled into the tub in front of the church. The sound of the water could be heard from the market stalls where Mercutio and Benvolio were standing.

    There are many people you could blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but one might also say the two households are responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. An example of how the capulets play a part in this is when lady capulet says “Marry that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, how stands your disposition to get married”(Line fourteen, Act one Scene three, and Document B), the person one would blame in this quote would be the families(Capulet). This shows Lady Capulet is trying to pressure Juliet into getting married. Even after juliet says that she does not want to get married, her mother keeps pushing her into getting married by asking if she can “like of Paris’ love”( Line twenty four, Act…

    Some people say that for something out of the ordinary to happen, the stars must be in just the right place, at the right time. Unfortunately, the stars were not in ‘the right place at the right time’ for the two lovers in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life... Doth with their death bury their parents strife”. Star-crossed lovers is a well known phrase that translates to a pair of lovers ill-fated by unfavorable positions of the stars (Shakespeare 377).…

    Lastly, Friar Lawrence was in the tomb with Juliet as she awoke with Romeo dead beside her. Watching as his plan fell apart, he made the irrational decision to leave Juliet in the tomb because of his fear of being found by a guard. Friar was well aware of Juliet’s suicidal tendencies when she threatened to end her life if she had to be with Paris instead of Romeo. “Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this - Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it / Be not so long to speak; I long to die, If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy.” Despite Friars knowledge that Juliet would kill herself if she had to marry another man, he left her in the tomb with Romeo whom she would have killed herself if she ever had to be without him.…

To readers, Tybalt’s storyline may seem unnecessary to the play but it actually helps all the events unfold.

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…
