Benvolio

Movie comparison by Austin Wylde Character While I watched this movie, there were many different people that are not who they were in the play. Mercutio in this movie was not who I thought he was. Mercutio was a crazy party animal who lost his top! Benvolio on the other hand almost never drew his sword in the play. He did multiple times in the movie as he said he was keeping the peace. Another person who surprised me was the Friar. Friar was an old, wise man in the play ,but in the movie he is a…

When Romeo is lovesick and unhappy over Rosaline, Benvolio tries to ease his pain, advising him, “One desperate grief cures with another’s languish.

The Ever Changing Romeo Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, the story that seems to define love for so many. However, Romeo began the play as a young, foolish, and immature boy who is far from the romantic, mature Romeo that always comes to mind. This is because Romeo is a round character, Shakespeare allows him to grow and change as the play goes on. Romeo started off as an immature teenager, believing he had lost everything because he got rejected by a woman. But towards the end of the…

Laina Gath Mrs. Mitchell English 9 April 5, 2024 Romeo and Juliet When a catastrophe happens, is it ever just one person's fault? There are many contributing factors to every situation, and every situation is different. However, in every case, someone contributed enough to be blamed for the whole thing. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is to be blamed for his own death because he was driven by emotion and would often act without thinking. Maybe other people helped lead to the decisions he made, but…

Throughout Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare illustrates that when rash decisions are made in a chaotic environment the outcome is negative. The Capulets and Montagues feud has been going on for generations. Naturally their kinsmen detest each other too, “[to Benvolio]What, drawn…

Benvolio is telling Romeo that there are citizens around and he should leave now because he killed Tybalt. As a result of Romeo killing Tybalt, Romeo had to vanish and leave Juliet behind. The Friar…

Shakespeare suggests that young love can make people do irrational actions; as shown in acts 1, 2 and 5. My first example of young love as irrational is in Act I, Scene 2. In this scene, Romeo is talking to Benvolio about how difficult it is to be in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same way. Benvolio tries to help Romeo get out of his funk by suggesting that…
