Benvolio

Romeo’s still worry about him, but don’t actually do anything about him. For example, when Romeo is acting depressed in the beginning, his parents worry about him, but call out Benvolio to do the honors of finding their son. Benvolio was sent instead of them, so that shows a lot of caring right there! Please note the sarcasm. Juliet’s dad could care less about her. This is shown when he wants to marry her to Count Paris, without even considering whether…

Tybalt would never have seen Romeo, therefore not have a grudge against him. Mercutio’s taunting probably angered Tybalt causing them to fight, if he never antagonized him, he may have lived. Minor people to blame are, Romeo, the prince, Tybalt, and Benvolio. If Romeo wasn’t his friend at all, Mercutio would never have stood up for him, and Romeo was the one that got in front of him. The prince is to blame because he couldn’t control his cousin, if he could, Mercutio wouldn’t have…

pay attention to Paris because of the fact that he is a good candidate for a husband. They think he is a suitable candidate for husband because “he is a man of wax” (1.3 80). Act 1: Scene 4 During this scene, Mercutio (Romeo’s best friend) and Benvolio (Romeo’s cousin) try to convince Romeo to be ready for fun at the Capulet’s party – which they are about to “crash.” Mercutio delivers his famous speech about Queen Mab, the fairy creature, and shows his mercurial (changeable) moods as the…

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…

Both pairs of lovers had entire groups against them being together: the Montagues and Capulets were against Romeo and Juliet and the two gangs, the Jets and the Sharks were against Tony and Maria.

They both ended up killing someone important in their significant other's life as an act of revenge. The both ended up dying at the end. As in Romeo and Juliet Romeo was in love with another…

signature wit, humour, savagery and character. In several ways Mercutio’s character contributes to the brawl, despite how nonchalant and dispassionate he seems when the Capulets arrive. For example, he blatantly exclaims: “By my heel I care not,” when Benvolio signals their arrival, showing Mercutio’s disregard for the…

Benvolio is expressing that “brave Mercutio is dead” and that his brave spirit is in heaven now or “that gallant spirit hath aspired the cloud”. At the end Romeo and Benvolio agree that Mercutio died too early and unfairly. Especially when Benvolio…

mean he doesn't have a role in their deaths. Friar Lawrence meant well, but was reckless. He could have prevented the whole disaster. First of all the friar sent the message to Romeo with someone who didn’t know the importance. He should have gave Benvolio or Balthazar the letter for Romeo.…
