Prince Escalus is tired and angry with the family feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, and he has threatened that "[their] lives will pay the forfeit of the peace"  if they ever disturb the streets again (1.1.117). Throughout the play, Benevolio attempts to pacify the hatred between the families by keeping everyone calm. ]]> 2018-06-10 03:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266443651 klafontaine https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266443867 Benvolio determined to help his best friend and cousin find another love. Romeo is broken hearted because Rosaline, who wants to be a nun, will not return his love. The illiterate Capulet servant unknowningly invites Romeo and Benvolio "if... not from the house of Montagues...come and crush a cup of wine" (1.2.356-357).  Although they will be dining with the enemy, Benvolio feels it is worth the risk to find Romeo a new love.]]> 2018-06-10 03:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266443867 klafontaine https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266444236 Benvolio's name is inspired from the word benevolence, which means well-meaning and kindness. His role in the play is the peacemaker. Although suggesting to go to the Capulet Feast is out of character, he means well. His intention is not to disturb the peace, but to have Romeo "examine other beauties" (1.1.256).]]> 2018-06-10 03:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266444236 klafontaine https://padlet.com/klafontaine/evk297dlm6xs/wish/266444487 @romeo Hey lover boy!
