A messy, brown-haired boy: his only worry is for others. He may be seen as a relatively small part in the play, though his actions speak louder than his words. Sick of the feud, he is the peacekeeper of Verona who will only fight if he has to, risking his own life for the safety of all people in Verona.]]> 2018-04-25 19:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/255417828 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/255419095 "I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, or manage it to part these men even with me"

He finds out Romeo is heartbroken after his rejection from Rosaline. He tells Romeo to get over her, as 'there are plenty more fish in the sea.' As the Capulets' host a party, Benvolio convinced Romeo to go, aside from crashing the party (being a Montague) he suggests he will find another love interest.]]> 2018-04-25 19:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/255419195 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/255812981 In the beginning of Scene I, the Montague family tells of Romeo's behavior. Being in a state of depression after heartbreak with Rosaline, Romeo (in the movie) is re-entering the city, Benvolio had spotted him there earlier. After the Montague's' tell the reader how upset Romeo is (near Line 140 I.I,) Benvolio takes matters into his own hands, and finds his wandering cousin, then questions him personally.]]> 2018-04-26 19:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/255812981 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/257668966 "We talk here in the public haunt of men. Either withdraw unto some private place, and reason coldly of your grievances or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us."

In Act 3, his few lines consist of comments telling both Romeo and Mercutio to not fight and talk back to Tybalt, who is later slain due to Romeo's sorrow and anger for the earlier killing of Mercutio, one of his greatest friends. After the murder of Tybalt, Benvolio tells "Romeo, away, be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed. The prince will doom thee death if thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away!" (Act 3 Scene 1 Line 125)]]> 2018-05-04 19:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258154739 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258544875 When Benvolio tells Romeo and Mercutio to not fight the Capulets, though they do anyways, someone like Benvolio would feel betrayed while Romeo and Mercutio should more than likely feel immorality. They know they will be sentenced to death for even fighting, even when Tybalt killed Mercutio-Romeo killing Tybalt. Because Romeo avenged Tybalt for the sake of Mercutio, the Prince ends up banishing him instead of putting him to death, because Mercutio was the Prince's cousin.]]> 2018-05-07 14:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258544875 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258555226 2018-05-07 14:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258555226 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258556137 The song "Day 'N' Nite" describes someones pain as the sadness becomes same old, same old.This song greatly relates to Benvolio. For instance, the line "Madness the magnet keeps attracting me," it reminds the reader that Benvolio's main part is to stop and prevent the fighting. Though he doesn't do much to really prevent them, he always have some kind of line that expresses the Montague side to withdraw from violence. Another line in the song, "The pain is deep; a silent sleeper you wont hear a peep." I feel Benvolio had some level of respect for Mercutio, and he can't say much about it because Romeo had slayed him. (he tells anyway though, it's for the better.) ]]> 2018-05-07 14:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/258556137 dykstmad000 https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/260625437 Benvolio's character hasn't had a large enough role to be acted throughout the entirety of the play, but he did follow through with his duty as peacekeeper. Well trusted by the Montagues, and respected by other innocent people. Like stated earlier, his actions spoke louder than his words.]]> 2018-05-14 19:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dykstmad000/lm4pcjv5hm84/wish/260625437
