Affection makes him distort the truth.

∙ 13y agoShe accuses Benvolio of lying in order to make Tybalt look the villain and to exculpate Romeo. She claims he does this because Romeo is his cousin, and because of the feud. She claims (although she wasn't there to see) that twenty Montagues jumped and assassinatd Tybalt, who was the innocent victim. Ironically, she is the one telling lies solely out of party prejudice (Tybalt being her nephew); Benvolio, who she accuses of doing so, is telling the truth.

∙ 13y agoShe accuses him of distorting the truth of his testimony because of his affection for (or relation to) Romeo. Ironically she puts forward a theory of Tybalt's death made entirely out of her own affection for Tybalt. Benvolio's account is close to the truth.

∙ 7y agoDuring Romeo's trial she accuses Benvolio of being partial to the Montagues, being a Montague himself, and making up his evidence to suit this purpose. This is a good example of someone seeing their own faults in others--it is Mrs. Capulet who is being partial and making up facts, not Benvolio
