What is benvolio asking mercutio to do?
Benvolio is asking Mercutio to go home before the Capulets arrive and a fight breaks out in Verona's streets.
How are Montague Romeo and Benvolio related to each other?
In Act I Scene 1, Montague, in his second line, says "Speak, nephew, were you by when it began". The nephew he is talking to is Benvolio. If Benvolio is the nephew of Romeo's father, Benvolio and Romeo must be first cousins.
Whom do Benvolio and Mercutio encounter in Scene 1?
Mercutio and Benvolio are discussing how Romeo wasn't home last night. They both think that Romeo was out with Rosalie but he was actually on Capulet ground speaking with Juliet and Expressing his love. They also say that one of the Capulet's men sent a letter which Romeo will answer himself.
Does Benvolio die in 'Romeo and Juliet'?
The previous answer is not actually correct. Only partly so. In the First Quarto text, it is mentioned that Benvolio actually does die. (The Applause first folio of Shakespeare: in modern type. Freeman) This likely explains why Benvolio, who is a major character at the beginning of the play vanishes after the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio.Most texts, however, do not include the single line Shakespeare used to account for Benvolio's absence ("And young Benvolio is deceased too") so the confusion remains.Previous answer: No, Benvolio does not die. Mercutio was killed by Tybalt, Juliet's Cousin, and Romeo killed Tybalt in anger, which led to Romeo being banished to Mantua from Verona.
How is Benvolio a peacemaker?
Yes he very much is. He stops most fights!
What does it mean when Tybalt says Mercutio thou consortest with romeo?
Mercutio has no quarrel with Mercutio. He's looking for Romeo. He starts by greeting Mercutio and Benvolio very politely "Gentlemen, good-den. A word with one of you." What he wants is to find out where Romeo is so he can fight him. He starts by saying "Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo". A "consort" is a companion, a friend, one who goes along with you; to consort with someone is to be their friend and companion, to go along with them. Tybalt's next line would be "Can you tell me where he is?" Because Mercutio is in an obnoxious mood, he manages to turn this perfectly polite statement into an insult, then to make a punning threat based on it. By the time he's done, Romeo has shown up, so Tybalt does not have to deal any further with Mercutio. He says, with great relief no doubt, "Well, peace be with you sir. Here comes my man." But Mercutio is not done with Tybalt. Not liking Romeo's placating responses to Tybalt's attempts to get him into a fight, Mercutio bursts in and calls Tybalt a "ratcatcher". Tybalt again replies politely: "What would you have with me." He only draws in response to Mercutio pulling out his own sword. What all this shows is that Mercutio goes way out of his way to provoke Tybalt into a fight he didn't want. Then when it turns out badly for him, he blames Romeo. A plague on Mercutio's house!
Who yells A plague o' both your houses!?
The character who yells "A plague o' both your houses!" is Mercutio in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." He says this line after being fatally wounded in a fight between the Capulets and Montagues.
Who is Romeo's cousin in Romeo and Juliet?
It doesn't say anything about Romeo's cousin, but many people mistakenly think Benvolio is. Benvolio is just his friend. Benvolio is the Prince's cousin. Sorry, that's wrong. Benvolio is Romeo's cousin. In Act 1 Scene 1 Benvolio says to Romeo's father "My noble uncle, do you know the cause?" (somewhere around line 150) and later in the scene he greets Romeo "Good morrow, cousin." (about 15 lines later).
In romeo and Juliet how does shakespeare create suspense in scene 3?
Benvolio's line which starts the scene creates a sense of urgency. "The day is hot, the Capulets are abroad, and if we meet we shall not 'scape a brawl." Immediately we are informed that the weather is hot, making people short-tempered, and there are Capulets looking for a fight. Benvolio says, "Let's get out of here, there is trouble brewing." But Mercutio doesn't care: he is like Bud Abbott standing there calmly while Lou Costello is frantically trying to tell him that Frankenstein's Monster is lurching towards him. The audience knows that Benvolio is right. Then once the Capulets do show up we find that Tybalt is hunting Romeo. At first we think that perhaps Romeo won't show up. Then he does and he gives us some hope by refusing to respond to Tybalt's feeble taunts. All the time there is some hope that Romeo will get out of it and Tybalt won't kill him. And hooray! It actually happens. And that's when Mercutio dies and it all goes to hell.
What is mercutio doing in line 6-21 in scene 1 act 2?
