Who is the Hero's Sidekick Romeo and Juliet?
Well, assuming that Romeo is the Hero, I suppose Benvolio might be his sidekick. But Romeo doesn't fit the part of a Hero very well.
Which character first persuades Romeo to attend the masquerade ball?
You might think it was Benvolio but it wasn't. Romeo wanted to go to the party to see Rosaline. As soon as he knew she was invited, he wanted to go. He couldn't care less about Benvolio's advice to look at the other girls at the party. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendour of my own."
Why did Romeo and Benvolio decide to go to the Capulets' ball?
Benvolio was planning to go to check out the girls. He talks Romeo into coming because Rosaline, the girl who refuses to listen to Romeo's protestations of love, will be there, partying it up. Romeo's intention is to hang around Rosaline, but Benvolio is hoping that some other girl who is at the party will make Romeo forget about her. This is a plan which is more successful that Benvolio can imagine.
What do Benvolio and Montague say about romeo?
Nothing. Romeo agrees to go to the Capulet party because he might see Rosaline and try again to get her to notice him. Although the effect is the same (he does agree to go to the party), he is not doing it for the reasons Benvolio wants him to go, and indeed for the exact opposite reason. So he is not taking Benvolio's advice, although the result is the same. Shakespeare, of course, puts this succintly and brilliantly in Romeo's line "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendor of mine own."

Why does Benvolio want Romeo to go to the party so bad?
Benvolio is fed up because his best mate Romeo is lovesick and complaining all the time that he is in love with a girl who doesn't love him back. Benvolio needs a way of putting Romeo off Rosaline so things can go back to normal.. So he tells Romeo that the Capulet feast will be the perfect opportunity to compare Rosaline with the other beautiful women of Verona and says Romeo's beloved Rosaline will look like a crow amongst swans. Romeo agrees to go with him, but only because Rosaline herself will be there.
