Mercutio encourages Benvolio to fight by saying, "O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!" He implies that it is better to stand up and fight rather than give in to dishonor and shame.

What does Mercuitio say about benvolio's character?

Mercutio is seen to be describing Benvolio in Act 3 Scene 1, however we can deduce that really mercutio is actually talking about himself. In responce to your question, mercutio doesn't really tell anything truthfull about benvolio, therefore the only way we can see his character is to look at him in different scenes. If you are ever been asked to describe Benvolio's character you could have said that he play the role of a peacemaker, for he says "part fools" in Act 1 scene 1, and he is also seen to want"retire" for he knows that the day is hot therefore people will be in foul moods in Act 2 scene 1, for he knows how people "mad blood" is "stirring".

Who does benvolio say started the brawl?

Benvolio tells the Prince that Tybalt started the brawl between the Montagues and the Capulets.


Who sends a note to the Montagues which Romeo must answer?

Tybalt. Benvolio says, "Tybalt, the kinsman to old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house" , Mercutio responds "A challenge, on my life", and Benvolio then says, "Romeo will answer it." The letter is a calculated insult, intended to challenge Romeo to fight with Tybalt. Benvolio's opinion is that Romeo will "answer" the challenge, which is to say, that he will accept it and fight Tybalt. When Tybalt and Romeo arrive on the scene later Tybalt again tries to challenge Romeo by saying "Thou art a villain" (This is a pretty feeble insult but then Tybalt is not known for having any kind of brain.) You can compare the scene in Twelfth Night where Sir Andrew has been goaded into issuing a challenge to Cesario by Sir Toby. The insulting letter, which he hopes Cesario will answer, is so lame that Sir Toby decides not to send it at all.
