How ironic, as I am currently doing my GCSE piece this very moment, on Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. This is the scene where dramatic tension is created when Tybalt enters the scene after Benvolio and Mercutio where 'play fighting' and taunting one another for a laugh. But it is ironic that Tybalt enters, after Mercutio says “thy head is as fun of quarrels as an egg is full of meat”, which basically means he is wanting to fight. (Tybalt being his enemy from the opposing family). Benvolio acts as the peace maker in this scene at various points. You can see this by some of the quotes he says such as; "An I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee-simple of my life for an hour and a quarter." basically meaning Mercutio should buy life insurance, because it wont last longer than a hour and a quarter. This is very ironic how Shakespeare uses this, because he makes Benvolio fore-shadow Mercutios death later on in the scene. Benvolio is also the peace keeper when he says "Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us." Where he means go away from here if your going to fight, because many people are watching. (After the Prince's ruling of no-fighting or they will be killed). To help you understand the play more I suggest you watch 'Romeo + Juliet' (1996) starring Leonardo DiCaprio - more information can be found here! - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117509/ Hope this helps!

Both of them try to stop fights. Benvolio never starts any fights and counsels Mercutio to get out of the way of the Capulets if they are looking for trouble.
