Shakespeare wrote three scenes that involved Mercutio and Benvolio trading words, and it's apparent that when Benvolio speaks only one or two lines, Mercutio fills the rest of the page. Then there are their names. Benvolio is benevolent. Mercutio is mercurial. One is steady, loyal, forgiving, and the other is swiftly changing and unpredictable.

Then there's Mercutio's more flamboyant and bawdy sense of humor compared to Benvolio's more dry sense.
