It is illegal to fight in the streets; Benvolio is trying to keep the peace and uphold the law. He has already warned Mercutio that a fight was likely if he should run into the Capulets.

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".

In act 3 mercutio and benvolio get into a conflict with Tybalt what does romeo do when he comes upon them?

He puts himself between them, probably facing Mercutio, who is his friend and whom he wishes to protect. Tybalt, however, stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm. Oops. But never mind, it gives Mercutio a chance to make one of the most quotedspeeches in world Literature.


In Romeo and Juliet How does Romeo come to be invited to the party?

A Capulet servant could not read the guest list to the party that his master gave him. So coming upon Romeo and Benvolio, he asks Romeo if he could read. Romeo read the list for the servant and sees Rosalins's name. He asks the servant where they will be and the servant says that '...if you be not of the house of/ Montague, I pray come and crush a cup of wine...' and so they would have been invited to the party if they weren't Montagues. Which of course they were.


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!
