Model Character Trait Analysis: Benvolio

In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, the character Benvolio is a peacemaker. When Benvolio states, "Part, fools! / Put up your swords. You know not what you do" (I.i.61-62), he is telling the servants to stop fighting and put their swords away because they don't realize the mess they are about to make. This shows that Benvolio is a peacemaker because rather than participate in the fighting, he tries to stop it. This shows his integrity and commitment to maintaining peaceful relations with his rival family. Benvolio even tells Tybalt to put his sword down or use it to stop the fight when Tybalt joins the brawl. He states, "I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, / or manage it to part these men with me" (I.i.65-66). Even though Tybalt has his sword drawn and is prepared to fight with him, Benvolio continues to try and break up the fight and keep the peace. Therefore, Benvolio can be characterized as a peacemaker.


Per. 2: Your homework is to fill out the Say, Mean, Matter chart for Tybalt. You should then use the chart and the model analysis writing above to write a character trait analysis paragraph for Tybalt. This is due Tuesday in class!

Hey Mr. M!
Yeah i just wanted to say that i liked the way that shakespeare used the wording in "Romeo and Juliet" and in the Tybalt and Benvolio Scene (its my favortie scene). I liked that the Tybalt Vs. Benvolio scene had suspense, comedy, and witty attidude. The other scenes are alsoas enjoyable. Well! Thats all i have to say about that!

Hey Mr. Moody!
It's Nicole!
Came by to check your blog for the first time in forever!
My favorite scene out of "Romeo and Juliet" is actually all of those scenes were Romeo is being dramatic about Rosaline wanting to be a nurse. I think it actually tells people alot about Romeo and who he is.
Check out my blog!
I've actually had a blog for about a year and I usually jot down some phrases in my head that i can work to expand as the days go on.
See ya in school Mr. M!

I share a love-hate relationship with virtual memory because of how prices are always falling. I hate buying Micro SD Cards for my R4 / R4i at (what seems to be) a crazy bargain price only to see it become 10% cheaper a couple of months later.
