In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are some very interesting characters. The one that stuck out to me most, though, is Benvolio, the Montague's kinsman. I think of Benvolio as a peacemaker, or at least someone who tries to avoid fighting. So far, throughout the entire story , he hasn't started a fight. He always stuck up for Romeo and was even kind to his enemies, the Capulets, and tried not to fight them. Unfortunately, he didn't stop any fights that happened and was forced to take part in one of them.
The play starts off with a fight between the Montagues and the Capulets. Benvolio tried to stop the fight before it got worse. He said in Act 1, scene 1, lines 65-66 "Part, fools! Put up your swords. You know not what to do." This means that he told them to stop their fighting. Right after, Tybalt, who is the Capulet's kinsmen and is very violent and is a troublemaker forced Benvolio to fight him. Later on in the play at Act 3 scene 1, Tybalt fights Mercutio and Romeo fights Tybalt. Benvolio did not want them to fight in the first place but fortunately didn't get himself involved. This shows that Benvolio is a good person and shies away from fights and tries to prevent/stop them.
In the world, I think that Benvolio would be an antiwar person and would be against all types of violence. I think he would be someone who steps in between two people who are about to fight. He would be someone who would never pick a fight with someone and only get involved if it was absolutely necessary. He would be kind to everyone.
