Benvolio Mask Essay

For my Benvolio disguise, I chose the color blue for loyalty, the doves wing for being a peacemaker, and the monocle to represent wisdom. In universe, when Benvolio enters the scene, he sees men with raised swords so he told them to put up your swords (1,1,76). Tybalt hence enters and tells Benvolio to draw his sword but Benvolio tells Tybalt that he should part these men with me (1,1,82). This shows that Benvolio wants no violence but quite peace.Since a doves wing means peacefulness, honesty, and faith, I chose the doves wing because Benvolio has altogether these traits. After the fight, Romeo is seen grieving about his purged heart and tells Benvolio goodbye, but Benvolio tells Romeo that he will go along(1,1,196) and if Romeo leaves him, therefore he will do him wrong(1,1,197). True friendship and loyalty was exhibited in this scene which is represented by the color blue on the mask.I put blue as the background of the mask because its meaning is loyalty and Benvolio shows this by tagging along with his friends and trying to soothe them and communicate with them. When the Capulets arrive into the public place, Mercutio calls Tybalt out to fight him , but when Benvolio sees the danger point, he tells the men to withdraw unto some private place, and understanding coldly of your grievances, or else depart. (3,1,50).When no men heed Benvoilios warning, Mercutio is killed and Romeo looks for revenge and he achieves it with a fall pale Tybalt. Benvolio tells Romeo to be gone(3,1,134), and to stand not amazed (3,1,134) since the prince will doom thee death(3,1,136) and if pace art taken hence, be gone, away (3,1,137). This shows how wise and aware Benvolio is. A monocle represents this because when one wears a monocle they have the urge to think deeper.
