We can see the historical context of Elizabethan England as Juliet was betrothed to Count Paris by her parents in an arranged marriage she did not want.

According to mercutio, what is one reason the benvolio has been ina fight before?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

According to Mercutio, Benvolio was a short-tempered man who instigates a fight.

Explanation:

Mercutio and Benvolio were the best friends of Romeo in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.

In <u>Act 3, Scene 1,</u> Mercutio accused Benvolio of being a short-tempered person. He said that if two people like Benvolio would get into fight, none of them would survive as they both would each other.

<u>This accusation of Mercutio is ironical as Benvolio is characterized as a peace-maker since the beginning of the play and it is him who would get easily instigated with small things. Even in this scene, it was Mercutio who was instigated by the comments of Tybalt which kindled the fight between Capulets and Montagues</u>.
