	Benvolio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benvolio is a character in William Shakespeare's fiction 'Romeo and Juliet', one of the legendary Montagues.
		It is also worth noting that Benvolio's name may possibly be from the word "benevolent", meaning, "Having a disposition to do good; possessing or manifesting love to mankind, and a desire to promote their prosperity and happiness; disposed to give to good objects; kind; charitable" which is a fairly accurate description of Benvolio's personality.
		It is worth noting that by the end of the play, Benvolio is the only principal character (from his generation) who has not been consumed by the violence springing from the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets and is thus the only survivor.

	Rosaline and Benvolio
		In the end, Rosaline reflects (to Benvolio) on the death of their cousins: "They are better dead for such were the entanglements that bound them to one another that they would have drowned if they ever attempted to swim the life they'd chosen" (4.5).
		Rosaline thus highlights that it was the choices made by Romeo and Juliet that led to their death, rather than a star crossed, ill fated love.
		In this way, Prager has created characters “whose personalities flow out of their responses to the choices they made as a consequence of the sequencing of their ideas, so that each have varying degrees of emotional intelligence” (ibid.).
