There is a play called "Romeo and Juliet." It is about two high class families who are always at each other's throats. Most of the people who live in the city, Verona, have chosen a family to side with. There are a few people, however, who stay neutral. Well these families, the Montagues and the Capulets, have only one child a piece. Incidentally, these children fall in love, obviously against the approval of there parents. The kid's solution to the problem is to run away, which doesn't happen how it was supposed to. The two children, Romeo and Juliet, both end up committing suicide at each other's deathbeds. This brings the play to a close, because the dual-deaths brings peace between the two families.

             Probably Benvolio's strongest personality trait was honesty. Benvolio was the George Washington of his time, in terms of honesty.
