Step-by-step explanation:

Between this hot-tempered pair stands level-headed Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, a Montague and friend to Mercutio. In contrast to Mercutio, Benvolio wants to avoid confrontation. He is presented throughout the play as cautious and careful (his name, translated from Italian, means 'good will')
