Benvolio: At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s,

Sups the fair Rosaline, whom thou so lov’st,
With all the admired beauties of Verona:
Go thither; and, with unattainted eye
Compare her face with some that I shall show,
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
Which is the best paraphrase of Benvolio’s lines?

Answer 2

Answer: Once you see other beautiful girls at the party, you will see that Rosaline is not so special.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Benvolio is tired of Romeo insisting on his unrequited love for Rosaline, he dares him to go to the Capulet’s feast, which she will be attending, as well as every beautiful woman from Verona. He wants Romeo to be able to compare his beloved Rosaline to realize that she´s not the beautiful swan Romeo envisions, but an ugly crow in comparison to others.
