What are the relationships like in Romeo and Juliet?What is the relationship between Benvolio and Romeo, Romeo and Juliet, and Friar Lawrence and...

Benvolio and Romeo: They are cousins, but more importanly
friends. Benvolio is the "peace keeper" in the play and he wants nothing more than for
Romeo to be safe and happy. In the beginning of the play in Act I, he tries to get Romeo
to get over Rosaline and "examine other beauties" (Act I, Scene i, line 230- see link
1). He also tries to stop the street brawl in Act I and the fight that ends in the death
of Mercutio and Tybalt in Act III Scene i. This is a typical friend
relationship.

Romeo and Juliet: Teenage lovers. They
meeting in Act I Scene v and it is "love at first sight" (or perhaps lust). They profess
their love and get engaged later that same night and are married the next morning. They
kill themselves for each other at the end. This is a typical, albeit quick-moving and
rash, romantic relationship. Look mostly at Act I Scene v and Act II Scene ii (see link
2)

Friar Laurence and Romeo: Friar Laurence is a mentor to
Romeo and is constantly giving him advice. Key passages are Act II, Scene iii, lines
66-81 and Act III, Scene iii, lines 114-16. This is definitely a mentor/mentee
relationship. (see link 3)
