According to mercutio, what is one reason the benvolio has been ina fight before?

According to Mercutio, Benvolio was a short-tempered man who instigates a fight.

Explanation:

Mercutio and Benvolio were the best friends of Romeo in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.

In Act 3, Scene 1, Mercutio accused Benvolio of being a short-tempered person. He said that if two people like Benvolio would get into fight, none of them would survive as they both would each other.

This accusation of Mercutio is ironical as Benvolio is characterized as a peace-maker since the beginning of the play and it is him who would get easily instigated with small things. Even in this scene, it was Mercutio who was instigated by the comments of Tybalt which kindled the fight between Capulets and Montagues.

it u understand what he thought at the time and let u know more about him then what third person would of known probably. hope this : )

this quote could be referring to the death penalty. it's questioning the morality of sentencing murderers to death as a punishment, because it seems hypocritical. this quote seems to be arguing for non-lethal punishment for killers.
