Answer 3

Benvolio Name Meaning

Answer 4

I don't know but here are some guesses

Benvolio - well-wisher?
Tybalt - can't help with that one, only thing I can come up with is Tyburn, the area of London where people got hung.
Mercutio - mercury/mercurial - quick-silver
Paris - the man from Homer's Illiad who made off with someone else's wife and came to a sticky end.

Answer 5

Benvolio = Well-wishing or good-willing.
The opposite of Malvolio from "Twelfth Night)": evil-willing.
Mercutio = Mercurial, constantly flitting this way and that.
Paris: This is the most controversial part in the play. Paris was a son of King Priam of Troy. It was the "Judgement of Paris" that ignited the Trojan War. Now he is a count trying to marry Juliet.

i like your questions, shame i hardly ever seem to stumble upon them :) you know, to be honest, i cannot think of anything right now, chances are i could ponder this for days and not come up with anything worthy of mention. do you think that religion, and spirituality for that matter, are primarily concerned with society, with the present moment, preoccupied as they are with pointing towards the transcendent, with salvation, with nirvana or other expressions of the ultimate ideal and of perfect bliss? of course, i realise the importance of good thoughts and good actions, i understand the value and beauty of this life (which may turn out to be the only one we have, despite my hopes in relation to my own faith) and would always strive to make a positive, rather than a negative contribution, but, the way i see it, morality and the common sense which ought to help us understand why good or noble actions/intentions are better than bad ones, why ethical behaviour is preferable to unethical behaviour, why cooperation in the pursuit of truth and of progress is desirable, is not given to the religious only but, in my opinion, understanding that and putting into effect, ought to constitute the base of any process of self-improvement - whether coming at it from an atheist or a religious perspective. i may need to revise my answer later, but i don't think thoughtful people turn to religion because it serves a practical need not found elsewhere in society (i mean, for instance, if it's fellowship you want, you can join or form your own humanist society or some other club which is of particular interest to you, and, there are other support networks although i know of some churches which really act as a great extended family to their members and that can be very attractive to people). i think religion finds people, it inspires them to make a commitment (i know it is not always so but i'm sharing my thoughts with you as they present themselves...), the message may move some people to acceptance and to loyalty vis-a-vis God specifically and to wish to act and to serve in His name. at the end of the day, what matters is that good is done rather than corrupted and thwarted, right? p.s. sorry, i didn't intend to write such a lengthy answer! i hope it's not too much of a deterrent :)
