In act l, scene of Romeo and Juliet there is a depiction of the character Benvolio. the character of Benvolio embodies the archetype of the loyal friend, honorable mentor, and gentle caretaker.  EXPLANATION  Romeo and Juliet is William Shakespeare’s literary work which was written at the beginning of his career. The story tells about two people who love each other, yet they experience rejection from the family which later leads to the death of both. Their deaths succeeded in reconciling the two hostile families. This work is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime.Summary of the Romeo Juliet Overall, this story tells of an old grudge between two families. Revenge that is too strong explodes into bloodshed. Uniquely, young Romeo Montague falls in love with Juliet Capulet from the family of musush. Similarly, Juliet puts the same taste. Unfortunately, Juliet will be married to County Paris, her father's choice.In the process of struggling to establish a relationship, Romeo actually experiences street fights which turns out to cause Juliet's cousin named Tybalt to die. Because of that Romeo was exiled. In desperation to establish relations with Romeo, Juliet follows the advice of Friar. She will fake her  own death so that she can meet again with Romeo.Yet the message fails to understand Romeo. He believes that Juliet is dead. Romeo decides to end his life next to Juliet. When Juliet wakes up,  she finds Romeo already dead beside her. Juliet later commits to end her life, following Romeo, by drinking the poison that Romeo used. The two grieving families finally agreed to end their animosity.LEARN MOREIf you’re interested in learning more about this topic, we recommend you to also take a look at the following questions:Shakespeare's sonnets Shakespeare's formal education  KEYWORD: Shakespeare, Romeo-Juliet, playsSubject: EnglishClass: 7 – 9Subchapter: Literature

Loyal friend.Explanation:William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" revolves around the love story of two young lovers whose fates were sealed the moment they laid eyes on each other. The love that they shared for each other was higher than any obstacle, such as their family feud, and they met their death as they chose to be together rather than be separated.In Act I scene i of the play, a fight broke out between the groups of people from both families. Moreover, this scene also includes the love-sick Romeo, pining for his lost love Rosalind. Benvolio, a loyal friend, and cousin promises to help him forget about Rosalind and get him another girl, promising "I’ll pay that doctrine or else die in debt."

Loyal friendExplanation:In Act 1, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio best exemplifies the archetype of loyal friend. His name means "good-willed," and he is meant to be a kind, logical, loyal friend to both Mercutio and Romeo. He counteracts the more passionate nature of Mercutio as well as the romantic and idealistic outlook of Romeo. He is interested in keeping the peace, and has very little desire to fight.

The correct answer here is the archetype of the gentle caretaker. he is romeo's cousin and lord montague's nephew and he tries to make peace between two rival families, but he is unfortunately unsuccessful. his name actually means "good-will" and "peacemaker" which actually is his role here in the play as he tries hard to prevent the bloodshed.
