I think Bevolio is the most innocent in this play becuase he always tells the truth and is kind of like the mediator. He juts trys to have fun and trys not to get in trouble. He is just a kind person that just trys to please everyone.

The most innocent victim within the play so far is Paris because he just wants Juliet and he doesn't know that she is in love with someone else, and Juliet is being forced to marry him but I don't think that he really was the one to force this upon her

So far, Benvolio is the most innocent because he actually tried to stop Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting, but he did not go as far as Romeo did, or cause anyone to die. So far, he has proven himself trustworthy, loyal to the Montague family, and extremely nonviolent.

So far, the character that I think seems the most innocent is Benvolio. He is the kind of person that everyone likes or seems to. When Mercutio and Tyblt decide to involve themselves in a quarrel it seems that the only person that is interested in helping create peace within Verona was Benvolio. He seems to care about the two families problems more than any of the other characters we've met so far.

The most innocent person so far seems to be Benvolio. He is there for everyone and he seems to care the most about everyone. He is the one who cares about the families and their problems the most. He seems to be the kind of person who would just be there for you and everyone loves or likes.

So far, the most innocent victim in the play is Benvolio. He seems like such a laid back person and is a good friend to Romeo. When Mercutio was getting angry because Tybalt was insulting him and joking around, Benvolio was the one who tried to keep the peace and stop the fighting, until Romeo came along. Also at the begining, Benvolio helps Romeo with getting over Rosaline and persuades him to go to the mask. He is very innocent and has done nothing but good, so far, in the play.

Amidst the play, the most innocent is Paris. He is not in the picture very much and when he is, it is for a small portion and he is making conversation and being polite. He seems to care about Juliet with a healthy love, by telling lady capulet: "these times of woe afford no time to woo. Madam, good night. Commend me to your daughter."(III.4.9-10)
He is the most innocent and he is reccomended by both of Juliet's parents.

I believe Paris appears to be the most innocent in the play because he doesn't show up often in any of the scenes. When shown, he sounds respectful, and all he wants is Juliet. He is polite when he asks the Capulet for permission to marry Juliet, and he always uses manners. He seems to have pride in his own way.

I think Paris is the most innocent charater in this play. Although he has not been metioned a lot, the few times he has he comes off as nice and carring. Paris just wants whats best for Juliet and seems to care about her a lot. Over all he just seems really polite.

I think the most innocent person in the book right now would have to be Benvolio because he is very non violent person and he tried to stop Tybalt and Mercutio from fighting even though Romeo went and got tybalt killed Benvolio just seems innocent.

I think that the most innocent character in this play is the nurse because all she really wanted was what was best for Juliet. She wanted her and Romeo to be together because she knew that Juliet loved him but then when he had to leave because of the murder she wanted Juliet to be safe and marry Paris. She also lost Juliet who she cared a lot about and the nurse didn't really anything bad like start a feud or get into fights or try to separate Romeo and Juliet, she just got caught up in the mix of things.

So far, I think the most innocent character in this play would have to be Mercutio. He has always been kind to all of his friends. Sure he likes to make fun of people, and call them names, but in the third act, he gets killed by an accident. He is not really on any side with the fued. In fact, he is stuck in the middle of it. Mercution is by far the most innocent victim in this play because he wasn't even involved in the fued, yet he gets killed becuase of it.
