Best Answer

The previous answer is not actually correct. Only partly so. In the First Quarto text, it is mentioned that Benvolio actually does die. (The Applause first folio of Shakespeare: in modern type. Freeman) This likely explains why Benvolio, who is a major character at the beginning of the play vanishes after the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio.

Most texts, however, do not include the single line Shakespeare used to account for Benvolio's absence ("And young Benvolio is deceased too") so the confusion remains.

Previous answer: No, Benvolio does not die. Mercutio was killed by Tybalt, Juliet's Cousin, and Romeo killed Tybalt in anger, which led to Romeo being banished to Mantua from Verona.

No, Benvolio does not die in "Romeo and Juliet." He is a close friend of Romeo and plays a minor role as a peacemaker in the play.
