Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.
Benvolio: I pray thee, good Mercutio, let’s retire:
The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,
And, if we meet, we shall not ’scape a brawl;
For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.
What motivates Benvolio to utter this warning?
his fear of being injured
