Explanation:
Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio attend the Capulets’ party primarily due to Mercutio’s influence and Romeo’s infatuation with Rosaline, a member of the Capulet family. Mercutio, known for his lively and mischievous nature, persuades Romeo to accompany him and Benvolio to the event, seizing the opportunity for merriment and revelry. Romeo, initially hesitant due to his melancholic state over unrequited love for Rosaline, eventually succumbs to Mercutio’s insistence, hoping to catch a glimpse of Rosaline and alleviate his lovesick heart. Unbeknownst to them, their decision to attend the party sets in motion a chain of events that will profoundly impact their lives and ultimately lead to the tragic outcome of Shakespeare’s timeless play, “Romeo and Juliet.”
