Why did Romeo want to break Benvolio's shin?

Romeo want to break Benvolio's shin because he wanted him to forget about his love.

Explanation:

Romeo is a lovelorn soul in the play and he has seen himself enamoured by a woman that he must have.

Benvolio as his friend tries, and fails miserably to be the voice of reason to him in that he tells him to be realistic and not fall for love that is unattainable and undesirable.

However, Romeo understands the demeaning tone in the voice of Benvolio and thus wants to break his shin for the insolence that Romeo will not be able to fulfill his love and will fail.

henry david thoreau and ralph warren emerson earned the name transcendentalists.you could assume that transcendentalists come from a well educated background from people that were alive before the american civil war.these people, mostly new englanders, mostly around boston, were attempting to create a uniquely american body of literature. it was already decades since the americans had won independence from england. and so they deliberately went about creating literature, essays, novels, philosophy, poetry, and other writing that were clearly different from anything from england, france, germany, or any other european nation.another way to look at the transcendentalists is to see them as a generation of people struggling to define spirituality and religion in a way that took into account the new understandings their age made available.
