In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio attend the Capulet party primarily for social reasons. Initially, the motivation stems from Benvolio's desire to help Romeo overcome his unrequited love for Rosaline. Benvolio encourages Romeo to go to the Capulet's feast to meet other women and try to forget Rosaline.
Romeo is initially reluctant because he feels heartbroken over Rosaline, but eventually, he agrees to go along with his friends. Mercutio, known for his witty and playful nature, also contributes to the group's decision to attend the party by urging them to embrace life and indulge in their youthful desires.
Their attendance at the Capulet party ultimately leads to Romeo's fateful encounter with Juliet, setting off the tragic chain of events that follow in the play.
