Book!Benvolio, while he loses Romeo and Mercutio, still has a loving mother and uncle and is generally well-regarded by Verona. In the show, he's orphaned, bullied by Lord Montague who also killed his father, viewed as an irresponsible drunkard and has his heart broken by Canon Foreigner Stella.

comment
Abusive Parents: Lady Capulet raised her two nieces, Rosaline and Livia, but treated them more like servants than family. Rosaline believes this is because Lady Capulet is jealous of their late mother. Lord Montague emotionally abuses Benvolio, constantly degrades him, uses him for target practice when he's bored and it turns out murdered his father in the first place. Benvolio even asks why his uncle has always hated him.
