Explanation:

In the Shakespeare excerpt from Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio warns Romeo against his doomed - love situation. There is no such warning in the Ovid - related part. Ovid's part does not suggest searching for a more suitable companion, nor does it suggest that romantic relationships encounter obstacles. Shakespeare's excerpt does not reveal doubts about the beloved but rather the despair of unrequited love due to the vow.

Answer:

Only Shakespeare shows a character warning against a doomed relationship.
