The Controversy Between The Capulets In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

From the forcing of Juliet to marry Paris, to coming up with a plan for Juliet to be knocked out for quite some time, and sadly, the death of both Romeo and Juliet. Other issues occur in the world that's similar to what happened in the story of Romeo and Juliet. There is a phrase that is ¨death brings out the best and the worst in families.¨ This is true for the story of Romeo and Juliet because they both died, which is the only reason why the two families ended their feud. Who knows if the feud would have been broken if Romeo and Juliet didn't end up dying like they did. That shows that the two families had to go through a very sad event in order for them to realize that their feud is what actually caused it. They were too blindsighted to see that they were the ones who caused the tragic event. ¨First let me be clear about one thing—you are not alone. Not even close! So many people can relate to family fighting after a death. What’s the number one source of conflict? Belongings and money. As hard as it is for many of us to admit, countless families who never imagine there would be conflict over material things are suddenly overwhelmed by disagreement and power struggles.¨(What's your grief). This shows that this happens to families. They have to overcome a tragic event in order to realize something. Now if the Montagues and the Capulets hadn't had their feud,

The Hostility Between the 'Montagues' and the 'Capulets' in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare William Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet has a major theme of conflict. The main conflict in the play is the feud between the two wealthy families: the ‘Montagues’ and the ‘Capulets’. Shakespeare does not state the reason for the hostility between the two families. Shakespeare may have done this to indicate how long the feud has been going for. Shakespeare creates conflicts between characters in the play.

Romeo and Juliet is a story based on conflict. The conflict in the story is Capulet against Montague. From ancient times, the two families have held grudges against each other. As the book states. “Two households, alike in dignity...from ancient grudge break to new mutiny. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean (1.Prologue.1-4).” The grudge between the two families has led to fighting and even death.

Romeo and Juliet first met each other at a party at the Capulets house. They fall in love with each other at the first sight without knowing that they are from families who hate each other, and when they do learn about it, it is too late. Juliet realizes that it was a mistake to fall in love with Romeo, because he is one of the people she should watch out for. He is her first and only love, but he is an enemy of her family. Lucky for Romeo, Juliet is smart, and such dumb thing as hate between their parents wouldn't stop her from loving Romeo and getting married with him. She is sorry that their families are enemies, though, because everything would be much easier if they weren't. So this is the first time when the hate between Capulets and Montagues becomes problem to Romeo and Juliets happiness. Only after their children die, the Montagues and Capulets come to their senses. The Prince accuses them of killing Romeo and Juliet. The Prince makes them see how wrong they were all the time, that all because of their hate, because they couldn't let their children love each other, Romeo and Juliet died. After that, Capulets and Montagues decide to call it quits. No more fighting, and Montague even says that he will make a gold statue of Juliet, but what is that going to do? It is too late, nothing will bring them back. It is totally Capulets' and Montagues' fault that Romeo and Juliet died. If they didn't hate each other so much,

Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet and the families’ feud meant that the two could never be together. This is shown in this quote, “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late!’ (5.3.295-299). In this scene, Juliet complains about Romeo being a Montague. She wishes that he wasn’t so that they could freely be together. Also, both families and their servants would always pick fights on the streets of Verona. One of these fights would result in Romeo being banished from Verona. In a scene of the play, Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin decides to pick a fight with Romeo and his friend Mercutio in the middle of the street. Romeo tries to stop the fight because he is now related to Tybalt through his marriage to Juliet. This is shown in the following quote where Romeo tries to keep the peace, “Draw Benvolio, beat down their weapons. / Gentlemen, for shame! / ... / Forbid this bandying in Verona’s streets” (3.1.381-384), but no one listens to him and Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio. Romeo has no choice but to kill Tybalt for revenge which leads to the Prince banishing Romeo. Without the feud, Romeo and Juliet would not have had to keep their love a secret and, the fight that resulted in Romeo’s banishment would never have happened. This is why the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues is responsible for Romeo

To begin with, the feud between Romeo and Juliet’s families began even before the two were born, tragically dooming their relationship before it could even start. The Feud was triggered by an old grudge, causing family, friends, and servants between the two families to take sides. “What, drawn, and talk of peace?

The feud between the two families is a reason that they are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

The play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is about a tragedy of two star crossed lovers who want nothing more than to be together forever. “…Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” (2.2.35-36) Romeo, a Montague, who is young and passionate, meets Juliet at a Capulet party. When they meet, it’s love at first sight. Juliet, a Capulet, is a beautiful young lady tired of being controlled by her father, Lord Capulet. The two families are in a never ending feud that comes between Romeo and Juliet’s love. In the course of four and a half days, Romeo and Juliet plan their marriage with the help of Priest Friar Laurence and Juliet’s Nurse. After the couple is married,

What contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet was the family feud between them,

The Capulet’s were known to be the ones continuing the family feud as they were always the ones provoking the Montague’s and starting the fights. As males were the head of the family in charge, he is to blame for the continuing feud. Fate was also a major role with this flaw. Although Lord Capulet was blamed for continuing the feud, this plays along with fate and that fate kept this feud going. Act 1 Scene 1 Line 65 he says to Lady Capulet, “What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!” If the feud was not continued by Lord Capulet, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to hide their love for one another nor keep their marriage a secret. Romeo wouldn’t have been banished for killing Tybalt and most importantly, they wouldn’t have died. In this scenario Lord Capulet should not have tried to pull out weapons to fight the Montague’s as it is shown that the feud between the families can be linked back to him, as he is being confrontational and aggressive. Lord Capulet was exceptionally antagonistic towards the Montague’s, leading towards the feud being continued which spiralled towards the tragic

They both go through a lot of trouble to be together, soon leading them to their demise.

Chorus states (or sings), “Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene from ancient grudge break to new mutiny where civil blood makes civil hands unclean”(pg. 771) Even from the start of the play, it was known that there was a hatred between the two. It is unhealthy for two groups of people hating each other like that. This creates children to not be able to make their own decisions and go behind their parents’ backs like they did. At the Capulet party, Romeo states, “Is she a Capulet? O dear account my life is my foe’s debt.” (pg, 790) Even at the very start when Romeo found out Juliet was a Capulet, he was upset. This hatred has made these kids’ life very difficult for them to do what they want. This feud between the two basically created the play. Without the feud, there would be no “Romeo and Juliet” it would just be another story about how two people fell in love a long time

Should someone sacrifice their all for love? Not everyone believes that love is wonderful, but is love worth everything? Romeo and Juliet are known as “a pair of star-crossed lovers” (Shakespeare, 2). Romeo and Juliet are young lovers. They met each other at a party and fell in love instantly.

This feud the Capulets and Montagues have not only affected their children but the citizens of Verona.
