Verona Monologue

Lord Capulet and Montague arrive, and begin to argue. The reason they dislike each is because of a long standing feud. They then begin to fight, Lord Capulet calls for his long sword - "Give me my long sword ho! " The two wives Lady Montague and Lady Capulet, try to restrain their husbands at first but then the Prince arrives, he tries to make peace, and he warns the Capulets and Montagues that "If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."

In the beginning of the play, the Capulets and Montagues are experiencing a fight. Although Benvolio, cousin of Romeo, wanted to keep peace, he was convinced by the Capulets to fight.

However, Tybalt (Capulet) comes along and will not “talk of peace! I hate the word,” leaving Benvolio with no choice but to continue the conflict. The citizens of Verona are obviously sick of the conflict that exists between the Capulets and Montague, as they shout “Down with the Capulets! Down with the Montague!” So it is clear that the people of Verona do not like the frequent civil wars. This negativity towards conflict could also be seen as a metaphor for maintaining the peace in Shakespearean society.

One of the reasons why Capulet is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death is because of the Montague - Capulet feud. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet can’t be together due to their parents fighting. At the beginning of the play, a fight breaks out between members of the Capulet and Montague families (Act I, Scene I, Lines 50 - 70). After the fight causes a disturbance in Verona, Prince Escalus says that anyone that fights again will be executed. This punishment comes up again when Tybalt, a Capulet, and Romeo, a Montague, fight after Tybalt kills Romeo’s friend, Mercutio (Act III, Scene I, Lines 80 - 130). Instead of

In lines 86 through 105 in the text, there is a fight in the Verona streets between the capulets and Montague containing Romeo, Mercutio, and Tybalt. The prince had banned all fighting between the two or he would sentence then to death. Skapare accomplishes the overall effect in many different ways. Shakespeare accomplishes the overall effect in many different ways. One way is when Mercutio and Tybalt are so mad at each other they got into a big fight. They got into the fight just playing around at first until it ot serious. The Capulets and Montague fight over about almost everything. This effect shows that the madness between the two will affect all the lives of everyone in Verona. Also, shakespeare accomplishes the overall effect

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the two main protagonist die due to the actions of their relatives and acquaintances; however the question still lingers of who has the most blood on their hands. The most responsible characters are Tybalt (a capulet servant), and Friar Lawrence. Throughout the play, two feuding houses interfere in the internal affairs of two first-time lovers: Romeo of House Montague and Juliet of House Capulet. Being set in the late 1500’s, a simple argument triggers a chain reaction of hostility. In a faction-based society this may cause a micro civil war, if not resolved quickly. Yet, it is the simple miscommunication which leads to four needless deaths throughout the play.

At the very start of the story we find that two servants from the Capulets Gregory and Sampson that begin a fight with the Montague servants Abraham and Balthasar. Gregory and Sampson provoke the Montague servants by biting their thumb at them, which causes an outrage between them. It causes a huge fight to happen with more people than just the four of them to join in, which could have been avoided, but even the servants hate one another just like their masters. Prince Escalus enters and stops the brawl by saying “If ever you disturb our streets again Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” (1.1.94,95). Clearly the prince is done with all the fighting between the two groups. This hate they have

In Verona, the infamous feud between the Montagues and the Capulets ruled the streets. Just as this feud was a main factor in Verona, it was the foundation of Romeo and Juliet’s story as well as the cause of their downfall. The beginning of this story paints the reader a vivid image of a public market erupting into a fight

Yesterday evening, march 29 1996, at 6:30pm yet another fight emerged at the local Verona phoenix gas station. The brawl was between the two rival houses, the Montagues and the Capulets. The brawl emerged from mockery by a Capulet who bit his thumb at the Montagues, the fight then quickly escalated. Even the kinsmen of each house, Tybalt and Benvolio, were involved. The fight was ended by the police chief Captain Prince who had some choice words to say to each house. “... If you ever cause a disturbance on our streets again, you will pay for it with your lives”. We still have not heard from either houses. As for the injuries, only one was injured, but he has made a full recovery.

Romeo & Juliet Throughout Romeo and Juliet there are multiple examples of feuds and violence throughout the play. First, within the opening scene of the play the servants of the Capulets and Montagues engage in a street fight. The Capulet servants Samson and Gregory bait Abram into confrontation by insulting his master. The quote from Sampson saying “But if you do,sir,I am for you. I serve as good a man as you.”

“Three civil brawls,bred of an airy word By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets and made Verona’s ancient citizens Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments”. (1,1,80) These famous lines were spoken by Prince in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, these lines demonstrate how the feud between the Capulets and Montagues and how the drama between these two families prevented the forbidden love Romeo and Juliet from getting married. The feud was started centuries before Romeo & Juliet and still went on within their time honestly if it weren’t for the feud the play would be highly monotonous if it wasn’t for the misunderstanding between the two families most of the fights and deaths would cease to exist. Such

On Monday, (the 25th of July, 1550) In Verona, Italy. In the small market square, once again the streets were not at peace. The Capulets and the Montagues were fighting. The fight led to include members of each family, and ultimately led to the Pince issuing a word of caution to the two families.

Romeo and Juliet introduces us to a long lasting feud carried through many generations and brought upon two families children. “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” (Shakespeare Prologue.1-4). This feud the Capulets and Montagues have not only affected their children but the citizens of Verona. When two relatives of the different families start fighting against one another, the citizens start fighting against them and soon everyone is pulling out swords until the Prince comes to break up the quarrel in his city. If the Capulets and Montagues were not openly

There is a lot of conjecture surrounding this conflict between the two households. One of the citizens of Verona recently stated in an interview that “the quarrel between the two households has disrupted the peace of the city of verona”. It is clear to us that the citizens of Verona do not feel safe and secured as long as the animosity continues between the two households. Whenever the Capulets and the Montagues collide the outcome is always destructive and this also affects the residents of Verona. Even Mercutio's last words before he died were “I wish a plague amongst the two Households”.

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. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows. Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
