Conflict Capulets vs. Montagues One major conflict in Romeo and Juliet is the Capulets against the Montagues. Throughout the play, we see the conflicts faced between both families. Due to the hatred towards each other, it makes Romeo and Juliet’s relationship harder. For example, they can’t be seen together; therefore, they can only see each other at night. If he was to be caught, then it would cause a lot of problems and violence. A glimpse of what could occur happened at the Capulet party where
The feud between the Montagues and Capulets is ultimately responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because it forced Romeo, Juliet, and their allies to keep their marriage a secret. First of all, Romeo and Juliet have to keep their marriage a secret or their families would have been very mad. The Montagues and Capulets were enemies, and if they found out that there children had gotten married, they would not have been happy. The Prince says, “By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, have thrice disturbed
is… to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.” Many could compare the Montagues and Capulets from the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet to the most violent rivals, the Bloods and Crips. In the short story, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare family fueds are well intepred in the tragic love story to the rivals between the Bloods and Crips. The family feud between the Montagues and Capulets have been a long lasting war ig the families. This can be shown in the short story

She knew that if she informed them of how she felt, they would get angry and maybe disown her, just because of their hate for all Montagues. That is another of the Capulet family's flaws.

Romeo spots Juilet for the first time and is awe struck by her beauty: That I never saw real beauty until tonight (II, V, 53) Tybalt over hears this and is enraged: That man has the voice of Montague. And he tries to attack
the romantic and handsome son of the Montagues. In the beginning of the story, he was depressed, but his mood quickly changed as the story went on. We also learn that Mercutio is Romeo’s closest and good friend who tries to make Romeo forget about his first love, Rosaline. He is a great entertainer and he’s very sarcastic too. Instantly, we learn that Tybalt is a Capulet and Juliet’s cousin. He is very hot-headed, aggressive, and violent. He loathes the Montagues very much. Finally, in Act One of William
the Montagues and the Capulets continue being rivals all the way to the end of the play until the inevitable event takes its place. In the play, there are many pieces of evidence that further present the prologue’s sad foretold reality. Even as early as the first scene of the play, we already see some evidence to back up the prologue. "[Romeo]…And makes himself and artificial night."

Have at thee, coward!” (Shakespeare, page 12) creates a mental picture of Tybalt as a very hateful person. He lets his hate and aggression overpower his common sense, as shown in this line from the Capulet’s Party scene: “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy.
