Who are the Montagues and the Capulets?no

“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 misadventured piteous
overthrows


Doth 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, naught 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.”


Two households- The Montagues (Son: Romeo Montague
Age: 18) and the Capulets (Daughter: Juliet Age: 13 nearly 14) To understand Romeo and
Juliet you must know of the Capulet’s and Montague’s on-going fight. Generations before
Romeo and Juliet takes place the Capulets and Montagues had their fight started. I guess
it’s kind of like our Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie; subtract the anorexia, and the
once “best pals,” then horrible enemies back to “best
pals”


Since of this parent’s “strife,” I believe this is
why Romeo and Juliet fall in love, not because they really are, just because they know
they can never be together because of the parents fighting.  If the families weren’t at
war with each other, maybe the tragedy known as Romeo And Juliet were the two lovers
fall in love and end up killing themselves since they can’t be together, might have
never happened. Maybe they might ended up just married, with a kid or two, and ,
probably divorced since very rarely do many people have “love at first sight” and end up
married and living “Happily ever after”


The End… 
NOT!


With Love and
Care,


Alice. :)

In Act III, scene 2, why may the establishment of Claudius's guilt be considered the crisis of the revenge plot?

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
