TIME :

PLACE :
Verona in northern Italy
ORIENTATION :
In the city of Verona in northern Italy there
lived, during the early fourteenth century, two noble families, the Montagues
and the Capulets. These two families had been bitter enemies for generations
and the enmity still continued, although the original cause of the quarrel had
been long forgotten. If a servant of the Montagues met a Capulet servant in the
street, a fight would almost certainly result and the fight would soon take on
the proportions of a battle as one person after another arrived on the scene.
With a cry of ‘ down with the capulets! ‘ or ‘ Down with the Montagues! ‘ each
new arrival would rush headlong into the fray to support one side or the other.
Escalus, prince of verona was displeased by
these constant brawls in the city streets, and after one particularly noisy
fight he appeared on the scene and angrily reproached the heads of the two
houses, who also happened to be pasing just then, although they were in no way responsible for the struggle which had
just taken place.
