Both Left with Feelings of GriefDalia YousifVERONA – A fatal battle in the streets of Verona on the afternoon of Monday 23rd July left a member of the royal family and a
Capulet dead and Romeo
Montague exiled by Prince Escalus.
The two long-feuding families, who have thrice disturbed the peace of streets of Verona have again acted when family pride got the better of them. Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio reports that the fight began after Tybalt sought retribution on Romeo after crashing the Capulet’s feast
on Sunday night, but could only find Mercutio, a kinsman to Prince Escales, who provoked Tybalt. When Romeo arrived, Tybalt insulted him and encouraged him to fight.Mercutio and Tybalt Capulet battle it out in the streets of Verona | Romeo, who only wished for peace, said “I do protest I never injured thee, but love thee better than thou canst devise”
Mercutio, who was described “impatient by the lack of fight” by Mr Celtic, a fruit stall owner who witnessed the scene, drew his sword and fought Tybalt, when Romeo refused to fight. Mercutio was stabbed and killed by Tybalt, who then fled as Romeo attempted to break up the two adversaries.
Romeo Montague avenges Mercutio's death by killing Tybalt CapuletBenvolio recounts: “[Romeo’s] agile arm beat down their fatal points and ‘twixt them rushes; underneath whose arm an envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life of stout Mercutio.”
Filled with vengeance and guilt of Mercutio’s death Romeo, who became “fire-eyed furious,” successfully avenged his friend’s death by fighting and killing Tybalt.
Prince Escalus, who arrived shortly after on the scene, was furious with the two | Prince Escalus banishes Romeo Montague from Veronafeuding families wreaking havoc on the streets of gentle Verona and was forced to exile Romeo Montague as punishment. “And for that offence immediately we do exile him hence.”
With this order, Romeo’s exile for taking Tybalt’s life was official and fulfilled an outcry from the citizens of Verona to keep the public peace. Witness Ava Oakley was devastated by the fact that the two families have once again brawled. “The Montagues and Capulets have been quarrelling for too long, it needs to stop. They need to get over their pride and cooperate during these hard times Verona is facing.” -------------------------------------------------

Prince EscalesThe feud has claimed two more lives, one of which, is neither a Montague nor Capulet. Will this scourge continue to claim the lives of innocent people? |
