Intruder Romeo Crashes Capulet Ball
VERONA- A few nights ago, a party was organized by the Capulet family. We are not sure exactly why but we have learnt from Lord Capulet it is something they celebrate every year. As we are all aware, the two families are well known because of their huge grudge against each other that has been going on for years. So of course, the Montagues were excluded from this event. The Capulet’s were high in hope that Juliet will fall in love with Paris.

Servants rushed around preparing the evening, lighting torches and setting the tables up so everyone can dance and the ladies can charm men.

Lord Capulet encouraged everyone to take the dance floor.

Romeo and Mercutio have come across a servant earlier who cannot read and found out about the party and that Rosaline (who Romeo thinks he is in love with) will be there.

Romeo seems to take no shame in intruding this royal event “What, shall this speech be spoke for our excuse? Or shall we on with no apology?”
Since it was a masquerade, Romeo dressed himself up in disguise like everyone else and had no problem making himself feel just as if he was a guest, he joined everyone on the dance floor and asked many girls to dance hoping to find Rosaline.

As the night continued, Tybalt recognized a voice. Later, he realized it was a voice of a Montague. Romeo Montague. Tybalt did not want to let this go unnoticed; he brought it up to Capulet. Capulet, not wanting to ruin the party, told him to just leave Romeo alone, not knowing the two upcoming dangers. Enraged, Tybalt left the party.

By the end of the night, Romeo fell in love with Juliet, only later did she find out the handsome man she kissed was a Montague. This love can lead to real danger.

The next day, Tybalt, from the Capluet’s and Mercutio and Benvolio from the Montague’s found themselves face to face with each other in the streets of Verona. Soon after, Romeo showed up. A member of Tybalt's family said they overheard a conversation where Tybalt said

    Secondly, Mercutio and Benvolio's decision to bring Romeo to the Capulet party, and Romeo's acceptance to go, brought both Romeo and Juliet one step closer to their deaths despite the fact that they had not even met each other yet. It was at this feast, where the two lovers met for the first time. At the beginning of the story, the reader is informed that Romeo has ended the relationship with his former lover, Rosaline. Because he was very depressed, his friends persuaded Romeo to go to the feast to look for another girl. The problem was that the feast was hosted by the Capulets. Romeo was the only Montague there; however, Capulet decided not to ask Romeo to leave in an attempt to prevent a fight. At the party, Romeo and Juliet met each other, and there was…

    This scene serves as a contrast to the preceding scene in Friar Laurence's cell. Mercutio and Benvolio are in a merry mood as they walk along talking and laughing about Romeo whom they think is still pining away over Rosaline. Benvolio mentions that Tybalt has sent a challenge to Romeo. Mercutio then gives a long description of Tybalt's eagerness to fight. Romeo comes along in a good mood after his talk with Friar Laurence. They engage in a series of puns matching their wits against each other. Along comes Juliet's nurse and Peter (her servant).…

    Another example of what happens later on that night, when Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio agree on assisting the Capulet party; Romeo wanders off and finds Juliet. Not knowing Tybalt was near him starts to describe Juliet. Tybalt says in Act I, scene v, “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. (to his PAGE) Fetch me my rapier, boy.—What, dares the slave, Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” Angered by Romeo’s presence, he wants to kill him. Lord Capulet’s forbid Tybalt of causing a fight and Tybalt leaves saying to himself he will have Romeo pay for what he has done. (Act I, scene v)…
