The Controversy Between William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
On Sunday, May 14th a fight breaks out in Verona Square. The feud between the Montague family and the Capulet family turns into a fight between; Capulet servants and Montague servants. On the early Sunday morning around 10:45am, Sampson and Gregory, known servants of the Capulet family, were spotted walking around Verona Square running errands for the family. Trouble stirred when Abraham, a known servant of the Montague family, and friend ran into Sampson and Gregory. Christopher Sutton, a local baker, said he watched the fight go down. “The fight started when Sampson bit his thumb at Abraham, and they started arguing about whether Sampson really did bite his thumb.” he said. As the argument between the servants got more heated,
the crowd watching them got bigger. Multiple witnesses said that Benvolio, kinsman to the Montague family also got involved in the fight. This was a shock to many people due to the fact that Benvolio was known as a peaceful person. After Benvolio joined the fight, Tybalt joined shortly after. Dorithie Chernock, an eye witness to the fight said “The fight got so hectic that on many occasions, Tybalt threatened to kill Benvolio and Abraham. He even damned the family to hell.” The fight expanded and people from both houses joined in. All of Verona Square was filled with people from both houses fighting, the streets were covered in blood .A huge shock came to some witnesses when they saw Lord Montague and wife, and Lord Capulet and wife watching the fight from afar. Many people expected them to join in but were proven wrong. Not to long after, the peace-officers had to intervene and stop the fight before innocent civilians were injured. In an angered fit, Prince Escalus declared that if both families were to start another fight, they would both be sentenced to death. Most people left the fight with only a few scratched and bruises. However, the two main fighters, Sampson and Abraham, are being treated for major injuries. Sampson is being treated for bruised ribs, a broken arm, and internal bleeding. Abraham on the other hand is in critical condition, he is currently dealing with multiple stab wounds, blood clots, and even short-term memory loss. Although both Abraham and Sampson are currently in the hospital, they are expected to make up for the crime they committed. Prince Escalus talked about punishing the fighters. “It’s a shame that they are both in the hospital, but they can’t expect to get off easy. They put many people in serious danger and now have to pay the price.” he said. Both Abraham and Sampson are expected to complete 150 hours of community service. They are expected to clean garbage off the streets, volunteer in the local hospital, and work with local shop owners. On top of that, each are expected to pay 150 shillings to pay for the damages they caused in Verona Square.
