    Romeo and Juliet-Opening Fight Scene
    At the beginning of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, a fight breaks out. This fight is used
    to set the scene and explain the age-old feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. This is
    first seen as Tybalt, of the Capulets, talks about his dislike of Montages As hell, all
    Montagues. (1.1.61) Later during the opening scene, the citizens watch arrives shouting Down
    with the Capulets! Down with the Montagues! (1.1.64) showing how they have had enough.
    This feeling is later echoed through the Prince as he notes the families have thrice disturbed the
    quite of our streets. (1.1.82) Together, this is all used to collectively used to introduce the
    audience to the feud and how it is disruptive to the town.
