What indications are there the feud between the Montague and Capulet has been going on for some time?

All we can say is that it had started long before the play starts. The prologue describes it as an "ancient grudge". By the time of the play nobody really remembers why it started, or makes any reference to it.

∙ 13y agoYes, indeed. Knowing that their dispute was at the least a contributing factor in the death of their children and heirs made Montague and Capulet bury the hatchet. From their attitude earlier in the play, it seems that Capulet's heart especially was not in the feud anyway.

∙ 14y agoIt doesn't say. To be honest I don't think there is a reason. The feud has been going on for generations and I don't think any of the living generations know why it exists.

What does Montague say happened to his wife when he comes to the Capulet tomb?
he tells them that she died due to the grief she was going through with romeo's banishment.:)
The use of benvolio as narrator?
"He isn't the narrorater. There is no narrorater in act 3 scene 1" First of all its narrator not narrorater and in Baz Luhrmann's romeo and juliet Benvolio is seen as the narrator when he reveals to prince who was involved in the fight
Does Shakespeare present the Capulet's as bad people?
No. He represnts them as ignorant people because they are oblivious to what is going on between their daughter and their enemy's son.
Why did Romeo go to the party even though he knows that Juliet is a Capulet?
Romeo wanted to get a chance to see Rosaline who he knew was going to the party after accidentally reading the guestlist. He estimated that he would not get into too much trouble for crashing the party and he was right. After all, he and his Montague buddies were going to keep a low profile and behave themselves, since they were not interested in fighting with Capulets. The Capulets weren't much interested in fighting with them either, as Capulet shows even after he knows Romeo is there. He says to Tybalt that Romeo is supposed to be a nice young man and he certainly looks like one and he's causing no trouble and why doesn't Tybalt take a cold shower or something? Part of what's interesting about the Capulet-Montague feud is how little most of the parties want to perpetuate it. Sure they keep on talking the talk--even Juliet calls Montague "my only hate" even though she's never met a Montague. But when push comes to shove, it's people like Tybalt (who is not a Capulet; his aunt married one) and the servants like Abram and Samson who want to fight and the real Capulets and Montagues get sucked into it.
Juliette's reaction to romeo last name?
Juliet felt names kept the two apart and if only he was not a montegue they would be aloud to be together. she also says she would do anything to be with him even if it would be to give up her last name as a Capulet.
How do Montague and Capulet to honor the memories of their children?
By making golden statues of each others' childrenLord Capulet is going to build a gold statue of Romeo and Lord Montague is going to build a gold statue of Juliet... Remember that Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague... They also decide to end the feud.. If that wasn't already obvious...
Why was romeo and Juliet familys name such a huge issue back then?
It was not the names as such, but what they represented. Most of the people in the play that fight because of the Montague/Capulet rivalry are not called Montague or Capulet. This includes Samson, Gregory and Abram, who start the fight in Act 1. They are servants, not members of the family. Tybalt says he hates all Montagues, but is his name Capulet? No it is not. His father is Lady Capulet's brother. It is more of a label for a gang than a family name: Tybalt's name is not Capulet, but he hangs with the Capulet gang; Mercutio's name is not Montague, but he hangs with the Montague gang. Disputes, feuds or wars between gangs or factions of one kind or another are of course something that has gone on forever and are still going on, and are not limited to "back then"

Who has the longest standing conflict in the play Romeo and Juliet?
There is only one "long-standing conflict" in the play and it is between the Capulet family and their hangers-on, and the Montague family and their hangers-on. It is not expressly stated, but we get the impression that this particular feud has been going on since before Capulet and Montague were born. In a sense, if you want to talk about individual conflicts, Capulet and Montague, both older men, have been enemies theoretically since they were children.
Does either the Montague or The Capulet house try to do anything to resolve the ancient quarrel?
At the end of the story, when both of their children are dead, the capulets and Montague's try and work things out. They realize that their hatred doesn't help anybody so Montague decided he would make Juliet's tomb out of gold. This action shows you they are going to work things out.
What happens in the first scene of the first act of Romeo and Juliet and who is involved?
The feud is portrayed as one that has been going on for years. You can also conclude that not only is the feud between Montague and Capulet themselves, but that their entire families, including the servants, have taken sides as well.
What is the feud who was feuding why in the story of romeo and juliet?
The feud in "Romeo and Juliet" is between the Capulet and Montague families in Verona. The reason for the feud is never explicitly stated in the play, but it is implied to be a long-standing rivalry based on pride and past disagreements. The feud serves as a major obstacle to Romeo and Juliet's love and ultimately leads to tragedy.
