This was a family rivalry that had been ongoing for years before the story of "Romeo & Juliet" begins. The cause behind it was never explained by Shakespeare. Romeo was a Montague; Juliet was a Capulet.
Their children fall in love but lose their lives as a result of the feud.
Shakespeare, however, didn't actually invent this story, someone else did. The cause may have been explained by the unknown author.

The feud between the Capulets and Montagues in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" originates from a long-standing rivalry between the two families. The specific event that escalates the tension at the start of the play is a street brawl between their servants.

∙ 11y agoThere is no indication of what the feud actually is in the play, the only thing that the reader actually knows is that is was something that lasted for a very long time. I was actually kind of let down when I realized that there is no information on why the two families were actually fighting.

∙ 13y agoSome of the Capulet servants decide that they will insult the Montague servants who are around the marketplace. He "bites his thumb" at them (which involves making a fist and flicking your thumb at the other person off your teeth) which has about the same meaning as the rudest gesture you can think of invoving your hand.
