Well Shakespeare leaves most of his work up to interpretation. Some lines do not depict the character's attitudes/personality, and it is left up to the director of the performance to decide how the roles will be carried out. All we need to know is that they were in a civil brawl.

William Shakespeare does not disclose the cause of the family feud because the focus is meant to be on Romeo and Juliet. Also by not disclosing the cause of the feud, the reader does not have a timeline and it is assumed that it is a multi-generational feud.

It was never revealed as to why they were fighting in the beginning of the play, but you should know why they were during the play.

It really doesn't matter. Nobody in the story knows what started it, nor do they care.

Nobody knows. It is something that happened a long time ago and everyone has forgotten about.
