In Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet, the concern with avoiding civil strife is evident through the initial feud between the Montagues and Capulets, as well as Prince Escalus's warning that those who disturb the peace will face consequences. The families' conflict sets the stage for the tragic events that follow, highlighting the detrimental effects of civil strife on individuals and society. Shakespeare's portrayal of this conflict serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive nature of discord within a community.
No, it is their parents' strife. In prologue it is written 'with their death bury their parents' strife'. This means the feud between the families is ended when their dearest children die as a cause of their fighting.
The play Romeo and Juliet was sort of based on actual civil strife in 13th century Verona, Italy.
The prologue tells us so, doesn't it: "do with their deaths bury their parents' strife"? And indeed it appears that Montague and Capulet do reconcile at the end of the play. Montague offers to build a statue of Juliet, and Capulet responds by saying he will do the like for Romeo.
As the prologue says, Romeo and Juliet "do with their death bury their parents' strife."
Romeo and Juliet are "a pair of star-crossed lovers . . . who, with their deaths, bury their parents' strife." We are told that before the play even starts.
Literally, "With their death they bury their parents' strife." Romeo and Juliet! :)
Literally, "With their death they bury their parents' strife." Romeo and Juliet! :)
They will "bury their parents' strife." The families will stop fighting each other.
Well, at least their families, or what is left of them, are not fighting any more.
The key line is the one which says that Romeo and Juliet "will, with their death, bury their parents' strife." The words "their death" should be a giveaway. "Strife" means fighting, so you should be able to figure out what will happen to the fight between their families.
"In fair Verona" "a pair of star-crossed lovers" "do with their deaths bury their parents' strife."
