After the streetfight with which Romeo and Juliet begins, Prince Escalus makes streetfighting a capital offence in Verona.

It is an over-reaction, and before the play is done it will cause more trouble than it solves. Prince Escalus' actions are driven by anger, not by wisdom - he has the same fault as every other character (except two) in this violent play.

Because the feud between the Montagues and Capulets was disturbing the peace , Prince Escalus threatens the partisans with execution and torture if they fight again. However, when Romeo does fight with Tybalt (a Capulet) he is only banished. (Friar Laurence does tell Romeo he was lucky to escape with his life.) Verbatim, Escalus says "Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace/ Profaners of this neighbor-staine`d steel-- / Will they not hear? What, ho, you men, you beasts/ That quench the fire of your pernicious rage/ With purple fountains issuing from your veins!/On pain of torture, from those bloody hands/ Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground/ And hear the sentence of your moved prince./ Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word/ By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,/Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets/And made Verona's ancient citizens/Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments/To wield old partisans, in hands as old/ Cank'red by peace, to part your cank'red hate./If ever you disturb our streets again/ Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace./"The immediate consequence of the fight the Prince broke up was that he separated old Capulet and Montague and gave them lectures, like schoolchildren. I hope this helped! Best of luck studying Romeo and Juliet.
