Who is fighting at the beginning at the first scene?

Gregory and Sampson (servants of Capulet's) pick a fight with Abram and Balthasar (servants of Montague's) Benvoleo tries to brake it up but Tybalt wants to fight him, and they do. Then some random other people start fighting. Lord Capulet and Lord Montague want to fight but there wives won't let them. Then the Prince Escalus enters and threatens the Capulet's and Montague's with death if they fight in public again.


How Lord Capulet and Lord Montague act toward one another?

They do not interact personally at all during the play. In Act I Scene 1, Capulet comes into the marketplace and sees the fighting and says, "My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, and flourishes his blade in spite of me." Except this is not true: the stage direction "Enter Montague" comes after he delivers this line. Capulet imagines Montague, who is offstage, to be there flourishing his blade. Montague then comes on and says "Thou villain Capulet!" but is restrained from entering the marketplace. The upshot is that they do not meet or fight. They each see the other's servants and imagine him to be there.This first meeting sets the tone for the feud. It is all in people's minds. You will note that neither Montague or Capulet ever start a fight: it is always their servants or people like Tybalt and Mercutio who belong to different families, quarrelsome people who take advantage of the feud to quarrel. We know that Capulet would just as soon not fight Montague. To Paris he confesses that he is happy with the Prince's edict so long as it binds both families. When Romeo is discovered at the party and Tybalt wants to start a fight, Capulet forbids him, insulting Tybalt and praising Romeo.In other words, Capulet and Montague are ripe for reconciliation. They only needed the one event to push them to this conclusion. The price was, unfortunately, very steep.
