The servant in Act 1 Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been given a list of people to invite to Capulet's "old accustomed feast". Unfortunately he cannot read, and so does not know who to deliver the invitations to. He asks Romeo to read it for him, and thus Romeo finds out that Rosaline is invited to the party. This makes him want to crash it.
The problem that occurs when Capulet sends his servant out to invite people to his party is that the servant cannot read and ends up unknowingly inviting Romeo and his friends, who are Montagues and not on the guest list. This causes tension and potential conflict between the two families.
