BREAKING NEWS! This breaking
news is brought to you by Verona’s News Channel 2. Servants of the Montague and
Capulet family start a brawl in the middle of the streets. Onlookers described
the scene as dramatic and frightening. An eyewitness stated that the fight
started because Sampson, a Capulet servant, bites his thumb at the Montagues.
The men begin to argue, and Benvolio tries to stop the fight. Once Tybalt sees
Benevolio has drawn his sword, Tybalt does the same. Benevolio tries to explain
that he was just trying to stop the fight. Tybalt, on the other hand, begins
ranting about his hatred of the Montague family. Tybalt tries to attack
Benevolio. Capulet and Montague approach the scene of the fight, and their
wives try to stop them from attacking the other. Both families stop fighting.
The Prince states that the fighting must stop. If anyone disturbs the peace,
then he or she will be punished with a death sentence. The Prince seemed
adamant that the peace treaty should be enforced or death will be the
punishment. People of Verona be warned!
