Question

Early in Act I, the Prince of Verona threatens the two feuding families after they disturb the peace. What punishment does he promise for the next disturbance?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Prince of Verona appears in the tragic play "Romeo and Juliet" by English playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616).

In the play, two families have a long and bloody feud going on for decades: the Capulets and the Montagues. It is made clear from the very beginning that their rivalry has led them to kill. Now, the prince of Verona, the city where the families live, is threatening to execute them if they do not stop with their fighting.

Sadly, Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague will fall in love with each other. Their secret love and marriage will only lead to more and more tragedy, eventually ending up with their own deaths.
