Romeo and Juliet Ball Gossip
Verona Blab In the great hall of the Capulets, all is a-bustle. The servants work feverishly to make sure all runs smoothly, and set aside some food to make sure they have some enjoyment of the feast as well. But this ball isn’t what it seems, for many secrets lay behind the curtain and around the corner. The Capulet ball, where enemies were brought together, arguments occurred and love was in the air. It’s no surprise that the Montague’s were excluded from this event as the feud between the Capulet’s and Montague’s has been going on for quite some time now. Dancing, music, laughter, and love, there’s nothing like a Capulet party, however, the party wasn’t all fun and games. Three young men were spotted sneaking into this party. At first, no one knew for sure exactly who these men were. I thought to myself, maybe they were Montague’s trying to crash this party and make it a disaster, causing more of a feud between the families. I interviewed Tybalt to get more information on these men. Tybalt response was, “This by his voice should be a Montague” which meant that they were in fact Montague’s, and that he was definitely not happy to see them. “I wanted them to leave” he said “they were never invited in the first place and had no right to be there”. This quickly stirred up as a conundrum in my head, and I wondered why the Montague’s weren’t kicked out. “I was furious when Capulet told me that the Montague’s were welcome to stay. He didn’t want any trouble but I wanted them gone!” stated Tybalt. It seemed as though he wanted to create more conflict between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s, however, Capulet would not allow him to create a big scene. The Montague men weren’t the only interesting men at the party. A young gentleman by the name of Paris was also spotted at the party. He seemed to be spending a lot of time with Capulet’s daughter, Juliet. Could this be the start of a new relationship? It could be, but my sources soon revealed to me that

    Death always tends to grasp people's attention, especially the deaths of children just like in Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.

    The audience become increasingly aware of the rivalry. Luhrmann suggests that the Montagues, though proud to maintain the feud, fear the Capulets. This is shown through the conflicting mannerisms of the two families. A Capulet jokingly pronounces, "Boo". This results in a negative reaction that embarrasses the Montagues. The reaction makes evident the influential power the Capulets have and how they are perhaps the more aggressive family. In return for their humiliation, a Montague uses a juvenile hand gesture to insult the Capulets. This gesture reaffirms the irresponsible nature of the Montagues.

    “Where be these enemies?/Capulet! Montague!/See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,/That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love./And I for winking at your discords too/Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.”(V. 3. 291-296) .
