What A Charmer

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Act 1, Scene 1 purpose is to introduce the lesser characters and show how easily the families fight. The families got into a fight even though Sampson wasn’t really “biting his thumb” at Abram. As the fight continues more and more family members joins the fight. Then some citizens who are feed up with all of their nonsense joins the fight which only makes it worst. When the Prince showed up everything hit rock bottom. He got real mad at both family and tells them that the next time they break the peace they’ll pay with their heads. Well I guess that’s one way to stop them from fighting. Later on Romeo finally showed up but all he could do was talk about his horrible love life. What a charmer.
