Love and Feud Analysis

Read the original mini-scene below, then answer the questions using evidence and your own interpretation. For quotation questions, use the wording supplied in the passage.

A village divided

At the village fete, two rival families had been arguing for so long that nobody could remember how the quarrel began. Their stalls stood at opposite ends of the green. When a gust of wind sent a banner flying, Juliet caught it before it landed in a puddle. Romeo, from the other family, hurried over to help. Their hands met on the wet cloth. “Thank you,” Juliet said. “I thought your family only knew how to argue.” “Perhaps we have other talents,” Romeo replied. He smiled, then noticed Tybalt watching from the rival stall. Tybalt’s expression hardened. “Come away,” he warned Juliet. “People will talk.” That evening, Juliet looked across the green at Romeo’s brightly lit stall. “Why should a name decide whom I may trust?” she wondered. The next morning, she found a note tucked beneath her family’s fete programme: “Meet me by the clock tower. I want to speak without our families listening.” Romeo waited there, but neither was certain what would happen if the feud discovered their friendship. The fete’s final bell rang. Neither of them moved.
