Who killed Romeo and Juliet

     Romeo and Juliet is a play by William Shakespeare. It takes place in Verona, Italy during the Renaissance.    The play is about two rich families during a long feud.

He also hates Capulet, as it says in Act I, scene i, line 80: łThou villain Capulet!-Hold me not, let me go.˛ He is just as bad as Capulet in the feud.  Romeo cannot talk to his dad about Juliet, or he will probably kick him out.  If Montague did not keep this feud going, there would be no problem for Romeo; but he will not talk peace even after the Prince says t...
