The Capulet-Montague feud is petty, foolish, and easily blown out of proportion.

Explanation:

Sampson and Gregory represent the House of Capulet, and Abraham and Balthasar represent the House of Montague. The two families are in a feud, an argument, that touches everyone even the slightest bit related to them. Because of it, apparently you can’t even walk on the street in Verona without a fight starting.

Abraham and Balthasar’s fight starts pretty harmlessly. They are walking along in the street (with weapons, of course), when Sampson insults them. He does so slyly and silently, with what would be the alike of the modern middle finger. Abraham calls him out on it.

you should go do that
