Capulets Vs. Montegues

The driving force of conflict in Romeo and Juliet is the bad blood between the Capulets and the Montegues. The beauty of this conflict is that it's never truly explained. Is it political? Family rivalry? Did Mr. Capulet accidentally build over the Montegue property line? What exactly is going on? I think that leaving the conflict unexplained is one of the reasons that the feud is so relatable. This is why I think that conveying the feud on stage would be best if there were no other implications other than sheer hate. This video helps describe the feud for people who don't understand. (Note: the beginning is just a joke. The rest is a great explanation for the simple minded.)
