The feud between the two families sent many events into motion such as when Mercutio challenges Tybalt by saying, “O calm dishonourable, vile submission!/ Alla stoccata carries it away. (draws his sword)/ Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?” (3.1. 70-71).

Furthermore, if the feud between the families didn't exist, Juliet wouldn't have been forced “ To go with Paris to Saint Peter's Church,/ Or [he] will drag thee on a hurdle thither,” (3.5. 154-155). Without the feud, Juliet's parents would have known about her marriage with Romeo and would not have forced her to marry Paris. Since her parents were not informed of her first marriage, she was forced to marry again, which made Juliet go to the Friar to get the potion which gradually led to both Juliet and Romeo's death. All things considered, the couples death would have been prevented if the two families did not have such a burning hatred for one
