VERONA TIMES
FATAL BRAWL
IN THE STREETS OF VERONA
A fatal brawl broke out yesterday
morning, resulting in the premature
deaths of two young men under 20 years
old. The events seem to confirm our
Monday, October 30, 1597
previous reports about young Romeo
Montague being in love with Juliet
Capulet. Two days after the ball that
was given at the Capulets', Tybalt, of the
Capulet clan, went to see young men of
the Montague clan, looking for Romeo.
Romeo was absent when the fight
started. Voices escalated between the
Montague and Capulet men. Minutes
later, swords were drawn as Romeo was
running to the scene. Witnesses said
that Tybalt had killed young Mercutio,
as Romeo was trying to stop the fight.
Mercutio's last words were: "A plague
o' both your houses!" Mad with rage,
Romeo took revenge and killed Tybalt.
Romeo is nowhere to be found. It seems
he has fled the city of Verona. The Prince
and his officers are actively looking for
him.
Mr and Mrs Capulet have advanced the
wedding of their daughter Juliet to Count
Paris from next Thursday to Wednesday,
in an attempt to comfort her.
