3. Act 1 Scene 1 Summary We’re in the Streets of Verona
Two Capulet (Juliet’s peeps) men are out in the streets making some jokes.
Then they spot a Montague and made a rude gesture
The Montague man asks if the gesture is intended for him
The Capulet man says he’s just doing it for no reason, but if the Montague takes offense, he’s not mad about it
This causes them to fight

4. Summary continued Benvolio (M) tries to break up the fight.
Tybalt (C)calls him a coward (how can you have your sword out and talk of peace?)
Capulet and Montague happen to walking in the street and notice the fight, they join in
They are stopped by the Prince, who declares anyone who is fighting will now be punished by death.
We then learn that Romeo is sad because Rosaline dumped him to become a nun (aka, Romeo is so lame and got no game, so Rosaline would rather never be with a man than be with Romeo…Burn…).
