Newspaper Article Between Romeo And Juliet

This week we witnessed the unpredicted finale to an ancient family feud. Verona has long been divided into the Montagues, the Capulets, their supporters, and those who would rather not have their lives interrupted by a brawl every time somebody sneezed in the wrong direction. For months the tension had been mounting, barely controlled by the Prince's feeble orders, and something had to give.
Enter Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Perhaps they could have brought peace to Verona without all the bloodshed were they not so ill advised. As it were these young lovers set into action events much larger than themselves. Aside from the lovers four other people were killed. Mercutio, Tybalt, Lady Montague and Paris were all victims of an infectious hatred beyond their control. They shall be missed for years to come. However, many others have suffered over the course of this past week.
Or about having their children exposed to violence and death? Too many, and most only involved by misfortune of living in Verona.
This is a failure on the Prince's part. If he had started at the root of the problem (the heads of houses) he could have ended the enmity without the loss.
Now that the feud is over the path is unclear. I am hopeful that compensation will be offered as apology to the general public, but I fear Lord Capulet and Montague would rather erect golden statues of their children than repair the damage their rivalry has
