It is a little known fact that like modern day directors cuts of films there
is an authors edit of Romeo & Juliet. In this edit the reason for the feud
is clearly explained as Lady Capulet had slept with Lord Montague shortly
after her marraige to Lord Capulet. The consequence of this liason meant
that Romeo and Juliet were in actual fact half brother and sister.
Hence the hatred for Lord Montague  by Lord Capulet and the attempts to stop
Romeo and Juliet from seeing one another.

But due to censorship at that time, this aspect of the play had to be
removed. Plus the fact that there would have been an extra 134 pages of
dialogue, given the fact that Shakesperean plays are fairly long as it is
and the untimely demise of the author, it was therefore never put back in.

This has absolutely nothing to do with PBM but it does answer the previous
responses quote

"I'm sure they would have found some other excuse to fight had they had the
same name."

The fact is they indeed have the same name, and yet still fought.

ps. for those of you who haven't twigged yet - this is a joke, I can imagine
Monty Python doing a sketch of this you know.
