Act One - Scene 1 - A Public Square in Verona
Why is love so cruel? Rosaline, my love, where did I go wrong? Your beauty is greater than all others'.
Please move on Romeo, I'll prove to you that there are others more beautiful than her or die trying to.
At the start of Scene 1, Gregory and Sampson, two Capulet servants, come across Abram and Balthazar, two Montague servants, and begin to fight. Benvolio, a relative of the Montagues, attempts to break up the fight.
Following the fight between the servants, Prince Escalus announces to the city of Verona that anyone seen fighting in the streets will receive a severe punishment.
A grieving Romeo enters the scene, distraught over being denied by his love, Rosaline. As Romeo exclaims his opinions on love, Benvolio tries to comfort him. He says that he will show Romeo more beautiful women, or die trying to prove his point.
