Hyperlinked.
- Vendettas
Let's start the family feud! At the end of Europe's Middle Ages, vendettas between rival Italian families, such as the one in Romeo and Juliet, were not uncommon. This webpage explains the nature of these blood feuds, how they escalated, and what the authorities did to contain them. Illustrated.
- Shakespeare and Hillbillies – Loving the Enemy
Read one college student's essay comparing the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with the infamous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys in 19th century America. The author discusses several relevant similarities between the fictional and real-life rivalries, including the two pairs of lovers whose individual desires were overwhelmed by factional hatred. A very interesting and worthwhile piece.
