Professional writers only but information that is relevant or important to their stories. Each detail that is included is included for a very specific reason. He is making a very bold statement by purposely not letting his reader know why these two families are feuding. He wants people to make the realization that some people feud for an infinite numbers of years without even having a reason, just because their ancestors do it. Many other stories have the same set up, the characters do something no one would ever think of doing (even though actual people still do it today) with no reason of doing such a thing.

Shakespeare was so smart, and no doubtedly aggrivated by the absurdity around him.. people fight and argue -- hurt other people over stupid, and selfish reasons...isn't it nice to see how far we HAVEN'T come.. Any of us could still be the Montagues or Capulets. Its just rediculous, that his stories will always be timeless and that we'll always be this arguementative.

he simply wanted to tell us the tragic love story of R&J. the quarrel served as background to the main story not its core concern.
I am sure you've told stories about some adventure like what happened when you went to shopping, swimming, or visiting another town/city. You sure select slices of your story and describe them in detail. You dont include extraneous details eg what happened before or after you went shopping. That's what shakespeare did, selected only slices that contribute to his main story.
good luck

For the same reason that he does not go into depth behind iago's motivation in othello.
in the human experience there is never any good reason. rarely when you trace a feud back was it really worth all the trouble and hate. i read shakespeare as commenting on this by not giving reasons and motivations/
what ia good reason to start a family feud that lasts generations? there is none.

They quarrel was between the fathers and was probably was over something stupid. He also probably didn't want it to take too much away from the core of R & J's story.

These types of quarrels were all over medieval and renaissance Italy. It was the business of the day and it wouldn't have mattered.

Possibly to show that all such quarrels between people based on prejudice are rather unexplainable. Men are just that way.

Well, I'm not an expert, but I think that he didn't explain it because if he did that would have been another focus of the story. And I believe that there is no point in doing so.

it truly is a tough one. i could ought to bypass with the Capulets as a results of fact their society acceptance is extra suitable and the Monagues are extra of a mob bunch. on the different hand, the Capulets are snobs.

The past wasn't the main theme of the story. Your supposed to be concentrating on the main characters and what happens to them.
