**ALEXANDER** You most lying hagseed! You robber. You stole Margett from through Thine crafty ways.

**DANIEL** //(aside to Alexander)// --These sentences art for Ear-kissing arguments. Let’s retire Ere blood is shed.

**ALEXANDER** //(aside to Daniel)// ---Hie, if thou would to leave a Coward rather than defending thy pride And honor.

**LEONARDO** You dare call me a liar, A robber. If thou apologize now, I might perchance forgive thee.

**ALEXANDER** -You fiend, I Wilt never apologize to thee. I Spoke soothly.

**LEONARDO** Thou flap-mouthed Capulet! Thou Cannot stand that thou lost the game. I hold Margrett's fair hand, and not thee.

**ALEXANDER** You ill-nurtured liar! Talkers are naught Doers. Hour by hour, you will rot And rot. //[Draws]// Will you walk?

**LEONARDO** Curse thy house. We will remember what thee did.

//Leonardo dies// **MONTAGUE** We art to revenge Leonardo’s death.

**ALEXANDER** So be it.

//Exeunt// all

Wutheringheights1 -This is an awesome idea and the argument between the two families is incredible, but i was confused about who the characters were. Maybe you could explain each in prologue or some such thing? Also maybe a little more description of how Leo stole Alex's girl. You also may want to add a piece about who Margrett loves and why Leo and Alex hate each other already? But all in all awesome!!

Hi Wutheringheights1, Thank you for your fantastic feedback. I think I might make a short prologue to introduce my characters, too. Bye, Janeeyre1

The scene was very well written and the idea was very interesting. I was confused about who Daniel was, though. There were also a few missing periods here and there, but that's a minor mistake. I liked your choice of words too, for example, when you Alexander said, "You most lying hagseed!" Overall, the scene was great! -tokillamockingbrid

Dear tokillamockingbird, Thanks for the amazing comment about my piece. I'm going to tidy up my missing periods. Your classmate, Janeeyre1

I loved the story, but I was confused about how they feel about each other. Maybe you could explain that a little more. Also, you may want to have shorter phrases and turn it into more lines if you were trying to have it like the play. This is a great piece and I look forward to your final draft. -Tuckeverlasting

To Tuckeverlasting, Thank you for the awesome review. I'll try to make my character's emotions clearer. From, Janeeyre1
