Answer:
The main factor responsible for the feud between the Montagues and Capulets is tribal bonding in opposition to another group/tribe.
Explanation:
The action in the play “Romeo and Juliet” never gives any explicit idea about the real reason of the feud. We just know that the feud is longstanding. However we can infer from the situation that feud is not for any fear or greed, but it is only because of tribal pride, each group has about themselves. They also want to keep the feud alive only because it has been done so by their tribal (families’) elders and grand elders. According to them, putting an end to this will weaken their internal group binding and their association with their grandfathers.
