Journey #3

I think the main reason there is a conflict between the houses of Motegue and Capulet is because of religion. Religion would be a possibill reason because the greater religion would gain more power by having more followers. THis would cause the less powerful religion to become angered, causing a conflict between the two existing families. Montague and Capulet.
