The Crips and Bloods
The ongoing feud between the notorious Crips and Bloods is similar to the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets in that there is no doctrinal or principal at issue between the groups. Both gangs have been indoctrinating their members with hatred of the other group as a fundamental defining value of their group, but without any specific reason to justify the hatred in the first place. Like many other conflicts, the mutual hatred and antagonism in continually fueled by instances of violence and deliberate insult that each believes it must avenge to save face and reputation.

If anything, the Crips and Blood actually subscribe to identical values and norms such as their focus on illegal activities like prostitution, drug sales, and external displays of apparent wealth and power in the community. Nevertheless, the socialization process of new gang members ensures that members of both groups continue to detest one another. That is not substantially different from the way that multi-generational family feuds continue long beyond the lives of the first generation to harbor those sentiments. It is also quite similar to many of the ongoing sources of resentment between different religions whose history often recount the atrocities committed by one another over many centuries while largely discounting their own similar records.

Sampson proclaims, "A dog of the house of Montague moves me," declaring any person from the Montague family has the power to make him angry (I.i.7). The conflict between the two houses is reason why Romeo and Juliet are met with such obstacles to be together, and contributes to their need to take extreme measures, i.e. fake their death and ultimately commit suicide, to escape them. Romeo and Juliet
Tragedy & Comedy One popular method of distinguishing between a comedy and a tragedy has always been by virtue of whether a play or film has a happy or tragic ending. Today, however, it is largely considered that a tragedy can be comic in parts, and need not necessarily result in an unhappy ending or death (Thorndike, p.2-3) Similarly, although comedies are widely defined as humorous entertainment, evoking a great deal
