In “The Wife’s Lament,” the wife assumes her husband is now <u>melancholy, as she is. </u>
“The Wife's Lament” is an elegy in which a wife laments over her life in exile away from her husband, friends, and family. The Kingsmen plotted against the wife and the husband which led to their separation. The wife was exiled and in her exile, she laments her separation from her husband whom she loved compassionately. She is regarded as dead by her husband and her tribe. The wife laments over her fortune and considers death as the only medium which will separate her from her husband. She wishes that after her death her husband would feel sorrow and grief. She wants him to remember all the good times and moments that they spent together.
What really causes the fight is the fact that the Montagues and Capulets hate each other. They hate each other so much that even their servants hate one another. It is these servants who are the immediate cause of the fight. Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) are walking along when some Montague servant come out.
