Romeo’s comment that the brawl had more to do with love than with hate seems strange.  What could a fight between the Montagues and the rival Capulet clan have to do with love?  Well, in Shakespeare’s day the expression “to do” was not only a verb but also a noun (“ado” in modern English) and was used to refer to a hostile encounter.  However, it was also used to refer to a sexual one. Is Romeo saying that the relationship between the two feuding families involves these two contradictory emotions, love and hate? We’ll have to wait and see.
