Another reason why Shakespeare uses conflict in the play is so that the audience are able to get attached to it and watch the conflict grow.

As the book states. “Two households, alike in dignity...from ancient grudge break to new mutiny.

In this essay I will address how conflict is successfully used in Act 1 Scene 1 to prepare the audience for the rest of the play. It will firstly show how Shakespeare uses physical conflict between the two feuding families. Secondly I will demonstrate the idea that Shakespeare introduces emotional conflict through the character of Romeo, and his outpourings of love for Rosaline. Finally I will show that the character of Romeo demonstrates both physical or external conflict and emotional or internal conflict. The purpose of the prologue is to clearly outline the plot of the whole play in fourteen lines and it also allows the audience to be settled before the actual play

‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare incorporates the theme of conflict through many different characters and situations.
