Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, tells the tale of two young lovers whose lives end in great tragedy. What makes their story so tragic is that despite their love for one another, their families are mortal enemies. Conflict is a central ingredient in Romeo and Juliet's sad fate. Although their love for each other is strong, it cannot overcome the deluge of conflict that surrounds them. Ultimately they are defeated by the conflicts of person vs person, person vs self, and person vs society.

Firstly, they clearly and effectively went against their parents’ will. The story basically starts when Romeo goes to a party at his Father’s enemies’ house. He then proceeds to fall in love with his family’s mortal enemy’s daughter. Juliet does the same, communicating with someone who she should hate more than anything. This is already substantial evidence that they are indeed rebellious.

Romeo and Juliet is a story based on conflict. The conflict in the story is Capulet against Montague. From ancient times, the two families have held grudges against each other. As the book states. “Two households, alike in dignity...from ancient grudge break to new mutiny. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean (1.Prologue.1-4).” The grudge between the two families has led to fighting and even death.

There are three examples of conflict in Act I of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. There is man vs. man, man vs. self, and man vs. society. In the opening scene of Act I, the Montagues and the Capulets get into a fight in the streets, and that is an example of man vs. man. Then Romeo is found walking by himself trying to figure out his unrequited love situation. That was man vs. self. Man vs. society is the fued between the Montagues and the Capulets and that Romeo wasn't allowed to go to Juliet's party. That is three examples of conflict.

The want for revenge leads many of the characters in Romeo and Juliet into murderous acts which eventually leads to severe punishments and a further need for revenge. The everlasting revenge in Romeo and Juliet is first born from ancient grudge between the Capulets and the Montagues, which is ultimately settled with the tragic, abrupt unifying factor of both Romeo and Juliet's death. Several instances within the interactions of the characters suggests that vengeance is driving force of the plot, and that consequently, there must ultimately be an end to the feuding and recoil, due to the fact that there must be a resolution after the thrilling climax..

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. Both Romeo and Juliet are young and sprightly teenagers, Romeo being 15-16 and Juliet with the age of 13. They are teens that make impulsive decisions without thinking about the consequences.

​Passion. Something that many think they have, when in reality do not. Best described as an incontrollable emotion, passion is often seen as taking a huge role in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Although characters show the qualities associated with being passionate, their true attitudes can be summed up by a different word: obsessive. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare develops the idea that trying to force passion can lead to obsession. In other words, when people deceive themselves into thinking they have passion, they can become obsessive. This is shown repeatedly in Romeo’s character. First through his immediate change of love from Rosaline to Juliet; secondly when he tries to kill

All teenagers have stupid ideas, especially in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In the play, two star crossed lovers meet, but there is a long standing family feud between the two. Romeo and Juliet eventually meet and fall in love despite the families hating each other. Fate and folly are major contributing factors, but it is feud that is most to blame for the star crossed lovers death.

Teenagers often get blamed for being impulsive but in actuality they’re not the only ones. Adults can be just as impulsive and sometimes more. In Romeo and Juliet, even though the adults make irrational and impulsive decisions, Romeo and Juliet are always the ones that are blamed for being impulsive. Hardly anyone stops to think about how impulsive the adults are, or where Romeo and Juliet get their impulsive instincts. Romeo and Juliet weren’t the only impulsive characters in the play; the impulsivity of characters like The Prince, Lord Capulet, and The Friar play a big role in the play.

When someone asks what you think about teenagers, what pops into your head? Among the millions of answers between people, some would say they get themselves into trouble, a lot. It’s a stereotypical answer because, of course not adolescents do. But, quite a few let their impulsive side take over and end up in a “not so good” situation. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a play set in Verona, where two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, remain in a feud.

Romeo and Juliet have got to be the some of most immature teenagers to exist. Even if they are fictional characters. In the not so much love story, “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespeare, They never managed to improve with maturity, just becoming more immature once they fell in love with each other. If the two teenagers threatening and actually killing themselves over one’s separation or death of the other doesn’t prove that, then there’s not much else that would. Suicide is just one of many ways they were immature and didn’t get any mature throughout the story.

In Elizabethan times, rebellion was considered a sinful act amid the hierarchal order. Within families, there was also a chain of hierarchy: men were considered more powerful than women, and children were expected to follow instructions (much like today). Juliet’s intentions to rebel against her parents are clearly evident in the soliloquy: ‘O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?/Deny thy father and refuse thy name./ Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love/

As the plot of Romeo and Juliet develops, it's clear that the tension between the families will only escalate further because the familes are unable to reconcile. The play is set in a patriarchal society where men want to preserve their family's honour through pride. They are ony capable of conforming to the attitudes of the time. This example is show in Act 3, Scene 1 on page 71 where Mercutio taunts Tybalt, "Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?" This is an exmaple of why Romeo's own haughty pride leads him to revenge in Mercutio's death. If Rome had fed the scene and Tybalt's abscence, many lives would have been saved. This is also shown similar in the confrontation between Juliet and her father, "You disobedient wretch! Get me a Thursday
