Romeo And Juliet Internal Conflict

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.

Throughout Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, an abundance of internal conflict weaves through the plot line of the story. For example, Romeo travels to Friar Lawrence’s cell to pronounce his love for Juliet, a Montague. In addition, he asks the Friar to marry them. Friar Lawrence, skeptical, weighs the consequences in his head because the decision could change the fate of everyone in Verona. He expresses to Romeo that “They stumble who run fast” (2.3.101), however he agrees to perform the ceremony “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn [their] households' rancor to pure love” (2.3.98-99). In these lines, the Friar has internal conflict for he does not want the situation to go awry. Shakespeare uses this unsureness

Romeo and Juliet is conflict and love. Conflict and love are both shown through characterization in all of the characters. In the beginning, we see Juliet 's character as a little young child who obeys her family duties. When she meets, Romeo, her character is taken on a rollercoaster of emotions.

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.

In stanza 12, she tells us that he has “bit her pretty red heart in two.” Next, she states that he died when she was ten, and when she was twenty years old, she attempted suicide - “…I tried to die, to get back back back to you.” In stanza 13 is where she starts talking about her husband. She says that instead of dying, her friends “stuck her together with glue,” and since she could not die to get back to her father, she would marry someone who was similar.

Throughout Romeo and Juliet the theme of conflict is conveyed in many forms, mostly through physical violence; reflected in the era of the Renaissance where there was political turmoil and many European nations were at war. Shakespeare presents the theme in other forms as well; family versus family, sacred versus profane, parent versus child and language versus inner conflict. Conflict is a key in the structure of the play; it is highlighted in the beginning, middle and end. As an audience we are constantly being reminded of conflict which is reflected within the era the play was written in. The Renaissance was the 'rebirth ' of classical learning and was also the time when Science challenged many traditional Christian beliefs which resulted in Catholics fighting Protestants; the Gunpowder plot and the Spanish Armada. Shakespeare chose to dramatise conflict as it was the context in which he was writing plays. It is therefore arguable that this period was characterised by irreconcilable opposites in politics, religion and art. Nothing in the world can exist without its opposite- just as love cannot exist without hate, violence cannot exist without peace.

According to Alan Durband, many versions of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet all relate to Shakespeare's understanding of early life in Verona. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet, because he is romantically inclined. The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.

My grandfather, a Vietnam soldier, and my grandmother, a Vietnam civilian, met and fell in love in the midst of the Vietnam War. While on opposing sides, they attempted to love in a time filled with violence and uncertainty in the world. Similarly, Romeo and Juliet chose to love instead of hate. They fell in love regardless of the conflict between their two families. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet took risks and neglected the wishes of those around them in order to be with each other.
