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.

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. Juliet 's character is the source of conflict and we see this through her developing actions. Romeo creates Juliet into this powerful young women. Romeo is so important to Juliet that she does not want to loose him. Conflict begins to arise when things actually take off. Once they are together on the balcony, is when they both realize that they are meant for each other. That true love is true and that they are destined for the stars. True love is

In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations in Romeo and Juliet through various language techniques and structure. Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers. Both Romeo and Juliet were from feuding families that would not approve of their marriage. In the play they are presented with many difficult circumstances. The play was set in the Elizabethan era; there was a significant change in religion, family and politics. Attitudes and key scenes highlight the theme of love in difficult circumstances and prepare the audience for Romeo and Juliet’s suicides at the end of the play. In this essay I will be exploring the ways Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations.

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.

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.

Romeo and Juliet was a classic romance novel about passion, love and tragedy, written and first acted in 1595. 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.

In this scene of the play, Juliet is met with the internal struggle of whether or not she will drink the vial Friar Laurence has given her as part of the plan. In the song the lyrics introduce with how “Some people watch, some people pray” “some people hope, some people pray.” I believe this is Juliet's internal conflict on how she is praying for a miracle for people to watch. The next line that the play reflects is where it says “Cause even heroes get the blues or any misery you choose we like to use and we were born to lose”. The plays reflects on how Juliet who is a main character or well Heroine of the story but despite that she stills feels sad and the misery she chooses is to fake

Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet between 1594­ 1595, a play about love, courtship and marriage that ended in tragedy.

In the short story Romeo and Juliet; from the play by William Shakespeare; adapted by Sunita Apte. Romeo goes through many trials just to have Juliet by his side.

If you live in the town of Verona, and haven’t heard about the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets, you probably live in a cave. These two families have been in a seemingly constant brawl for decades and have shown zero signs of slowing down anytime soon. One obvious question that should be clear still remains: Why are the families fighting?

Love is defined as a strong feeling of affection for someone or something, but I think that merely scrapes the surface of what love really means, as love is often affected by conflict. The play, Romeo and Juliet, written by Shakespeare, reinforces to me the true meaning of love through the fact that Romeo and Juliet stay by each other and love one another throughout the conflicts of the play. Shakespeare is able to transcend time and place in order to portray the theme of conflict, as the devastating effects of conflict are still applicable to the world around me. The two “ill-fated” “star cross’d lovers” fall in love at first sight and although they are from feuding families, they choose to pursue their relationship. Their young and forbidden

Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Going Beyond the TextWilliam Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, covers the forbidden love between the main characters, Romeo and Juliet, which was introduced at the end of Act One. Along with this major external conflict, there are many other internal and external conflicts which move the plot forward. One of these conflicts is Romeo’s internal struggle with forgetting the love of his life, Rosaline. In order to accomplish this, he attends a Capulet party. There, he is the subject of the external conflict between Lord Capulet and Tybalt.

Anyone who has read Shakespeare has seen the love, fights, consequences, and deaths before. The biggest fight in Romeo and Juliet is the fight between Romeo and Mercutio against Tybalt. Although Romeo has a drive for killing Tybalt every irrational action has consequences. In fact, Romeo gave us many reasons to believe his decisions were foolish. The first time we see this occur was when Mercutio told Romeo he was hurt. Romeo dealt with his bleeding friend poorly by saying “Courage man. The hurt cannot be much” (Act 3 Scene 1 line 63) Romeo does not pay much attention to Mercutio to realize his severity of his injury or even to say one last goodbye to his loyal friend. Although Romeo was blinded by emotion and was overwhelmed. Romeo could have

It can bring blood or death. It can pull you down or build you up. It has the power to change you or the people around you. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, it can even be seen as a life lesson for the two families. The competition that brewed between the Montagues and the Capulets had an enormous impact not only on the town but two true-lovers. One theme that Shakespeare invented in his tragedy Romeo and Juliet is that competition influences the people around you.
