Conflict Between Romeo And Juliet

Decent Essays
Shakespeare's play explores the close bonded family feud between two different families and the negative responses it attracts. In Romeo and Juliet the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is the catalyst for all conflict between Romeo and Juliet. The pair are born from "fatal loins", meaning the conflict between the two families has a greater power over their love. It is forbidden. The personification gives the allusion that the "ill-fate" conflict exists in more ways than just hate. The theme of conflict is relevant to me because familial conflict is a negative reaction I have, and will, continue to experience as long as I am connected with my family. The conflict between the Capulets and Montagues is foreshadowed in the prologue,

    The central theme of this text is the importance of human intimacy. When the audience is first introduced to Baron de Coutelier, he is described as a man with “only one insatiable passion, love of sport” (Maupassant 856). As a result of this obsession, he spends every single day of his life outside hunting both birds and animals in the woods, rather than socializing with others. Additionally, it was explained that he “spoke of nothing but shooting and hunting, he (even) dreamed of it” (Maupassant 856). This intense dedication to sport that has segregated Baron de Coutelier from the outside world has ultimately begun to deteriorate him both mentally and physically, which Maupassant demonstrates multiple times throughout the story.…

    Shakespeare shapes ideas about conflict through the ever present nature of the feud. All characters in Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” find themselves effected by the conflict, especially Romeo and Juliet. Act 1 Scene 5 is very much a scene about love as it is the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time and share their first kiss. However, Shakespeare reminds the audience of the feud and how it will impact Romeo and Juliet's love by adding moments of conflict into the scene. This conflict is evident in the line spoken by Tybalt to Capulet “This, by his voice, should be a Montague/ Fetch me my rapier, boy ....…

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…
