Conflicts in R&J

     The obvious conflict is the two families, the Montague's and the Capulet's, their own child has married their enemy's child. when things got really drastic was when Tybalt killed Mercutio and Romeo was angry then killed Tybalt. Prince declared the result of Tybalt's death was to banish Romeo from Verona. This also meant that he had to be separate from his love of his life, Juliet Capulet. We were introduced to the hatred of these families at Capulet’s party in Act 1. Romeo comes uninvited to the party and Tybalt was enraged, “It fits when such a villain is a guest. I’ll not endure him.” (1.5.84-85). This starts the man vs. man conflict between Romeo and Tybalt. An act later it’s the romance between Romeo and Juliet, which Tybalt utterly disliked. He challenged Romeo to a duel and Romeo almost got killed. Instead of Romeo dying his best friend ended up with an injury. While Mercutio is dying  he said, "A plague o' both your houses! They have made worms' meat of me, I have it, and soundly, too. Your houses!" (3.2. 111-113). Romeo and Tybalt fighting and representing  their families had caused Mercutio’s death. Mercutio sensed that Romeo changed for the worse, the fight didn’t do good for him. Romeo couldn't think for a better solution for the fighting between families.  He missed that he wasn’t droven crazy over girls, Mercutio saw his friend change before his death. 

In present time we don't duel out each other when something is wrong, well not the way they do it. Everyone has moral conflict to improve something about themselves. Romance stories are more interesting/ noticeable for a character's controversy between choices. In reality it is at work, home, anywhere; this decision could be based on the better health or educational purposes. About a month ago I had to decide if I wanted to pick this subject in honors or regular, I made a pro's and con's list to help think about the factors that are included with this class. And I couldn't choose what was best for me or my education track.What people usually do is they think of it briefly, go home and sleep on the idea. Then they ask the opinions of their friends to help them decide.
