Conflict in Romeo and Juliet ---l======> <======l--- [those are swords fighting (: ]

        After Tybalt kills Mercutio, that is the last straw for Romeo. Romeo can't going on being nice and refusing to fight. So he gets back at Tybalt by taking his life as Tybalt took his friends life.When the Capulets find out that Tybalt has been killed, Lady Capulet is devastated and she wants Romeo to die as soon as they can find him. She didn't care that Tybalt took a life, all she cared was that she wanted Romeo dead and she wanted him dead then and there. Now Romeo and Juliet's love is really forbidden, there is no way that now they can be together in peace because of what Romeo did. In the paraphrased section above, there are a couple types of the same conflict, person vs. person. The first conflict is Romeo vs. Tybalt, the two are fighting against each other because of the conflict of Tybalt and Mercutio that ended a life. The second conflict is Romeo vs. The Capulets.The Capulets now have total anger towards Romeo because he killed their nephew and now they want his life in return for their loss. This is important because now the chase is on, now the forbidden lovers sneak and try to find ways to meet one another without being seen. This is a big part to the romantic theme, people will do a lot for true love, and it's better to make friends not enemies (:
          In life we all have our problems and conflicts, whether it be a loss of a loved one, a bad grade, parents divorced, moving away, getting in a fight with your gf or bf, losing your best friend, losing your house, and so many more that could be listed off. Everyone and i mean everyone has problems, some just might be smaller or less effective than others. Romeo and Juliet's problem is their love, how it is forbidden and how Romeo is now wanted for death while Juliet is being forced into a marriage. In my life I have had person vs. person conflict so many times. With friends, family members, siblings you name it. My conflicts have never involved death and swords or anything like that but some have ended in fun ways. One time I was sitting in a chair wearing one of my younger sister's socks on. She was freaking out about it, telling me to take it off. I told her to relax and to calm down and that it was fine. That it was just a sock and it wasn't like she needed it for anything special. She kept pestering me and I just laughed and ignored her. She started provoking me and saying that she would take it off if I didn't take it off she would. I asked her playfully if she wanted to go and she said yes. So I stood up and so did she. She came forward (through out all of this, my mom is laughing) and i took her arms, wrapped them around her so she couldn't move, took her legs out from under her and sat on her(: She was laughing so hard because she couldn't move but overall I won.
Everyday I have conflict in my life, if it is big or small it doesn't matter, it is there. In my life, conflict just means another bump in my road that I have to over come and push my way through. People deal with conflict in all different ways. Some people deal with it in violence, some in fun ways (like I did), some in hurting themselves, and some don't deal with it at all. they just ignore them and try to work around the conflict.
