Conflict in Romeo and Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet, there are many different conflicts. In act four, Juliet wants to escape from her life and get away from having to marry Paris by killing herself, but Friar Lawrence gives her a potion to make it seem like she is dead instead. This could be a couple different types of conflict; Juliet and Paris, Juliet and Capulet, and even her marriage against her parent's wishes. So this conflict is person vs. person as well as person vs. society. This conflict throughout the book develops a theme of trying to escape and get away from something. It is important because without it, major events and especially the ending of the book would never even happen. It develops themes by making the characters make hasty decisions that affect their life and the whole book.

This type of conflict is present in many ways in our society. Sometimes I just want to leave my house and get away from my parents, I want to leave and go to college, but I'm stuck here, and my parents still tell me what to do since I am not an adult and I want to escape their authority. Other people could want to escape anything; a bad situation, a job, or homework. The conflict is significant because without it, no one would strive for things they want, find out what they like, and be who they want to be. I don't really have a lot of conflict, but when I think of conflict, I mainly think of my brother and stressful things dealing with school. The way I deal with conflict, is to not make it worse, stay calm, get help if I need it, do my best to fix it, and move on if there is nothing else I can do. It kind of depends on the conflict, but generally, I do the best I can to make it go away and I think most people do that to because nobody really likes conflict. Well, I guess crazy terrorists and bullies do, but I think normal people try and have as much peace in there life as they can get, I know I do.

Romeo and Juliet: It's Everywhere!

Romeo and Juliet has definitely influenced many things in our society. A part of a movie that relates to Romeo and Juliet could be Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. In this one, Anakin becomes Darth Vader and Padme dies. In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Padme and Anakin secretly get married because he is supposed to be focusing on his Jedi training and she is older than him; so they hide it, like Romeo and Juliet do. Also, in the third one, Anakin turns evil and is dead to her. Obi-Wan also fights him and leaves him to die and Padme probably thinks he is dead. When Padme is in childbirth, she doesn't have the will to live so she loses her strength and lets herself die in childbirth.
