conflict in romeo and juliet

      One type of conflict used frequently is the interpersonal conflicts, such as the one that rages inside Juliet's brain as she determines which is a greater tragedy, the death of Tybalt or the banishment of Romeo. As shown as Juliet says: "Is Romeo slaughtered, and is Tybalt dead? My dear loved cousin, and my dearer lord?" (3.3.65). The conflict develops the readers idea of what is going on inside Juliet's head and lets the reader empathize more with the Capulets instead of just the Montagues.
      Interpersonal conflict is a big part of society and the lives we live today, for example a would-be axe murderer could not do the thing that he wishes to do, due to the conflict inside his head about whether or not it will a good thing or not. Interpersonal conflict is dealt with in several for example a person's conflict could be affecting their mood in a negative way so we just stick him full of happy pills and suddenly the conflict is resolved for the better. I personally just try to avoid these types of conflicts and just stay on the straight and narrow.
