Conflict in Romeo and Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet there are many types of conflict. One example of conflict is internal/personal conflict. This specific conflict is exemplified when Juliet is deciding who she loves and is sad for after Tybalt's death. "My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain, And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband." (3.2.115) This dialogue is showing Juliet's angst about Tybalt's death. She loves Romeo, but he killed Tybalt who was her cousin. This conflict is important to central themes of the entire play because it is a smaller battle in the huge fight between the Capulets and the Montegues. The conflict that Juliet has with her self is showing that he character is innocent and very unsure about what to think. This is important conflict in the play because Juliet keeps changing her mind about Romeo or Tybalt, Tybalt or Romeo. Throughout the whole play, characters change their minds (Romeo from Rosaline to Juliet; Friar Lawrence against the marriage of Romeo and Juliet to performing the ceremony, etc.) and so this little conflict shows how many other characters do it also.
      In my life I find that I do think things through a lot. I will have conversations in my head, not out loud like Juliet in the play, but I will think things through the way Juliet did. I think that I do argue with myself the way Juliet does. Everyone in society talks to themselves-not like they are saying "oh hello", "how are you?" aloud like that, but they will talk things out. I reason things out in my head. When I'm making an important decision or just thinking about what I need to do for the rest of the day I have a thought process. I'm not necessarily arguing and having a conflict with myself. In society everyone talks to themselves to make easy day to day decisions to figure out little things, or sometimes bigger more important things. This isn't really conflict for me, but if I am torn about something I will just try to relax and maybe make a list to get all my thoughts out. If I have a conflict with another person, though, I try to relax also and do what I can to be calm when I am having that conflict.

Romeo and Juliet: It's Everywhere!

My reference to Romeo and Juliet is in the Disney movie version of Robin Hood. I will admit that it isn't excactly like Romeo and Juliet, but some of the themes and ideas are similar.  In Romeo and Juliet they are both very young, and in Robin Hood, Robin Hood and Maid Marian are young and their romance started when they were kids. Both couples are very much in love and they come from places where they shouldn't be together. Maid Marian is royalty, and Robin Hood (though good in his actions) is considered a theif. The Montagues and Capulets are enemies also. Robin Hood goes to great heights to get Maid Marian's attention, even risking his life for her at the Archery competition. Romeo does the same for Juliet when he sneaks by her house to talk her. Romeo and Juliet is a timeless book, and the ideas and themes in it are ones that can be and are used many times over, and will continue to be.
