CONFLICT

        At one point or another in this play, a character has a type of conflict whether it's with itself, another person, or society. The one that probably pops out to most people the most because it really is the main conflict in the play is the feud between the Capulet's and the Montague's. This can connect to the love between the two "star crossed lovers" because they're each a child of the families meaning they were born enemies. It's hard for their love to be together because of their parents and/or families hatred for one another. It wasn't helping them be together when Romeo killed Tybalt. It made it that much worse.
        I can't relate to this much at all because my family hasn't ever and I hope will never have other family rivals. I feel like that would make you feel like you have power that you don't actually have because if you have an enemy then it lets you feel like you're allowed to do any mean thing you want to them just because your parents wouldn't care. This isn't a good thing at all either. I'm sure it can still happen now a days but not to the point where whenever you see a member of the other family that you're going to have to kill them. That's taking it a little over the top there. This conflict is both external and internal because there's physical battle going on but yet there is also the hatred/love (depending on the family member) that is happening between the different people.
