Conflict

One of the types of conflict in Romeo and Juliet is interpersonal conflict, or the conflict in one's self. It isn't the conflict of one versus another, and isn't a physical battle either. Its completely in the mind, and is also an emotional battle. After the deadly sword battle in the streets of Verona where a few main characters were killed, Romeo was banished from the city. He and his wife, Juliet, both have to deal with their personal emotions on the case. Its very hard for them, because they have to deal with being seperated after just getting married. Not only that, but they have to deal with the death of family and friends. Its a very hard time for them both, and it tears them apart on the inside. Shakespeare uses it to create drama and suspense, and maybe some of the people who read it or watch the play will feel sympathetic if they developed a personal fondness for the characters.
      Just like Romeo and Juliet both struggle with interpersonal conflict, we in real life do too. Everyone deals with interpersonal conflict at least once in their life. These mind battles can come from any hardship or occurance. Its almost worse of a fight than a physical war sometimes. For example, take the death of a loved one. This will definitely cause strife to someone. But, what is worse is if the loved one was killed by another person. This not only creates grief for the person, but also creates an anger towards the killer, putting even more baggage on the person they have to carry for the rest of their life. As you can see, interpersonal conflict is a very serious struggle and can cause much pain to the person or people it is involving.
