One very important conflict in this play is the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. In this duel, Tybalt kills Mercutio, angering Romeo, who gets revenge by killing Tybalt. Prince then banishes Romeo from Verona. This person v. person conflict is important because it deepens the hatred between the two families, kills off two characters, and forces Romeo and Juliet to develop to cope with Romeo's banishment.
This scenario doesn’t really happen in these times. The type of conflict, however, happens all the time. Person v. person conflict is common in any society, and it happens everywhere, on all levels. It can range from a simple verbal disagreement to a cold-blooded massacre. And they are too numerous to count.
Great post! I definitely agree duels don't happen so much these days! Good job!
