Romeo And Juliet Conflict Essay

Have you ever wondered how such strong feelings between two people can lead to both of their downfalls? The sense of passion is a hypnotizer to the brain, clouding the person’s thoughts with desire for the other person. Romeo, a teenage boy from a family named Montague, instantly falls for a teenage girl named Juliet, who is a Capulet. Capulets and Montagues are honored families with rivalry for each other. In his play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses irony and conflict to convey that passion makes people lose their rationality.

When a person is filled with passion, all their mind thinks about is their significant other, more than other things. So with that, Romeo and Juliet stole each other's attention, along with wooing each other right

The nurse turns down Juliet’s fantasy of a happy marriage with Romeo into awful news of him. Aware of the two desires for each other, the nurse sarcastically meant, “You have so much faith in what is going to happen to him terribly”. Her commentary shows situational irony, stating what is really going on in the outside world to Juliet, who has been daydreaming about Romeo in her room all this time. Her head is in the fantasy world, rather than the real world. Besides, although Romeo has been exiled, he still wanted to see Juliet one last time, even when she is believed to be dead. However, she is unconscious from drinking a potion, given by a priest, Friar Lawrence, that causes deep sleepiness.

After listening to what the nurse is speaking about Romeo being exiled and Paris being better off being the best choice to marry, Juliet then denies the offer quickly. Plus, she made a plan to go to Friar’s cell to clarify the wedding with Romeo, and if the plan does not work out, she says, “myself…have the power to die” (III.v. 205-240). Juliet is faced with the problem of her husband being exiled and being told to marry a man she dreads the most. She is shocked and cannot accept Paris as a husband. All she can think about is seeing Romeo right away to talk to him. If that does not somehow work out, she is willing to kill herself. So much drive for Romeo, makes her only think about what is going to happen between the both of them. However what she said was impulsive, not thinking of what she needed to consider or do in the best moment of his exile. After all, Juliet does not mean to kill herself in the meantime, it was out of a response of rush. On the other hand, Romeo’s perception of love affects his decision on it. Before fixating on Juliet, he was heartbroken over a girl, named Rosaline, who did not reciprocate back to what he wanted, he then feels as if love has betrayed him out in the cold. Feeling left out by love, Romeo fills his void by a relationship with Juliet, to feel affection again. Friar reads Romeo’s behavior and cautions, “Young men’s love then lies not truly in
