Question

Read the following selection from Act III of Romeo and Juliet. What conflict does the line in bold most closely represent?

JULIET
O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!
Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despised substance of divinest show!
Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,
A damned saint, an honourable villain! <- BOLD
O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter

Answer 1

So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!

Man vs. Man
Man vs. Self
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. Society

Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

Well, I know I've had this question 3 times before and got it wrong every time, but I can't remember which 3 answers were wrong.

Answer 4

Well, what do you think?

Man vs. Man means against another person
Man vs. Self means against his or herself
Man vs. Nature means against nature
Man vs. Society is against people

Answer 5

If this gives a hint, at leas to what iGreen is saying - Juliet is speaking about Romeo.

Answer 6

I wanted to say Man vs. Self or Man vs. Man
But I'm not sure which.

Answer 7

Nice job eliminating the rest..but I don't think Juliet is talking to herself :P

Answer 8

So that would eliminate Man vs. Self, correct?

Answer 9

Yep

Answer 10

Mm, I think she was? It was, or rather rambling on about Romeo killing Tybalt to the Nurse.

Answer 11

I was pretty sure it was Man vs. Man, but now I'm not too sure.

Answer 12

Disregard me, I'm just tossing an idea out there from my memory. This was a few years ago for me.

Answer 13

Oops, I meant to say about* not "to"

Answer 14

I think Man vs. Man is correct..I don't see what else it might be.

Answer 15

Thanks, you two.
I may have some more questions about this soon, lol. I struggle a bit with this unit.
