Question

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

Answer 1

PRINCE
Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio;
Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?

MONTAGUE
Not Romeo, prince, he was Mercutio's friend;
His fault concludes but what the law should end,
The life of Tybalt.

PRINCE
And for that offence
Immediately we do exile him hence:
I have an interest in your hate's proceeding,
My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding;
But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine
That you shall all repent the loss of mine:
I will be deaf to pleading and excuses;
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses:
Therefore use none: let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.
Bear hence this body and attend our will:
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.

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

Answer 3

let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. -- is the bolded and I think its man vs. man

Answer 4

No. Not really Man vs. Man
The reason I say that is because he is going against the people there. That would not really make it Man vs. Man. If he is going against a lot of people, do you know what that is then?

Answer 5

This would become Man vs. Society
But you DO understand right?

Answer 6

But in the end this is ALL to my knowledge, I am not 100% sure about it, BUT I would choose that answer for myself.

Answer 7

What's the society in this? The whole kingdom? @KilluaXZoldyck I don't think it's Man Vs Society. It seems more Man(Prince) vs Man(Romeo).

Answer 8

Hm.
Maybe you are correct but like I said "I am not 100% sure"
So I am sorry if I have given the wrong answer.

Answer 9

It took me a minute to think about this too, it's kind of tricky =P

Answer 10

Sorry for the late reply but I I took the test and it was man vs society

Answer 11

Thanks both of you for all of yall's help, greatly appreciated!

Answer 12

Answer 13
