Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Which type of external conflict is reflected in this excerpt from act V of Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

PARIS: This is that banish'd haughty Montague,
That murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,
It is supposed, the fair creature died;
And here is come to do some villanous shame
To the dead bodies: I will apprehend him.

(Comes forward)

Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague!
Can vengeance be pursued further than death?
Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee:
Obey, and go with me; for thou must die.

ROMEO: I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.

PARIS: I do defy thy conjurations,
And apprehend thee for a felon here.

Answer 8

man versus nature is like people and snow if that makes sense, man versus unknown is well that means he doesn't know what he's up against and man versus man is a people against people conflict for example a war or a gang fight which in this case man versus society he is banished by law. if that makes any sense what so ever.
