How Does Shakespeare Explore the Theme of Conflict in Act 3 Sceane 1 of Romeo and Juiliet and How Conflict Is, Presented Peoms Chosen from the Selecton
How is conflict and violence presented in The Man He Killed by Thomas Hardy?
The Man He Killed, is a poem wich was written in 1902 by Thomas Hardy. The peom is about the boer war wich took place between Great brittan and South Africa. Hardy wasn't actually in the boer was, however i think he got his quates of other people's opinions.
" Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
In the first stanza, some one is talking but we don't no who yet, are who he is talking to. He talks in a casual tone, he talks about how they could of been friends and get along with one another.
"Had he and i but met
By some old ancient inn"
His tone is very general, like he is calm and just having a casual conversation. In the fist line he introduces the two main characters, " he and I" He dosn't go in depth about "he" this could be because it makes him emotinol about what had happend. However this could also mean he is just one of the enemys that didn't mean anything to him.
"We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!"
This shows that the two men, if they had met in other circumstances met eachother outside a pub they would have enjoyed a few drinks ("Right many a nipperkin") together.
"But raged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place
It turns out that the speaker and the other guy were enemies in war. "ranged as infantry" This shows that they was on foot. This could show that they were lined up in ranks for battle, that they could totaly look right at eachother. "I shot at him as he shot at me" He uses dramatic monologue and he dosn't go in detail, this could be because he dosn't want to talk about it on the other

    Despite being written two centuries after Romeo and Juliet, The Laboratory by Robert Browning, taken from the 1842 collection, Dramatic Lyrics, explores many aspects of conflict that relate to both the Elizabethan and Victorian societies. Written as a dramatic monologue rather than a play, Browning uses the poem to expose how jealousy and envy lead to a catastrophic build-up of internal conflict, which results in her desire kill her rival by poisoning her in the presence of her lover. However, while it is clear that both Shakespeare and Browning are interested in presenting similar aspects of conflict within their respective societies, their approach to presenting these conflicts is rather different.…

    At the start of Act 3 Scene 5, Juliet has just, unknowingly, said her final words to Romeo and had a premonition of his untimely death, something that later comes true when Juliet awakes from her drug induced slumber to find Romeo lying dead on the floor of the Capulet tomb. It is at this moment the Nurse informs Juliet that her mother is coming to her chambers. When her mother arrives, she finds Juliet in tears. However, instead of showing kindness towards her, she places a death threat on Romeo… believing Juliet’s tears to be sadness over the death of Tybalt and anger towards Romeo for killing him. However, this just adds to the distress Juliet is under. It is then Lady Capulet makes an announcement that, to Juliet, is the worst possible thing that could happen. She tells her that ‘’the gallant, young and noble gentleman, the county Paris, at Saint Peter’s church will happily make thee there a joyful bride” Here Lady Capulet is expecting a positive response, believing that this marriage will truly bring here out of her grief. So, the response she receives from Juliet would have been shocking, not only to Lady Capulet but to the contemporary audience… as it was expected at the time, that girls would do as their fathers told them and not dream of disobedience. The main emotion Juliet expresses in her response to her mother is anger. This very sudden, strong expression of her feelings on this matter has emerged due to this hasty marriage proposal being placed upon her already fired up emotions. Juliet is only a young girl, 13 years old and yet she is having to try and cope with problems/emotions that many of us will likely never have to face. It is the way Shakespeare portrays this that gains the sympathy of the modern audience and even partly the contemporary audience. Now although Juliet’s anger does show her youthfulness, it is quite clear to the audience she is not innocent little girl that her parents believe her to be. Juliet’s complete response to her mother…

    Conflicts make the world go around, but when is conflict reaching the point where family relationships are affected? In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, both the Montague and Capulet families experience conflicts that in return, leave long lasting effects on their families. While many people may argue that the feuding between the families in the play cannot be used as a relative argument, Shakespeare uses this to prove that conflicts often do not need to be taken to extremes. When conflicts are taken to these extremes, family relationships are often times injured in the process of resolving the issue. Not only does this appear many places in the past, the same problem of conflicts reaching extremes still happens, and happens quite often, in the modern world. In many cases, parents and children have different views on these conflicts, which causes their…

    In Capulet’s house, Juliet longs for night to fall so that Romeo will come to her “untalked of and unseen”. Suddenly the Nurse rushes in with news of the fight between Romeo and Tybalt. But the Nurse is so distraught; she stumbles over the words, making it sound as if Romeo is dead. Juliet assumes Romeo has killed himself, and she resigns to die herself. The Nurse then begins to moan about Tybalt’s death, and Juliet briefly fears that both Romeo and Tybalt are dead. When the story is at last straight and Juliet understands that Romeo has killed Tybalt and been sentenced to exile, she curses nature that it should put “the spirit of a fiend” in Romeo’s “sweet flesh”. The Nurse echoes Juliet and curses Romeo’s name, but Juliet denounces her for criticizing her husband, and adds that she regrets faulting him herself. Juliet claims that Romeo’s banishment is worse than ten thousand slain Tybalt. She laments that she will die without a wedding night, a maiden-widow. The Nurse assures her, however, that she knows where Romeo is hiding, and will see to it that Romeo comes to her for their wedding night. Juliet gives the Nurse a ring to give to Romeo as a token of her love.…

    In William Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ there is alot of conflict particularly in act 3 scene 1. The audience find conflict interesting to watch because it creates drama and tension. Shakespeare uses many dramatic devices to present this; some of these techniques include foreshadowing, puns and irony to add to this effect. Another reason why Shakespeare uses conflict in the play is so that the audience are able to get attached to it and watch the conflict grow. The fact that the scene is set in a public place encourages the characters to show off, the characters do this because they want to show their strength and show people that they are not afraid. The conflict in the play was created by a family ‘feud’, the families included Montague and Capulet. Ever since the feud the families have been fighting ever since, however the conflict later on heightens because ‘star-crossed lovers’ Romeo Capulet and Juliet Montague marry, but this later on turns into a tragedy.…

    This scene is important to the whole play as we can begin to see how the relationship between Romeo and Juliet is doomed. This is different from what our first feelings were about their relationship, which is what Shakespeare had intended to do. Shakespeare constantly changes how we feel and what our moods are during this part of the play so that we finally realise that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet is doomed.…

    They say all is fair in love and war, but sometimes war is the only option. Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare gives us the blessed story of the forbidden lovers Romeo and Juliet, who marry under Friar Lawrence’s power, and die by their own wills to avoid the long-standing suffering of losing each other Through the ages, we have depicted great acts of violence, from bombs, to slaughters, to hostile takeovers. We have settled with words before with our guns, hopefully before there are casualties. Yet, words have not always settled the score, not being enough to provide salvation for those innocent and those fighting In our world, words aren’t always the best or most final choice, yet we could’ve had a much more solid answer with physical confrontation and violence.…
