iRomeo and Juliet were written by William Shakespeare. The play is about two star crossed lovers who are born into two different families who have an ancient grudge. This leads to both Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. The play has strong violence and conflict involved in it. Shakespeare uses different types of conflict throughout the play. The Prologue shows that there will be conflict in the play when it mentions, ‘From ancient grudge... Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.’ The word Civil makes me think that people who are not involved in the grudge still suffer pain. This gives you a quick impression of what the play is going to be about.…
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…
The tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. It was written in the late 16th century. The contemporary society is reflected throughout the text; one in which men rule and women are viewed as possessions. Romeo and Juliet is a play driven through by enmity and conflicts throught Act 3 scenes 5. The play emphasizes a struggle between two or more things. Although the play shows the conflict between the two houses "Montague" and "Capulet” however Act 3 scene 5 concentrates on the inner conflict of the houses especially between "Lord" Capulet and his daughter Juliet. Act 3 scene 5 is a significant scene of this tragic play. One of the primary reasons for this is that the play is acknowledged to be a romance between two lovers, but in this scene Shakespeare has managed to change that by introducing a love tragedy theme in the scene. Act 3 Scene 5 is a significant scene because it's one of the vital parts of the play, that's built with a variety of dramatic irony.…
The story of Romeo and Juliet has been going on and repeated since Shakespeare’s time. But it’s really known because of the conflict between the two families. If there wasn’t any conflict it would just be another story about love. Conflict is the secret ingredient to a drama story, that’s what makes it a drama. The conflict between these two families creates tension and what we call “forbidden love”, the two lovers want to be with each other so bad they will die rather than to be with someone else. But their families disagree, which makes the whole story dramatic.…

At GCSE, the requirements of different awarding bodies will determine which specific assessment opportunities are appropriate. In GCSE English Literature there is evidence that the more precise the link between a Shakespeare play and related text(s) the easier it is for students to meet the assessment criteria.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare portrays love blossoming in the midst of violent conflict at the centre of the feud. The connection is not coincidental; it is essential. This antithesisbuilds tension, as the Chorus sets up a ‘fearful’, ‘fatal’, ‘death-marked mood’, sowing the seeds of tragedy in the turbulent ground of ‘rage’. The lovers will be destroyed in a catharticmovement that will ‘bury their parents’ strife’. Shakespeare shows the redemptive power of love opposed to destructive hate - and in some ways the feud seems the major cause of the tragedy. But it is not the only cause. Romeo’s violent love echoes Tybalt’s love of violence. Both characters act out the parts they’ve written for themselves, and in both cases, ‘violent delights’ come to ‘violent ends’.…
Have you ever thought about how “Romeo and Juliet” would have ended if communication was effectively used throughout the whole play? The outcome of the play would have been significantly different, and most, if not all, of the characters would still be alive. Every major event that happens is because of a miscommunication or no communication at all. In fact, the whole play is based on miscommunication. The feud between the two families causes major problems and forms the whole plot of the play.…
An annoying argument. A conceited conflict. A vengeful vendetta. A dangerous disagreement. Merriam-Webster defines feud as a mutual enmity or quarrel that is often prolonged or inveterate (Feud). It’s what happens when a silly dispute turns serious. It’s what occurs when a simple brawl turns into an elaborate war. To understand a true feud, one should have a true example, a borderline example, and a non example. The infamous fall out of Taylor Swift and Kanye West, although petty and dramatic, this is an excellent example of a real feud. The beloved Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet. The Capulets and Montagues had a lasting argument passed down from one generation to the next, which makes it a non example of a feud. The ogre-like men in…
Conflict whilst selfish desire is in play, tends to get more aggravated as it is what a certain person wants. Juliet in her case has no care or intention whatsoever to follow her generations hatred. At the end of her first encounter with Romeo, Juliet states how she had just learned that the man she fell in love with was heir to the Montague family, the family in which her family is in pure hatred with. She says "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me That I must love a loathed enemy." She has fallen in love with the family's enemy and knows her family will never approve of her love. This occurs within the happening of Tybalt’s death, she cannot say anything about the dilemma she finds her self intertwined in without the use of the oxymoron. This shows how no matter what her family wants she will go against them due to her own selfish desires.…
Right from the start Shakespeare lets us know there will be conflict throughout the play as in the prologue it says "from ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny." And "where civil blood makes civil hands unclean" This lets us know that there will was a past grudge and in this play the grudge will be re-ignited and it also suggests there will be fighting throughout the play and conflict will escalate. These two lines are about the feud between the families. It shows that it is an ancient grudge, which has been brewing for many years. By repeating the words civil, Shakespeare is stressing the fact that they are all civilians but the pride within each family has led them to violence and evil.…
