In my book “New Moon” by Stephenie Meyer, I believe that the five greatest tensions is the romantic tension between Edward and Bella, when Bella almost dies because she jumps of a cliff, when starts to really fall for Bella, Bella doesn’t notice that he is, because she is beautiful to him and he loves being around her and because she makes him feels special when she gives him attention, and when the Volturi tries to kill Bell because she knows too much about vampires and because they fear that she would exploit them .

The romantic tension between Edward and Bella is one of the greatest tensions because Bella and Edwards love for each other is non-negotiable and to a certain extent this alters the feel of the story. Bella and Edwards love grows but, there is always something or someone trying to destroy their love for each other. Bella is Edward’s whole life and he would not let anyone, anything, or even himself hurt her because she means so much to him.

Also, one of the greatest tensions is when Bella almost dies because she jumps off a cliff because Edward left her and she become delusional, so she thinks the only way she can see him is if she puts herself in danger. She tries to come back up out of the water but big waves keeps knocking her back in the water and she nearly drowns. But, in the end Jacob comes and saves her before she drowns and takes her to safety on the beach. This is one of the greatest tensions because deaf threatens to break Edward and Bella apart.

Another greatest tension is when Jacob starts to really fall in love with Bella. Jacob had feelings for Bella since the first day she arrived in Forks but, he didn’t know how to show it. Every day that he sees her, his love grows more and more for Bella. But, the problem is that Bella is in love with a vampire by the name of Edward, his worst enemy. Jacob fears that Bella would never love him like he loves her and, that because she dates

    Furthermore, it is the tension of conflict that prevents the characters from sharing moments of true intimacy. During a scene in Act One, Stephen tries to reveal to Judy some of the lowest points in his adolescence. However, neither can move beyond their contradicting beliefs about the relationship their parents shared; and inevitably begin arguing. Therefore, the characters cannot share intimate moments because of their misunderstanding of each other's beliefs, which then leads to conflict.…

    When discussing conflict everyone has their own definition, but it would generally be agreed that it requires a disagreement between individuals within a group. However, my definition of conflict would be a mental struggle between the character and a clash between two or more characters with different interests. A conflict presents itself in various forms. It may also come willingly or unwillingly affecting a person's mind or a person's actions. A conflict can either be a blessing or a curse. This essay will show how 3 books with different conflicts changed a character's life or the characters' way of thinking.…

    ”Tension is the force which drives a drama. It is said to be the most important element, and no drama exists without some form of tension.” (Haseman et al, 1986) Tension of relationships was shown in the play as one relationship affected another. All the characters were intertwined. Tension of the task is closely linked to tension of surprise as the surprise came from the task.

    Paula, Jacob’s daughter, always coasts through life with an effortless smile across her face…or so it seems. Paula has a beautiful, angelic voice that could stop you in your tracks. “Paula had filled the silence with her own voice.” (175) The silence created by her Father’s omission of his past impacts Paula to have an empty, negative space in her life. On the outside, no one would ever accuse Paula of thinking negatively or being afraid. But, you cannot judge a book by its cover, “You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m still so afraid of the dark, after all this time; I go to sleep with my hands and feet twisted together for comfort.” (123) Jacob never told Paula of his past, which led to Paula feeling insecure, afraid, and lost. Once Paula does find out the truth of her father’s past, she is “broken, like somebody took her (me) apart.” (214) Jacob was just trying to protect his daughter by keeping his past a secret, but in the end has a more negative impact on her life.…

    Romeo and Juliet are that couple always standing in the middle of the hallway, locked in a tight embrace, mesmerized by each other and blind to the rest of the world. They’re so passionate and hopelessly attracted to each other that their minds can’t comprehend the hordes of people scrambling around them rushing off to class. Crowds push and shove them into corners and lockers, but the couple’s eyes’ are still locked on each other. This causes a massive collision right in the middle of the busiest hallway in school. Teenagers sprawled on the ground slowly rise up, giving the couple irritated glares, brush off their pants and hurry down the hall. Romeo and Juliet’s unrelenting adoration for each other causes tragic and terrible consequences, due to their rash decisions and ignorance to the world around them. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare demonstrates to the reader how love leads to irrational decisions because of its blinding nature. The author does this by using light vs dark imagery, as light is hate and darkness is love. Light blinds Romeo and Juliet from making reasonable decisions, but darkness further increases their love for one another. Through the use of the themes of light vs dark, Shakespeare is able to transform hate into love, which occurs due to the pressures of family and romantic love.…

    Romeo says, “I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes/ And but thou love me, let them find me here. / My life were better ended by their hate/ Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.” (Shakespeare II.II.15-18). Romeo and Juliet still continue their relationship because their love is so strong. When they are together, nothing else matters. Hacht states, “The love between them could not be touched or hindered.” (Hacht 764). They both realize that they are risking their lives to be together. They continue their relationship because they are so deeply in love that nothing else matters to…
