There are many types of conflict in Romeo and Juliet, but one of the more subtle ones is the internal conflict all the characters face against themselves. Romeo and Juliet must battle their consciences every time they decide to defy their parents and see each other. When Romeo meets with Juliet under the cover of darkness he tells her that his name is an enemy to himself for it is her enemy.
This conflict is present in my life all the time, maybe not in the same form as in the play but it is still a battle against my will and body. Whenever I am in a race and I start to tire I have to fight it out against my own body and carry on. I have to take my mind somewhere else and only think of what is ahead. You can never let your tired lungs win the fight, you must battle and win against your muscles.

Romeo and Juliet = Edward and Bella
It took me quite awhile to think of something that would really fit into this blog. Finally it came to me. New Moon of the twilight saga features two people who have met and fallen in love even though they should not be together. I immediately ran to my computer to blog about it...then i read the assignment and noticed how it had already mentioned the twilight books. That was a little irritating, I thought it was a pretty good idea until I found out that Mrs. Gilman stole it from me! Oh well, I'm going to write about it anyway. So in New Moon Edward hears from a friend that Bella had gone cliff diving, mistakenly though he thinks that she committed suicide. He then travels to Italy to anger the world's most powerful vampires so that they will kill him. When Bella hears about this she decides to travel to Italy to save him, in the end all is resolved and nobody dies a tragic death because of some stupid mistake, unlike Romeo and Juliet.
