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.
