Conflict in Romeo and Juliet

The main conflict in Romeo and Juliet is the fued between the two families. The Montague's and Capulet's have a great hate for one another which helps illustrate one of the themes. This family fued has to do with the love of Romeo and Juliet. The families fighting makes them both try harder to love one another and makes this play more dramatic. Romeo gave the Capulet's yet another reason to hate him when he killed Tybalt. I feel like some of the conflict that goes on in this play is because of power because although they are "both alike in dignity" they are still different. The hatred for the two families is not just between the parents but it also effects Romeo and Juliet's love for one another.

I don't relate to this conflict with a direct comparison but I have seen a lot of movies that relate to this kind of conflict. A couple will get married and the families won't like the wife or husband which in the movie is usually the climax. Who will they put first? Their parents or the one who they love? I don't know how people put people they haven't known before the family who has always and will always be there for them. I guess I'll only understand how they feel when I am older and married. This conflict is external because of the hatred between the two families but it is definitely also internal because of how the two people must feel on the inside. Knowing that the persons parents don't approve or like you. That would be pretty tough to deal with.
