The conflicts set in motion by the events in Act I, Scene V was when Romeo and Juliet first met, during the party. Romeo wasn't even supposed to attend this event, he was actually coming to visit his true love, Rosaline, (he thought), until he saw Juliet. The two families, the Montagues, and Capulets can't stand each other, and it was already bad that Romeo had even shown up, so for them to see him and Juliet talking, made their family fueds more intense. Romeo and Juliet both realize that their families aren't to siked about each other but they will stop at nothing, to see each other, regardless of what anybody has to say.This "love" that they have each other brings about many debates, mainly because of how the Capulets feel about Romeo not being good enough for Juliet. But the Montagues don't necessarily have anything against Juliet it's just about how good the Capulets think they are. Romeo and Juliet being together may be the best thing that ever happened to them, but it may not ever be that way between their families.
Romeo and Juliet's reactions to each other when they first met were estatic,and it was love at first sight. Fpr the moment, their family feuds didn't matter to them as long as they were together.They were alike in the ways they felt for each other, even though they came from different backgrounds. The kiss they shared, their first dance dance, and their brief talks meant so much in that short period of time. If I saw someone for the first time and had the same experience as Romeo and Juliet, I'm sure I would want to get to know them as well. It's like seeing someone and your heart and mind connect without saying any words.
Raeven - good thoughts on conflict and on Romeo & Juliet's reactions. I would like to see you organize your thoughts into better paragraphs that utilize citations from the text to support your opinions (RACE METHOD). Also, make sure you are reading the prompt carefully because you left out the required vocabulary.
