A prevailing conflict in Romeo & Juliet is the Capulet & Montague feud. This interpersonal relationship illustrates many happenings throughout the book, and is undoubtedly the cause of Romeo & Juliet's untimely demises. This conflict also creates other miniature conflicts as well. For example, Tybalt and Mercutio both lost their lives thanks to the two families hostility and Paris would not have been slain by Romeo if not for this.
I think this conflict relates to everyday life with people with their parents divorced. I dont have this relation from personal experience but I know people with divorced Parents and it's always an uphill battle. While I think this is a bad comparison,conflict does give meaning to life as well. It keeps a person fighting, understanding the meaning of life, and that's one of the reasons Romeo & Juliet kept fighting. I deal with conflict by realizing that it's a natural part of life and everybody has to deal with it.

Romeo & Juliet Everywhere
A song that I thought related to Romeo & Juliet is called Romeo & Juliet by The Killers not just because of its name, but because the lyrics relate so much to what the book is like. I really enjoyed the song years ago, and it instantly came to mind when this blog was posted. The entire premise of the song is refreshing, and the relations from the book to the present creates a cool new aspect of the novel, and the song as well. I definately recommend the song to anyone who enjoys rock with a good beat.
