In the play “Romeo and Juliet”, those two protagonists meet, fall in love, and are forced into suicide by outside conflicts. I believe the first of such conflicts is Friar Laurence, another character. Romeo and Juliet often trust him for advice and help, which he gives, but only to benefit himself. The second conflict is the Capulet family. They force Juliet to do things she doesn’t want to causing her to make rash decisions. Another possible conflict would be the culture of Verona. I disagree with this conflict as the plot is advanced by actions of individuals, independent of the culture. Because the actions of Friar Laurence and the Capulets greatly impacts Romeo and Juliet’s actions, I think that the plot is pushed forward by them.

A conflict that doesn’t do this is the Culture of Verona because the actions characters are independent of the culture. You could say that Paris’ rush to marry Juliet was caused by their culture, “Younger than she are happy mothers made”. Instead, I think that this was rushed despite the culture because even Capulet tries to say that they could marry later in life “And too soon marr’d are those so early made”. Another thing that could be blamed on the culture are the protagonists’ rushed decisions. “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken?”. I think that these decisions are because of Friar Laurence's advice and pressure of their parents. Finally, it could be said that their quickly accelerating relationship is because of the culture of Verona. I’d argue that this is because of their passion for each other, less than the culture. In conclusion, I think that the culture of Verona played a limited role in the progression of the plot because the important decisions and actions were made by other
