The next part of conflict is between Romeo and Rosaline, when he thought he loved Rosaline but was realising that he is starting to show greater signs of affection towards Juliet. This is supported by when he said, "did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne`er saw true beauty till this night". In this part he is saying that he thought he loved Rosaline but at first sight he has never seen anybody as beautiful as Juliet. The body language here is that he would probably be standing in confusement. This puts the effect of very mixed emotions and puts a slight bit of suspense on the audience as to what his final decision will be. This type of conflict is again inner conflict and Shakespeare uses it here to create that bit of suspense in the audience and to help promote the fact that Romeo is confused about who he loves most. Another opinion is that Rosaline doesn't actually appear in the play, this is to create an effect on the audience. The effect is of suspense again and the audience have to try and work out how he feels about this person who is a mystery to the audience.
The next part of conflict in this scene is between Romeo and Tybalt, Romeo is an uninvited guest to the party and Tybalt is furious about him gate crashing it. This is very strong potential conflict as it is the clash between Capulet and Montague to very opposite families. There is conflict here to give the idea of suspense to the audience that there maybe a fight or a feud. That is why Shakespeare uses very strong language when Tybalt sais "to strike him dead I hold it not a sin". In this he is saying that to kill him it wouldn't bother him.
Shakespeares next use of conflict is to show the differences in agreement between Tybalt and Capulet, Capulet just wants peace and for things to run smoothly like when he sais "content thee, gentle coz, let him alone". In that he is saying it would be best to leave him alone he isn`t doing any harm. However Tybalt wants to show authority and get rid of Romeo from the party when he sais, "it fits when such a villain is a guest". He is saying that Romeo is a Villain and is not a guest at the party. This conflict of disagreement ends in a feud when Capulet calls him a goodman boy (unmannerly child) "What, goodman boy! I say he shall. Go to!" Tybalt finds this insulting and sais, "Why, Uncle, 'tis a shame". Meaning he finds it dishonourable for his uncle to insult him and for his uncle to allow Romeo to stay. This is physical conflict because they are having a argument which results in Tybalts uncle hitting him. Shakespeare uses conflict here to brighten up this scene to add some more excitement. The audiences reaction to this is that they start to believe that montagues do want to settle peace, but Tybalt is a very selfish person that has to have things his way.
Again there is further conflict between Romeo and Juliet however this time it is actually in person rather than in the head of Romeo. It is where Romeo and Juliet meet person to person for the first time. Again this is potential conflict because it is a clash between Capulet and Montague they shouldn't really meet. But they are not having a feud or an argument they are chatting each other up as Juliet also has taken a liking to Romeo. Like when Romeo sais, "If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, The gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. In this he is saying that to kiss her would smooth her nervous touch. This use of language is to show that she is slightly shaken of the meeting of a capulet, this is another reason why Shakespeare uses conflict here to give the idea to the audience of love that should or shouldn't of ever happened. If Romeo hadn't of gate crashed the party, they would have never of met and Romeo would still of strongly loved Rosaline. After this Juliet leaves and the nurse tells Romeo that she is a capulet. There inner conflict here between Romeo and Juliet as Romeo is probably confused about the whole thing, the woman he has fell in love with is not really perfect it is almost impossible for them to have a relaxed and normal relationship.
The final part of conflict in this scene is between Juliet and the Nurse, Juliet is trying to bring in the subject of Romeo "Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman?" She asks of his name and sais, "My grave is like to be my wedding-bed". That meaning she will die if she can`t marry him, this shows great sign`s of love and affection for Romeo. This is also ironic as she ends up married to Romeo and lying dead next to him. This use of language is to show the inseparable bond between them, which gives the effect to the audience of true love.
Throughout the play Shakespeare uses conflict in different ways, he uses inner conflict to show feelings and emotions. He uses physical conflict to show the fierce clash between Capulet and Montague. He uses potential to create the effect of what might happen. He also uses it to help the audience understand and know what is going on in the play and to even create suspense at some points.
