Question

Read the following selection from Act III of Romeo and Juliet. What conflict does the line in bold most closely represent?

Nurse
There's no trust,
No faith, no honesty in men; all perjured,
All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.
Ah, where's my man? give me some aqua vitae:
These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.
Shame come to Romeo!

JULIET
Blister'd be thy tongue
For such a wish! he was not born to shame:
Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit;
For 'tis a throne where honour may be crown'd
Sole monarch of the universal earth.
O, what a beast was I to chide at him!
Man vs. Man
Man vs. Self
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. Society

Answer 1

I think that its man vs. man
because Juliet is upset about Romeo

Answer 2

Man vs Self.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conflict can be defined as a struggle which happens between two opposing forces in literature. This struggle is usually between the main character(s) of the play with some other force.

The conflict in literature can be broadly divided into two main categories, i.e., internal and external conflict. In internal conflict, the character is in conflict with himself or his inner-self. In external conflict, character is in conflict with external forces, such as nature and society.

The conflict in the given extract is man vs self.

In this extract, Juliet is in conflict with her inner-self after she learns that Romeo has killed her cousin, Tybalt. She is in conflict because she not able to understand should she weep for his dead cousin Tybalt or for Romeo, who is now banished.

So, the correct answer is Man vs self.
