Question

PARIS: This is that banish'd haughty Montague,

That murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,
It is supposed, the fair creature died;
And here is come to do some villanous shame
To the dead bodies: I will apprehend him.

(Comes forward)

Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague!
Can vengeance be pursued further than death?
Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee:
Obey, and go with me; for thou must die.

ROMEO: I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.

PARIS: I do defy thy conjurations,
And apprehend thee for a felon here.

B. person versus the unknown

Answer 1

person versus person

Answer 2

Answer: D. Person versus person.

Step-by-step explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given lines from "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, we can see an example of a person vs person in literature, a conflict, between Paris and Romeo, because they are both in love with Juliet.
