Read the following selection from Act Ill of Romeo and Juliet. What conflict does the line in bold most closely represent? PRINCE
Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio,
Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?
MONTAGUE
Not Romeo, prince, he was Mercutio's friend
His fault concludes but what the law should end,
The life of Tybalt
PRINCE
And for that offence
Immediately we do exile him hence:
I have an interest in your hate's proceeding,
My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding,
But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine
That you shall all repent the loss of mine.
I will be deaf to pleading and excuses;
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.
Therefore use none let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he's found that hour is his last
Bear hence this body and attend our will:
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
Man vs. Man
