Discuss the causes of conflict in a Shakespeare play you have studied. How do they reflect the time in which the play was written.More than 3...

Let's look at Romeo and Juliet as an
example of a Shakespearean play which reflects the time the play was written in.  Juliet
finds herself in a difficult situation when her father orders her to marry Paris.  Now,
it is usually considered rare for a father to arrange a marriage for his daughter.  In
Shakespeare's time, this was a normal occurrence.  Juliet is willing to kill herself
rather than go through with the marriage.  She has no thoughts of running off to join
Romeo in exile even though he is her husband.  During Shakespeare's time, a young girl
like Juliet would have no concept of life outside her father's house.  She was from a
wealthy family and would have been too unskilled to find work or support herself.  In
today's world, Romeo and Juliet probably would have run off the Vegas, gotten married,
and found a quiet place to settle down together.  It is sometimes difficult for us to
understand the choices they made because our lives are so different from the way theirs
were.
