Inner conflicts occur when a character struggles with what to do in a certain situation. The inner conflicts that occur are with Juliet mostly. In Act III, scene 2 , the Nurse delivers the horrible news that Romeo killed Tybalt. Juliet has an inner conflict because she cannot believe that her love could kill her cousin. However, she is now married to Romeo and must support him unconditionally. She struggles with this a bit, but decides she must stand by her husband and accept his actions. The next example is also Juliet's. After Romeo is banished, Lord Capulet has set up the wedding for her to marry Paris . She can't do this and after turning to both her mother and the Nurse, she finds that she is on her own.
