Mercutio is a long standing and loyal friend. He genuinely cares for Romeo and his family. He knows Romeo well, maybe better than anyone. Juliet, on the other hand, only knows the boy she's in love with..... the romantic boy who's in love with her.

What is romeo conflict?

Tybalt has challenged Romeo, and Romeo must answer the challenge. Unfortuately, he's conflicted over the fact that Tybalt is a part of Juliet's family, but as a Montague, he's bound to the feud.
