Read juliet’s soliloquy from act iv, scene iii. based on her dialogue, explain the conflict that juliet faces. is the conflict primarily external or internal? explain why.
juliet: farewell! god knows when we shall meet again.
i have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
that almost freezes up the heat of life:
i'll call them back again to comfort me:
nurse! what should she do here?
my dismal scene i needs must act alone.
come, vial.
what if this mixture do not work at all?
shall i be married then to-morrow morning?
no, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.
[laying down her dagger]
what if it be a poison, which the friar
subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
because he married me before to romeo?
i fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
for he hath still been tried a holy man.
how if, when i am laid into the tomb,
i wake before the time that romeo
come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
shall i not, then, be stifled in the vault,
to whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
and there die strangled ere my romeo comes?
or, if i live, is it not very like,
the horrible conceit of death and night,
together with the terror of the place,—
as in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
where, for these many hundred years, the bones
of all my buried ancestors are packed:
where bloody tybalt, yet but green in earth,
lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
at some hours in the night spirits resort; —
alack, alack, is it not like that i,
so early waking, what with loathsome smells,
and shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
that living mortals, hearing them, run mad: —
o, if i wake, shall i not be distraught,
environed with all these hideous fears?
and madly play with my forefather's joints?
and pluck the mangled tybalt from his shroud?
and, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
as with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
o, look! methinks i see my cousin's ghost
seeking out romeo, that did spit his body
upon a rapier's point: stay, tybalt, stay!
romeo, i come! this do i drink to thee.

Read the excerpt from act 2 of a doll's house. nora: [quickly] he mustn't get the letter. tear it up. i will find some means of getting money. krogstad: excuse me, mrs. helmer, but i think i told you just now— nora: i am not speaking of what i owe you. tell me what sum you are asking my husband for, and i will get the money. krogstad: i am not asking your husband for a penny. nora: what do you want, then? krogstad: i will tell you. i want to rehabilitate myself, mrs. helmer; i want to get on; and in that your husband must me. for the last year and a half i have not had a hand in anything dishonourable, amid all that time i have been struggling in most restricted circumstances. i was content to work my way up step by step. now i am turned out, and i am not going to be satisfied with merely being taken into favour again. i want to get on, i tell you. i want to get into the bank again, in a higher position. your husband must make a place for me— nora: that he will never do! krogstad: he will; i know him; he dare not protest. and as soon as i am in there again with him, then you will see! within a year i shall be the manager's right hand. it will be nils krogstad and not torvald helmer who manages the bank. nora: that's a thing you will never see! krogstad: do you mean that you will—? nora: i have courage enough for it now. krogstad: oh, you can't frighten me. a fine, spoilt lady like you— nora: you will see, you will see. krogstad: under the ice, perhaps? down into the cold, coal-black water? and then, in the spring, to float up to the surface, all horrible and unrecognisable, with your hair fallen out— nora: you can't frighten me. krogstad: nor you me. people don't do such things, mrs. helmer. besides, what use would it be? i should have him completely in my power all the same. nora: afterwards? when i am no longer— krogstad: have you forgotten that it is i who have the keeping of your reputation? [nora stands speechlessly looking at him.] well, now, i have warned you. do not do anything foolish. when helmer has had my letter, i shall expect a message from him. and be sure you remember that it is your husband himself who has forced me into such ways as this again. i will never forgive him for that. goodbye, mrs. helmer. [exit through the hall.] what conflict does krogstad introduce? krogstad tells nora that he has written a letter telling helmer about her affair with the doctor. krogstad refuses to forgive helmer unless nora finds a way to come up with more money. krogstad tries to blackmail nora into getting helmer to keep him at the bank by exposing her forgery. krogstad plans to take helmer’s job managing the bank and ruin nora’s reputation while doing so.
