In this excerpt from act v of shakespeare's romeo and juliet, friar laurence's letter to romeo is not delivered due to circumstances beyond his control. what is the conflict in the scene?

In Act V, we learn that Friar Laurence's letter is not delivered to Romeo due to circumstances beyond his control. He had asked Friar John to deliver the letter to Romeo, but he had been unable to do so because he was quarantined in a house due to an outbreak of plague.

The conflict in this excerpt is an external one, as the circumstances are beyond the Friar's control. It could be considered an example of man vs. nature (the plague) or man vs. fate.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
