an outside pressure that escalates a conflict
Explanation: Paris is not the tragic hero nor the source of the failed letter; his presence at the Capulet tomb and his role as Juliet’s intended act as an external obstacle/foil to Romeo, precipitating the fight in Act V, scene iii and helping drive the final tragic outcome.
