How many of us have ever been in a conflict? Probably all of us at some point in time. Let's say, someone makes you mad or you make someone else mad. Then you might argue with that other person. Most times conflicts can be resolved but why is it that some conflicts aren't resolved so easily and the after math might be loosing a job, a friend or maybe even physical death.
The reason I think some conflicts aren't resolved (and ultimately lead to death) is people are stubborn and they like to hold grudges. Think about it. Most times when you are in a conflict with someone else, you don't always want to be the first person to apologize or you don't really feel like talking to that person at all. People usually like to be stubborn and wait for the other person to start doing some apologizing. When that doesn't happen, things just go down hill from there. You might stop speaking to that other person for a while and then eventually, lose complete connection with them.
In the case of physical death however, there is a good example of that in the Crucible. People held grudges against each other. And then when they got the perfect moment to get revenge, they accused people of being witches and wizards. Abigail did this to Mrs. Proctor. She kept low and the first chance she got, she accused Mrs. Proctor of being a witch. However she was only kept alive because she was pregnant.
Maybe if people didn't hold so many grudges or stopped being so stubborn, more conflicts would be resolved and they wouldn't ultimately lead to death.
