Main Conflict

In the story, "Berenice," Egaeus becomes almost obsessed with his love's, teeth.
One day, he looked at his loving cousin's mouth and stared uncontrollably. But, you must understand that Egaeus had no other choice. He had been diagnosed with a monomania disease which causes one to focus extremely hard on "something" or a topic for a period of time. So when he first looked at her teeth an obsession hit him. Everyday, he fantasized about the teeth and imagined analyzing them from every angle, learning about them. So, he basically plans to take Berenice's teeth just to hault the curiousity in his mind.
