Conflict

In Romeo and Juliet Juliet is known to be the obedient daughter of the Capulets, but when she finds herself falling for the her family's enemy, Romeo, she tangles herself into unpleasant situations. From a girl being so dependent on her parents, Juliet is now forced to make her own decisions. Juliet's disobedience and poor choices lead her to the death of Romeo and herself. Through this, the reader is able to convey the message that young love can lead to poor decisions if not given time to grown; Romeo and Juliet push the boundaries of love and cause their every so powerful love to be a dangerous game.

Even though as young teens, we don't know the feeling of being "star cross lovers" with someone, but we do find ourselves in situations in which we make poor decisions in order to seek pleasure or happiness. Just like Juliet, we fall into the trap of how modern eyes see it, peer pressure. Juliet was willing to do anything for Romeo, and the everyday teenager will do anything for what we think is a "good" reputation. Though this message may not have crossed Shakespeare's' mind while creating it, but the timeless tale's message is forever changing as time goes on.

Romeo and Juliet: Its Everywhere!

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare immerses the reader into a sappy story full of passion, true love, and destiny. Many stories, song, and movies can compare to this widely known play; a movie that mirrors the story of Romeo and Juliet, is the ever so predicable tale of the Illusionist. The movie is solely based off of how a young boy falls in love with a girl highly above his social standards, along with his art of magic. Because of their social standing their love is torn apart causing them to loose touch of each other. He became a magician and traveled the world in hopes to be reunited with his long lost love, only to find that she had remarried. As the story goes on, her tragic death causes him to expose his powers leaving him nothing but a depressed man emptied of love; a man a lot like Romeo. We hear of many stories based off of Romeo and Juliet at all ages, it is a timeless tale of love and destiny that can never be forgotten.
