In Romeo and Juliet Juliet is known to be the obedient daughter of the Capulet's, but when she finds herself falling in love with Romeo, her families enemy, she intertwines herself into terrible situations. From a girl being so dependent on her parents, Juliet is now forced to make decisions of her own. Juliet's disobedience and poor choices lead her to the death of herself and Romeo. The reader is able to convey the message that young love can lead to poor decisions if not given enough time to grow. Romeo and Juliet push the binding of love and cause their ever so majestic love to be a dangerous game.
Even though as young adults, we don't know the true feelings of being destined for love with someone, but we do find ourselves in situations in which we make poor decisions in order to pursue happiness. Just like Juliet, we fall into the trap of how modern eyes see us. Juliet was willing to do anything for Romeo, and the everyday teenager will do anything for what some people would call a good reputation. Much like Juliet most of us don't think before we speak or make decisions. 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: It's Everywhere

When I first saw the movie WALL-E I thought it was just a fun Disney movie. But now after reading Romeo and Juliet I can see how the makers may have based some of the plot on Romeo and Juliet. WALL-E is Romeo and EVE would be Juliet. As the prologue states," A pair of star-crossed lovers", WALL-E and EVE in one scene are flying through the stars. They both come from different lifestyles and are willing to change for each other which makes this such a great story.
