Romeo and Juliet Everywhere







I am beginning to see that Romeo and Juliet involves many little plots all wrapped up into one story line. Many of these little plots have become a part of modern plays, movies and music since the original play was written by Shakespeare way back when. These similarities have even made their way to Pixar movies! As I am reading through the novel I think the most important conflict so far has been the controversy between the Montague and Capulet families that is keeping their children from freely loving each other. This is why I think The Movie Wall-E  resembles Romeo and Juliet. The main characters Wall-E and Eve fall for each other but, this romance is cut short because they come from different ways of living. They are so fond of each other they find a way to bend the rules to be together, just like Romeo and Juliet. Both of these couples are willing to leave their "world" for the other person which I think is what made these love story's so captivating.
