The journal topics-Romeo and Juliet

1. Could the same thing happen to two teenagers today? Explain why or why not.
I do think that the same thing could happen to two teenagers now because It is still possible for two families to feud and disapprove of their children dating or seeing each other. Even though this story is only a play the events which occurred in this play as far as the grudges or rivalry could still happen today.
2. Suppose Romeo and Juliet had not acted so hastily getting married. What effect, if any,
would that have had on the play?
If Romeo and Juliet had not acted so hastily, Romeo would have been killed or Paris would have been Juliet's husband. Romeo's family would also probably try to fight the Capulets. The fact that Romeo and Juliet acted hastily made the play more interesting. It added suspense.
3. Had Juliet been older, do you think she would have done the same things she did in the play?
If Juliet was older i do not think she would do the same things that she did in the play because she would be more mature and come up with smarter solutions to solving her and Romeo's problem. For example, at the end of the story or play Romeo and Juliet both committed suicide. They could have came up with a better solution that that.
