Conflict in Romero & Juliet

"Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion." I wish that I could say that I have known this quote my entire life. It I had, I would have probably done a lot of things differently and made decisions based on different factors. But I haven't and neither has Juliet. Through my reading I think that Juliet's main conflict is with herself and her own emotions. That is true for most teenage girls though, and wasn't a bug surprise for me to read. She has the conflict of being forced to marry a man she doesn't care for, and not be able to be with the man who is the love of her life and her everything. She doesn't really know how to react, because there isn't much she can do, to be honest.
I think this internal conflict relates to all high schoolers in general, not just me. High School is crazy time in our life when we are forced to grow up and decided who we want to be. And most of the conflict is between ourselves. So it is easy for people to relate to Juliet because of the struggles she goes through with herself. She doesn't have friends and support around her, and thank goodness most high schoolers do now days. But still, I think it is a struggle for every teen having the internal conflict.

Romero & Juliet is Everywhere!

Pretty Little Liars. I would be flat out lying to the entire world if I didn't say that a majority of my 8th grade school nights where spend reading the series page by page to the early morning hours. I was obsessed. The drama, the love stories and the murder mysteries had me never setting the books down, besides in my all important classes of course! But my two all time favorite characters where Aria & Mr. Fitz. They had a complicated, but completely meant to be romance that was never in a million years supposed to happen. Mr.Fitz's was Aria's English teacher but that didn't stop their relationship from secretly continuing. To the outside world in was wrong on every level but to them it was a connection that nothing could break.

The love story of Romero & Juliet and Aria & Mr.Fitz's might not be exactly the same, but the have the underlining fact that both of their love was absolutely forbidden. The two couples where not meant to far in love, but they did. The both fell for each other at the first moment and nothing else mattered. They both had people who would do anything to break them up, but their loved stayed strong. They had times that tested their relationship, and one couple did better than the other. Because with Forbidden love the outcome is unpredictable.
