"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.
