Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet is similar to the book Matched by Ally Condie in my opinion. Both books are about true love that is forbidden in society’s eyes. “Romeo and Juliet” is an older book but both display the effects of love and what people are willing to do. Both books have an ideal soulmate that the setting and story line that the author has set up for the characters, but both main character defies it. They fall in love with the antagonist side and have to overcome many difficult situations. The two books shows the difficulties and hardship the characters go through for true love.While going through with life they learn what misery and pain is and how it is in the real world.
The female characters in both novels share the similar problem. In both novels there is a “perfect guy” made for the character, but they fall for another person.

Thought the play, these lovers go through many obstacles that range from arranging a wedding and finding a time to meet to Juliet trying to get out of marrying Paris.

A Comparison of Two Versions of Romeo and Juliet In this essay the opening sequences of the two versions of
The purpose of the light/dark motif in Romeo and Juliet is to show how Romeo and Juliet are unable to tell light from dark, or good from bad. I think everyone has the potential to discern what choices lead to “light” and what choices keep them in the “dark”. So Romeo and Juliet had that potential but I don’t think they wanted to know about that, since nothing else mattered to them but them. In this play, Romeo and Juliet do never make a clear choice of light over dark because they almost do not want to deal that decision in the midst of their romantic bliss. They could have brought their situation, which was becoming more of a mess each day, into the light by speaking openly about it. However that would’ve ended, I think the feud would have to be reconciled in some way and I’m sure Romeo and Juliet would not have lost their lives doing this. By ignoring their responsibilities and ignoring the darkness that was impeding upon them, Romeo and Juliet in essence allow tragedy to befall them both.

Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most classic love story in the English language and it portrays to us young, irrational, passionate love. Shakespeare suggests to us that the kind of love that Romeo and Juliet feel towards each other leads lovers to pass in isolation to the world around them because they are so in love. Romeo and Juliet refrain from committing to anyone else as they choose only to act selflessly towards each other. They obtain a strong young love which is a reason why their relationship grows as intense as it does so quickly. Shakespeare makes us think that Romeo and Juliet's love is only a short-term burst of young love, which we know it is short-term, but from the view of a reader, Romeo and Juliet have a very special love.
