Romeo and Juliet Today
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is arguably the piece most referred to whenever the issue of
romance and love are mentioned. The love of Romeo and Juliet set the pace for most modern day
lovers, but a disparity exists. Like everything in history, love and romance change. The use of
Romeo and Juliet’s example of erotic love in the present day setting cannot be assumed to fit
without alterations. The love of Romeo and Juliet shows the events of the lives of two lovers and
their efforts to hide their love away from their parents. The personalities, attitudes, behavior, and
emotional expression of love displayed in the play are all mimicked in modern day romance.
Other than the change in culture and setting, Shakespeare’s presentation of Romeo and Juliet
reflects aspects of romantic love in the modern day scene.
Teenage Love
The analysis of the relationship between Romeo and Juliet and its relation to modern day
romance presents different themes all interconnected to show how the play has impacted today’s
romance and the love circle. The first significant relationship established is that defining the
romance and love relationships among teenagers today. Teenagers are critical in defining love
and romance since at that age, the initial feelings of desire and affection manifest. The sheer
nature of the plot of the play presents the audience with the typical teenage love between an
eighteen-year-old and a thirteen-year-old (Mallin 103). At the age of thirteen, teenagers are at the
peak of puberty hence the development of the plot around the age group.

and the modern teenager. The perfectness of their love and the naïve look at love and life
surfaces. The first thing observed is the selection of words they all use. The careful choice of
words by Juliet when she is speaking to Paris allows her to neither commit herself to him nor to
say that she does not want to be his wife. The wordplay shown by Juliet is observed among
modern-day youth in the deception of partners and talking their way out of tuff situations. The
presentation of words in a way that could be interpreted in several different ways is equivocal
and characteristic of the teenagers today (Huls 13). The wise choice of words is also observed as
the art of seduction in modern day romance. The twisting of words to appeal to the audience
while all along they carry no weight to the speaker is common among young teenagers and adults
as well, especially when their love is based on sexual desires.
