door shut. Reid didn’t know him, but he wore what
Reid recognized as their school’s letterman jacket
for football.
“Hey, Alyssa,” the guy called to her with a smirk.
Alyssa didn’t even turn to him as she waved a
hand and said back, “Austin.”
They kept walking toward her house, but Reid
could tell when Austin noticed his eyes bythe way
he froze where he stood.
“Is that a droid?” he shouted. “What the—”
“Keep your voice down!” Alyssa snapped.Reid
noticed her glancing around, as if she was worried
about neighbors hearing there was anandroid with
her. She hadn’t seemed concerned about that
before, but now he wondered if she was.
Austin stalked across the grass of their two yards.
He didn’t even acknowledge Reid as he glared at
Alyssa. “You’re bringing one of them to your
house? So, what, you’re into droids now?”
Reid tensed as Austin said the offensive name for
androids—for the second time now—but Alyssa
stepped in before he could say anything. “Oh,
shut up,” she said. “We’re working on a class
project together ”

One famous archetype featured in Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet" is the theme of forbidden love. This archetype helps authors explore the theme of societal expectations versus personal desires. In the play, Romeo and Juliet come from feuding families, creating a conflict between their love for each other and their loyalty to their families. This exploration highlights the difficulties individuals face when navigating relationships within the constraints imposed by society, ultimately leading to tragic consequences.
In the context of the scenario you've provided, the interaction between Alyssa, Reid, and Austin can also reflect elements of conflict arising from societal norms and prejudices, similar to the conflicts faced by the characters in "Romeo and Juliet." Alyssa's concern about the neighbors overhearing her association with an android mirrors the societal stigma attached to their relationship, suggesting that their bond—or even a simple class project—may be viewed negatively by others. This mirrors the theme of belonging and acceptance in the face of societal judgment, much like Romeo and Juliet's love transcends their family's animosities.
