Answer 1

Guadalupe García McCall’s "Shame the Stars" reimagines the themes of forbidden love and family conflict found in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" by exploring the struggles between two rival families in a contemporary setting. Just like Romeo and Juliet, the main characters must navigate their deep feelings for each other despite the tensions and prejudices that keep them apart.
