I have an essay i need to write and the questions i need to answer are "Why do you think Romeo and Juliet remains so popular?"and "What is it about the characters of Romeo and Juliet that makes it so easy for young people to relate to them?" I need two example from the play to support my ideas.

Question

I just started this essay so i don't have much information on the question yet. I was thinking about answering the first question by talking about the dialogue of the play. I think that a reason why Romeo and Juliet is still so popular is because the dialogue is very old and very touching. I just need some help on gathering some ideas to write about or some good sources that could be useful to my question.

Answer 1

I disagree.

Why are there so many modern stories with a Romeo and Juliet theme? Think about "West Side Story."

Answer 2

And "The Titanic."
