William Shakespeare’s great tragedy Romeo and Juliet is a play which addresses
the ideas and dilemmas that have faced teenagers since it was written nearly 500
years ago. Three predicaments which are encountered in this play are teenage
suicide, rebelliousness, and love.  Romeo and Juliet  is the tale of two teenagers,
whose families are sworn enemies.  Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love.  Upon

Juliet’s families party so that he will get over Rosaline, whom he was pining over.

and even today girls become slightly obsessed with their first loves.  Juliet’s
obsession with Romeo is made evident not only in her soliloquy on the balcony, but
in her willingness to do anything to be with Romeo.  In Juliet’s soliloquy, she
speaks of her love for Romeo, and her desire to be with him despite their families.
Romeo now infatuated with Juliet instea...
