Romeo and Juliet / Titanic ~ work in progress
In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters were not supposed to marry each other; they were star-crossed lovers. Their love for one another was so strong that the rules could not get in their way for visiting each other. While Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet, it was tough to sneak around to visit each other. They were ambitious to see one another whenever they have any spare time. A few days after they met, they asked Friar Laurence to marry them. However, Juliet’s parents did not approve.

The setting in Titanic is on the Atlantic Ocean making its way to New York around 1912. However, Romeo and Juliet took place way back in the early 1590’s in Verona and Mantua.

I personally think Rose and Jack had it worse because they were trapped on a boat so they couldn’t go anywhere to leave their families behind. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet could have left their fighting families and started a new, happy life
