Once you have finished the class work, you need to complete the following creative/empathy exercise:
One of the central themes in Romeo and Juliet revolves around relationships and love, but it also links to the influence of family members on such a relationship. You are to write a diary entry that explores the following scenario.
It is 2010 and a girl in her late teens has started dating a guy that she believes is her true love. Unfortunately, her parents, family and friends don't approve of him and are trying to force her to dump him. Her parents have even gone so far as to say that they will disown her if she doesn't cut all contact with this guy. In her diary she writes down her feelings about the whole situation. What does she write?
In your response, consider where in the world this girl lives, what her family situation is, what her social status is, what it is about the guy that her family and friends dislike, etc.
