The story of Romeo and Juliet is in many ways similar to modern love story situations. There is always something in the way.Romeo and Juliet cannot be with each other because of their family name. Nowadays some parents don't let children date because of either religion, race, or economic status.
Parents are a big influence in the modern day couples as well as in Romeo and Juliet. One way that they are influences is that for some reason people now think that parents have to either approve or disapprove of the relationship. They let the parents decide if the relationship is wrong or right. Another way is sometimes parents tell their children who they should be dating or what type of person they should like. In modern times parents are influencing these decisions that affect their child's future. For example in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's parents want her to marry Paris. They know that Juliet does not love Paris but they want her to marry him because he is too from their economic and social status. When they tell Juliet that she is to marry Paris she refuses, and her father threatens her and tells her that she does have to marry Paris.
Parents are judge mental when it comes to what religion or race the person who their daughter/son is dating. Some parents think it is wrong for their child to be dating someone from a different religion just because they might have different beliefs and are scared that their child will be influenced.They also judge the person their child is with depending on what race they are and the background of the person's family. In the older times this was similar that people would only marry people from the same race and cultural boundaries. They would think that because someone did not come from their country they were automatically different and you couldn't trust them. Similar to this in Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets do not like the Montagues. They do not get along with them because in their society the Montagues are like the lower class and the Capulets are upper class. This gives the Capulets enough reason to belittle the Montagues.
Parents strictness causes young to rebel because they have different ideas from their parents.Young teens are more open to different people from other cultures/religions. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet doesn't feel the same way about the montagues as her parents do. As a result of her feelings she rebels against her parents by being with romeo and she let's her love for Romeo influence her decisions. This is similar to modern days because nowadays teens go behind their parents back to be with the person they really want to be with.
Overall most of the problems and situations that teens face in relationships haven't changed. In modern days Parents are still very important in these relationships and they play a huge role. Overtime nothing has really effected how parents are when it comes to their children being in relationships.
