Saving Juliet

        One thing that really stood out to me in this movie was the relationship between Juliet and her parents. They had no idea what she wanted or how she wanted to live her life. They arranged her marriage to Paris and when she didn't want to marry him, her dad nearly beat her. But in the end he didn't because he didn't want to mark body before the wedding.
         In the book Saving Juliet her mother understands Juliet in the end and let's her go off with Romeo. But in the original and the movie, it's Lady and Lord Capulets hate of the Montague's that drives them to kill themselves. I think that in a parent child relationship it's important to let your child explore the world. And that if you don't trust your child to make the right choices and you make all their choices for them, then they will never grow or learn about how to make those right choices.
        In the book Burned in the House Of Night series by Kristen and P.C. Cast, a character named Stevie Rai ends up saving someone who is evil. But it's not that person that's evil, it's their father. He is just living in his fathers shadow. I feel like Juliet and all those before her had grown up to live in the hate of the Montague's. None of them probably know who the Montague's really are. But none of them get the chance to know because they were taught as little children to hate them. It's not something that can be helped. As a baby if you are taught something and you learn it repeatedly, then it will stick with you forever.
        In order for things to change, a generation has to change And that's what happened with Romeo and Juliet. They learned to love each other, and through their death, the feud was put to an end. But they shouldn't have had to have died. They probably don't even remember what the feud was about. And that is just sad.
