Well, alike my other blog, this one also happens to be late, so it makes it a little harder to do what's asked specifically.
Juliet, not allowed to marry her Romeo, is told to marry the man her father chose for her, Paris. Although she doesn't want to, it's against her will, whether it good or not. This is one of the many conflicts around love in this extremely romantic novel, and one that ends the lives of these star-crossed lovers.
When I was about 6 or 7 my mom taught my Sunday-school class. It was boys and girls, and my mom really wanted me to have a crush on this one boy, we'll call him Chris. Sometimes to make her happy, I would say I thought he was cute, but really I liked this boy named Garrett, whom she thought was a brat. I remember telling her I liked him one day, thinking she would flip out, but instead she laughed and told me she knew the whole time!
Romeo and Juliet didn't end that way, but then again, most similar situations have their differences.

Romeo and Juliet Comparison
I apologize for the late blog, the internet literally turned back on like ten minutes ago.
Although I could probably search for a story on the web for a similar story to Romeo and Juliet, I'd rather use a story that I know personally, my mom and dad!
A little more than 15 years ago, my mom was engaged to this guy whose name was Stewart. He took my oldest brother Will as his son, and they all planned to move into a house together. When summer came d the corner, baseball season started up, and my mom was on the same team as Stewart and his best friend, Kyle Gubbe. As the season went on, my mom and dad became closer, and Stewart and my mom became more distanced.
I'm an August baby, and although I really don't like to think about this, my parents got together for the first time that fall, and the outcome was me. My mom and Stewart were still together, but I was definitely my father's child.
My mom and dad weren't supposed to be together, my grandparents didn't like him(I don't really blame them) and he was bestfriends with my moms fiance; but in the end they were together, for the next 12 years or so. They weren't married until I was almost one, but their love lasted more than a decade. It wasn't quite as powerful as the love Romeo and Juliet shared, hence them not being together anymore, but at first my mom said their "love was lovely", and that's all that counts I think.
