Romeo & Juliet in the Modern World

Balcony Scene: Romeo & Juliet
The story of Romeo and Juliet is hundreds of years old; however, its themes still are very much apart of our modern world.  For example, forbidden love, the power of fate, vengence & hate are powerful themes in Romeo & Juliet.  Think about the music that you listen to, the tv shows that you watch, the books you read, or the movies that you enjoy--can you think of any that have similar themes to Romeo and Juliet? What from our modern world can you connect to Romeo and Juliet? How or why does it connect?
