Romeo and Juliet – Conflict in Verona and San Diego!

Conflicts that exist in Verona that would take place in San Diego today are taking sides that interfere with each other like gangs, or disrespecting someone by flipping them off or biting your thumb at them, and also by adult pressure. The first example is when one side interferes with the other side and ends up fighting until the announcement of the prince coming. Another example is before that, when the guy bites his thumb at the other guy as a sign of disrespect and another way of flipping someone off. The last example is when Juliet’s mom and nurse try not to convince her into get married with a guy way older than her and is not yet fourteen but then discussed that the marriage would have to wait at least two years. This is relevant (connected to) modern life by gangs today, disrespecting people by flipping people off and teaching their kids right from wrong.
