Capstone Project – Step 2

In my paper, I would like to examine

 stories of love turning into tragedy

 the consequences of social or societal conflicts as they affect relationships, with a special
focus on romantic relationships

through different adaptations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and the love depicted in them.
