Was Shakespeare a psychic? Romeo and Juliet, the play that Shakespeare wrote hundreds of years ago exampled how the young teens fall in love and disobey their parents. Sound familiar? Well that's because that is how teenagers act present day.
It's definitely not a rare occurrence to witness two young premature teens fall madly in love. And in most cases this happens over and over again. Romeo is simply just another typical teenage boy who sees a pretty girl and is automatically in love. Then when an even prettier girl comes alone, he just switches his mind no problem. That's just the hormones taking over. It's how the brain of an average boy works and that hasn't changed for centuries. But it's not just Romeo who has similarities to the present day teen; Juliet acts like an everyday girl. First she played the hard to get card, then she lost it and indulged herself and went head over heals for the dreamy boy. Romeo and Juliet took it a little far with the whole suicide mishap, nowadays teens boringly sent a text if something is wrong, but where's the fun in that? No matter where you travel in the world or research back a few centuries, the basic teenagers acted the same.
Following the instructions and listening to rules of parents aren't usually bearable for teens. It's a difficult task to manage relationships and drama, but then trying to incorporate orders from the parents, well that's an accident waiting to happen. Surprisingly, it's truly how teenagers act in the modern day and it's exactly how Romeo and Juliet maneuvered as well. Even though both lovers were from rival families, they continued their relationship and even took the whole deal to the next level and got married. Also after Romeo murdered Juliet's cousin and got banished, they still didn't want to obey their parents because they were in love. In most cases, the parents are actually right. They have way more experience in life, except teens still only seem them as obstacles.
No, maybe Shakespeare wasn't a true psychic but just very observant. Teenagers have always and will always have hormonal love rages and random outburst. It's how we were created and simply adds an excited stage in life.
