Romance in Literature

" (II.ii.57).
             Convinced that their love was pure, Juliet has been sold, in an unconventional act for a woman in those times, she takes the initiative and plans their future together;.
             "If that thy bent of love be honourable,.
             Thy purpose of marriage" (II.ii.143-144).
             Leading to the departure of Romeo and Juliet from the balcony scene, Shakespeare has made use of juxtaposition when Juliet sullenly states, "Parting is such sweet sorrow" (II.ii.184).
             Upon examining this passage, Romeo and Juliet must have fallen deeply in love for the "woman" of the relationship to already be planning the wedding. Despite the fact that this was profoundly unconventional in the time, it shows how much society has evolved, as it has been known to happen in more modern times. .
             Similar to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", James Cameron's blockbuster - Titanic is a true romance story based upon the forbidden love shared between Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) and Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), which lead to the inevitable end of the ship, Titanic.
             Rose, who was brought up "the way all wealthy girls should be" falls in love with Jack who was a lowly 3rd class passenger, who won is ticket on a lucky hand of poker. However, the situation wasn't that easy, there were certain obstacles in which the couple had to overcome. With Rose being a high-class, wealthy girly, she was expected to marry someone equally, and if not more wealthy. The complication was that Rose was already engaged to Cal Hockley - a devious character, yet the heir to profound wealth, "Jack, I"m engaged, I"m marrying Cal, I love Cal". .
             Rose's mother, Ruth also disapproved of Jack and Rose's relationship as she reminds Rose each day that their "Situation is precarious, you know the money's gone." .
             This masterpiece, imitates the same troubles in Romeo and Juliet that a family and society can give to a relationship. Stated early in the movie and repeated for effect, the quote of Jack, when Rose was close to committing suicide was "You jump, I jump" which begins the story where Rose and Jack fall in love.
