Culture Shock: Romeo and Juliet

It was pretty dificult to find something to blog about, but I found a story about a police officer who arrested a man who was about to kill his wife. The man was driving too fast and had his high beams on, which is a typical sign of a drunk driver, so the cop followed him. He pulled him over and searched the car and there was a gun. The guy with the gun broke down and was really overwhelmed because he was going to use that gun to kill his wife.

This exemplifies a theme from R&J which is said by Friar Laurence, "Young men's love then lies, not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes." This shows how the man married his wife mostly for good looks and not for true love, so that fake love ended up turning against him to hate.
