ROMANCE!!

You could perhaps try and draw some links together between the
ideas of Romanticism and R&J. By this, I mean look at the parallels
between Shakespeare and 1700's English Literature (the 'Romantic' Age)
This deals with such things as unrequited love - Romeo's 1st love
in the play. Is it perhaps Romeo's search for the impossibleor
implausible love that makes him fall for Juliet in the first place?

Anyway, it's probably not much help, but good luck anyway!

Adam.
