Comparing Two Similar Yet Far Worlds


In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, both children are not close to their parents. Romeo hasn't even got a relationship with his parents, and it seems like they completely neglect him since there is no conversation between them in the play. Even at the beginning, Montague leaves Benvolio to talk with Romeo because he doesn't feel like it. Juliet's parents think they know best for her, and act and think that denying them is like breaking the law.

In Honey Hunt, the main character, Yura, is the daughter of two famous stars, her mother an actress and her father a musician. Yura has never been close to her parents, either.

What both these sets of parents have in common? They are famous. They are well known, rich and stand tall with dignity. They think they're so great, but they really aren't - at least, not to their children. This made me wonder if this is what it is like for children of actors and singers; are they really loved by their parents? Do their parents really care about them? Madonna is a good person, she adopted many children, right? Well, what if they really are neglected? In Honey Hunt, Yura's mother was voted "Best MOther" for actresses, but that really wasn't true. Maybe people really don't know anything unless they walk two moons in another man's moccasins. >Walk Two Moons<
