Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Most of them; I read a book where Romeo and Juliet was compared and contrasted with West Side Story which, while set a few decades back, is more contemporary than Romeo and Juliet is, and there were a lot of comparisons which still are relevant today, i!.e!. a love story, controlling parents on both sides, friends who just exacerbate the problem, etc!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com i think that's what's so great about shakespeare!. if you can get past the technical date of the plays and the huge language issue, these are great stories!!! they're practically soap operas but better!!! they're great stories that have survived hundreds and hundreds of years b/c they've always been applicable and entertaining to the society at the time!. and they will probably always be!.
