Where Is Romeo & Juliet? Oh, Now I Remember, Its Everywhere!

Dear Readers,

In my humble opinion Shrek the movie is very much like Romeo & Juliet. It includes R&J's timeless story of a forbidden love and an unexpected match. There are also some character matches such as Donkey and Benvolio. They both are the best friend that tries to take control and wants their friend to be happy, even if their friend is hesitant at first.  If you have never seen Shrek i will give you a quick synopsis. A scary ogre agrees to save a beautiful princess from a tower. He finds out that she turns into an ogre every night. and they eventually fall in love. But they are not supposed to be married because she is, well, a human and he an ogre. There is also another man that wants her hand in marriage. Just like Paris wants to marry Juliet. But in the end Shrek and his love get married. A happier ending then that of R&J.

Love, Amaya
