Answer 1

An advantage that would be available today that would have altered the outcome of the play is modern technology. They could have communicated what was happening much faster by texting rather than a messenger who just happened to be too late. Romeo and Juliet think irrationally similar to teens today. If I were Juliet’s close friend I would have advised her not to fake her death. This play defines love as a tragedy that absolves hatred between two groups. I think Juliet is to blame as she should have known there was a possibility of her message to Romeo being too late.
