These examples are relevant today where people still seek revenge when they are offended.
Instead of responding immediately in anger we should step back and give ourselves time to think clearly.
If they had taken a step back Sampson and romeo may had chosen forgiveness instead. Rendering the end much different. We see that these themes that were present in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, were present in Biblical times, and even in our modern day. We find this theme of revenge in the world that we are presently living in. Taylor Swift’s - an iconic pop artist - music clearly shows revenge. Though the tunes are catchy and clever, the reputation for her music is simply taking revenge on all the men that have done something wrong. It is her form of revenge in the simplest way. Though it may not be as severe as the story of Samson or Romeo and Juliet, this just shows that this pattern has continued on for decades. Shakespeare has found a to take this recurring theme of revenge and write it into his plays. The lessons learned from Shakespeare's plays can be applied hundreds of years later in modern times.
