Answer 2

Answer: Romeo and Juliet, the classic piece of literature, and West Side Story, the iconic sixties musical show clear resemblances. Whether it be for the two rivalries, the star-crossed lovers, or the intense violence between them it's very clear how similar they are. For example, focusing on the diverse opposing groups between the two texts really shows how similar a play written in 1595 can be to a twentieth-century movie. When looking through a Postcolonial lens, both Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story use tribe rivalries to drive the plot.
