Twilight is a novel about a young human who falls in love with a vampire, even though it is difficult for them to be together. Which work by William Shakespeare most likely influenced this book?
Answer
A
The Taming of the Shrew, about a woman who must wait for her older sister to marry before she is permitted to get married
B
Much Ado about Nothing, about a series of romantic misunderstandings that ensue after a group of soldiers returns home
C
The Tempest, about a father who plots to have his 15-year-old daughter restored to her rightful place in the kingdom
D
Romeo and Juliet, about two teenagers who are kept apart by their feuding families despite their best efforts
Explanation
Twilight centers on a romance between two young people who face serious obstacles to being together. Romeo and Juliet is the closest match because its teenage lovers are kept apart by their families’ feud, much as Bella and Edward’s relationship faces barriers. The other plays do not focus on lovers separated by this kind of conflict.
