"If Romeo and Juliet had lived, do you think their love story would have ended as David and Harriet's one?" Préparer une intervention de 5 minutes à l'oral faisant la synthèse de ce premier dossier, et répondant à sa problématique ("Love between two people: a necessary confrontation with the outside world?") 

I think love, which is ideal and strong, doesn't last forever. Indeed, like Harriet and David, love is always confronted with the outside world and they are many hurdles to live happy. In my mine, if Romeo and Juliet had lived their love, it would have ended probably like Harriet and David because there is too many social pressures, dangers which could have threatened their love. Moreover Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have survived to their parents' authority and I think they would have destroyed themselves. Sometimes the every day life and the family kill the love. Romeo and Juliet would have been able to stop loving each other because of the everyday life. Furthermore, they idealized their love because it was forbidden, maybe in other circumstances they would not have loved each other. Although their love is ideal as David and Harriet, they would have been able to get out of breath and they would have probably stopped loving each other at the end of their life. I think that the absolute love is short-lived and cannot last a whole life. What makes it so beautiful is exactly that it is very short but that it challenges the laws and the customs of the universe.
