Romeo and Juliet-It's Everywhere!

Even though this was an example given, Twilight is a great modern take off of Romeo and Juliet, and I had to use it because I love Twilight.  Bella and Edward, like Romeo and Juliet are thought to be the exact opposite of meant for each other.  They are completely different from each other, but for some reason they cannot live without one another.  The people around the couples in both stories do not approve of their relationships.  However, all that really matters to them is that they get to be together.  Both couples fell in love the moment they saw each other.  Edward tries very hard to stay away from Bella to keep her safe, and Juliet tries to stay away from Romeo because she wants to obey her parents... but she only lasts for a very short amount of time.  Both couples are unique and although a strange combination, perfect for each other.
