Light In Romeo And Juliet

Even through the darkest times in life, there is always light. Moreover, light brightens to overwhelm the darkness. In Night by Elie Wiesel and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a major conflict exists to which people are killed from their violent and inhuman actions. These conflict last for so long, seeming as if there will never be a resolution.
