The Breakfast Club Teenage Rebellion
Rebellion comes in many forms, not only in teens but in children, movies, books, and music. Teen rebellion in specific is widely spread across the country in things such as movies, books, and music. For example, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet are two teenagers who rebel against their parents in an act of love. This can also be compared to the movie The Breakfast Club. Teen rebellion can not only found in movies but found in books, books like the book Paper Towns. Teen rebellion is constantly found in music like the song The Great Escape. There are so many more examples of teen rebellion in society today. But, not all of these are completely true to each and every teenager because every single one is at least slightly different.
In the Movie The Breakfast Club there are five teenagers who have gotten detention. While in detention they chose to follow the principles set by their principal. As in Romeo and Juliet, These teenagers did what they could to avoid directly confronting the adult by doing everything behind their Principal’s back. In The Breakfast Club not only did they break the rules but they found love along the way to their terrible choices. As well, in Romeo …show more content…
and Juliet, the main characters had chosen to go behind the backs of not only their parents but have others keep it a secret for them. In both of these they go behind the backs of the adults in the situation and disobey the rules and guidelines that have been set for them.
The book Paper Towns is a story about a girl who goes out of her way to run away and leave hints for one specific person to come find her.
After the character, Quentin, discovers these little mysterious hints he disobeys the police and goes looking after her with himself and both his and her friends. On a note related to Romeo and Juliet Margo, the girl who had run away, had tried to love someone before and thought that was her true love only to come to find that Quentin is actually her true love. This happens just as it does with Romeo when he believes that he is in love with Rosaline. However, when they both meet their actual true love it completely changes their mind about the person they had been with previously, It showed them all real love in the worst situations
possible.
The song The Great Escape constantly reminded me of Romeo and Juliet while listening to it even the very first time of hearing the song. The song states in the chorus, “We'll make the great escape and we won't hear a word they say they don't know us anyway”. The song is generally upfront with what it wants to reveal in every line. Unlike Romeo and Juliet, this song states exactly what it means in modern day English. Although Romeo and Juliet was written so long ago it still has references that are used now such as running away for love. It is not generally something that teenagers do but it is used in many cliche situations ,or a more obvious example, in music such as The Great Escape.
Throughout all three of these examples you can see a pattern of love and the sense of wanting to do anything for it. It is shown as a common theme that there are cliche love situations nowadays. Many people now refer to feelings like this as fake, but in real life situations there are a few actually like this but not in a literal sense. Saying the phrase, “I would die for love”, is a sentence people may state and not mean in a literal sense. However, in Romeo and Juliet they died for each other because they could not be together.
