How the social view of young teenagers' love has changed. Shakespeare saw love between 16 and 13 year-olds as a great romantic love. Today we would call it a crush or puppy love.
In fact, today the great conflict would be whether a high school sophomore is some kind of perv for trying to get with a 7th grade girl.

How about How the tragedy could have been prevented?
Why Billy Shakes decided to make this tragedy?
How does Romeo and Juliet's Experiance link to the present?

you could write about fate.
like the fatalistic love
actually, i have a better one
the dual nature of the play and of the characters.
the play has a dual nature because it is meant to be a tragedy.. but characters (such as mercutio) add a comedic element to it.
some of the character's personalities also have dual natures
examples:
juliet- loving/suicidal
capulet (in the party scene)- scolding his servant/commenting on the elaborate nature of the party
friar lawrence- wanting to help romeo&juliet/not wanting to get in trouble with their parents
paris- thinking juliet is too young to marry/desperately wanting to marry her in the end.
these are just some ideas.
you take it from here.
good luck!!!!!

all above have good ideas
my favorite is
"O Wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?": The Art of Wooing in Romeo and Juliet
This strategy asks students to compare "pick up lines" from Shakespeare's time and now.
Best Wishes.
