Twilight
This play relates to the Movie Twilight. This is because of the love triangles. Twilight also has a complicated love circle of the charcaters.

This play also reminds me of Titanic. Rose was supposed to marry someone who she wasn't in love with because of her families orders, she then fell in love with Jack.

Main topic

1. Love is very complicated
This is because there are a lot of relationships and each characters is in love with each other. It is basically a love square and this play shows us how difficult it is for love to be easy. Not everyone is meant to be in this play.
