the interpretation our group chose was the evolution of the character prince into police chief. In my eyes i don’t believe that this is a massive change of character as they are both in around the same position of authority over Verona or in this case New Mexico. I believe that the change is just really the change of name as his authority over everyone else isn’t changed but i think it is a good adaptation of characters for a modern day version of romeo and Juliet.

I think you’re right. I love the two photos.
The change is very large in some other ways though. A prince inherits his power and is also the owner of the city – whereas the police chief in the US is a job you are appointed to.
I think it’s a good match because it’s clever, and because it works, it seems obvous to us, but I wonder if we would have been able to come up with this idea ourselves?
