How might a modern writer reinterpret a myth about two people who fall in love even though their families are mortal enemies? a. remove all the conflict and just describe two people in perfect love. b. make the language simpler, but keep everything else exactly the same. c. keep the theme of forbidden love, but change the structure of the story. d. change the story completely to make it about a hero who saves society.

C. Keep the theme of forbidden love, but change the structure of the story.

A modern writer may keep the main theme of this type of classic story as it is the forbidden love of two people whose families are enemies. What the writer may reinterpret is the context. The writer can use a more contemporary context and vary the conflicts so they are more realistic for a 21st century story.
