In Francine Rivers novel A Voice In The Wind the main character Hadassah was taken as a slave and brought to a very high aristocratic house in Ancient Rome. There she falls in love with Marcus the son of political man. Marcus then falls in love with Hadassah. But like Romeo and Juliet they cannot get married. Marcus is not allowed to marry a slave and Hadassah cannot marry him because of differences in religion. Much like the differences between the Montagues and Capulets. Francine Rivers use of mythological references is also similar to that of Shakespeare. In the end they love they have for each other allows them to be together.
