Why is there a need for change in Shakepeare's Romeo and Juliet as well as in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Innocent people are dying in both stories. Because of
prejudices between two families, Romeo and Juliet both die. Sadly, two beautiful young
people lose their lives because two families cannot get along. The prejudice is
unnecessary. By the end of the story, two families unite because of Romeo's and Juliet's
deaths, but it is too late to bring their children
back.

The
Montagues and Capulets promise to end their hostilities, which have caused the deaths of
their only children.

In
To Kill A Mocking Bird, Tom Robinson dies because of prejudices. He
is condemned for a crime he didn't commit. In Maycomb, there is so much prejuduce
against blacks. Tom Robinson does not stand a chance in the town of Maycomb because he
is black.

Both these stories are based on the cruelty
associated with prejudices. Because people are ignorant in their prejudices, Romeo,
Juliet, and Tom Robinson die. It is a senseless shame that other people's prejudices
could cause innocent people to suffer death.
