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.
