A Comparison Of Romeo And Juliet

In the story Romeo & Juliet, I believe that it could have ended differently. Say that Romeo cried just a little longer. Then Juliet would have woke up and they would just move on as planned. Or they could have just left in the first place not telling anyone so they wouldn't have to worry about faking their death or being seperated. Lastly if Romeo didn't kill Tybalt then the two families wouldn't have went to the prince and they wouldn't have to worry about the prince finding out that it was Romeo that killed Tybalt and that Romeo's life would be on the line.

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and "Pyramus and Thisbee" by Ovid are stories about teenagers who face obstacles that complicate the love story which causes them to make desperate decisions in the end. Both of them have many similarities. However, they have small details that are different. Throughout each story, these decisions lead to complicated endings. In the beginning, in Romeo and Juliet and "Pyramus and Thisbee" they both have similarities through the connections of objects.

Secondly, Romeos and Juliets downfall is a result of their own poor decisions, or character flaws because they caused fights. Many fights could have been avoided if they did the things that they were supposed to do. Because Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo was looking for him so that they can fight. Romeo says, “This shall determine that”(Shakespeare 59, line 133). Their fight will determine who dies.

"Pyramus and Thisbe" by Ovid has a similar tragedy as William Shakesphere's Romeo and Juliet but is told in a different form. " Pyramus and Thisbe" and Romeo and Juliet both have ideas of how love will turn people into making bad decisions. These two stories are written into different plots. In "Pyramus and Thisbe" their parents forbid their love but in Romeo and Juliet their parents are feuding. In the story it says, "...in houses so close together that one wall was common to both.

Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation on Romeo and Juliet has many similarities and contrasting elements with the original, made by Shakespeare. The casting, special, and Scenery of the adaptation and the original all have some things in common or are contrasting to each other.

Could there ever be a film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that is as powerful and moving as the original play by William Shakespeare? Some people say that Romeo + Juliet, a film adaptation made in 1996 by Baz Luhrmann, is as good as the original. Some people disagree with that statement. The argument will be settled within this essay, as the similarities between the film and the play are laid out. The narrative and film techniques that the director used in the final scene brought dramatic and emotional feelings to the tragic death of the “star-crossed lovers” (Prologue, line 6).

I think you should let Romeo and Juliet be together for the following reasons. One, if Romeo and Juliet can love each other despite being from two families that hate each other then who is to say the two families can't get along just enough to let them be together. Two, if Romeo and Juliet were still here and did get married they could have brought there two families closer on a mutual agreement for the couple. Three, Romeo and Juliet are dead, they both killed themselves over each other because you didn't let them be together.

William Shakespear's drama book Romeo & Juliet takes place in Verona, Italy where the streets are divided between two groups of people, the Montagues and the Capulets. A boy named Romeo is a Montague and a girl named Juliet is a Capulet. The two of them saw each other at a party and supposedly fell in love. One theme of Romeo and Juliet that the story suggests is love v. infatuation. While some may believe that the central theme is that even though two groups of people dislike each other doesn’t mean love can't grow, I argue that Romeo and Juliet met and "instantly" fell in love might not be completely true – as evidence by WIlliam's Shakespear's use of dialogue, repetition, and tone. Do they really love each other internally or is it just a crush?

It is well known that there are two different versions of the play Romeo and Juliet in motion picture. They are both mind-blowingly amazing, with basically the same plot and storyline, but they are different in so many ways. The 1968 version is harder to understand because of the lack of necessary props and costumes, yet it is the classic version, so it is usually more favorable of the two. The 1996 version should be shown to high schoolers, as it is viewed as the easier version to understand because of its more modern setting, props, costumes, and the way the characters act with one another.

Many people believe that opposites attract, and in the novel Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, this belief is shown to be true, because two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, greatly contrast from one another, because Juliet is more mature and realistic, while Romeo is very much naive and careless, however their differences, these disparate characters fall in love. To begin, Juliet thinks about her choices and takes problems into consideration. For example, during the Balcony Scene, Juliet worries about the feud between hers and Romeo’s family and how that may affect their relationship. Although she carries a deep love for Romeo, she asks herself “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” (2.2.36).

Juliet suffered from immense amounts of emotional pain. Juliet suffers a more painful and agonizing journey than Romeo. This is because she feels like she betrayed her parents, she feels like it is her duty to listen to her parents and marry Paris, she feels guilty for Romeo’s death.

Romeo and Juliet tells the tale of two young lovers forbidden to be together because of the long-lasting feud between their two families. No matter what their families may think of each other Romeo and Juliet knew that their love for each other was true and they persisted in being with each other. The two bring out the best in each other and have done things that weren’t really thought of as things they would do prior to their meeting, for example, Juliet seems to have brought light into Romeo’s life as opposed to before they met when he came off as this depressed boy that was stuck on a girl that would never like him back. Juliet at the beginning didn’t really seem to be the type to rush into marriage, but after she met Romeo she instantly knew that

There was once a time where falling in love was a myth. You had to be assigned a partner to whom you shall spend your life with. Two young individuals changed this rule; Romeo and Juliet. These two fell in love after Romeo and his friends decided to crash a Capulet party. Juliet was a Capulet and Romeo was a Montague.

The leading example of the lesson taught is when Romeo and Juliet have their first night together. Their meeting arises immediate disregards to their families hatred for one another and results in plans for a secret marriage. It begins when Romeo goes to the Capulet ball with his friends and meets Juliet. Their exchanges are interrupted when Juliet must go to her Mother. Later, the nurse tells Juliet that Romeo is a Montague. Juliet overlooks this the extent of this issue and says, “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown; / and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me / that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 1.5.151,155). Juliet and Romeo both know that what they are doing is wrong, but Juliet

If someone meets someone one night and marries them the next day it can not possibly be true love. Maybe they like each other. OK. Sure I'll give 'em that, but they don't even KNOW each other and you can't really love someone when you hardly even know them. What truly happened is that they fell in love with the way each other looked and it gave them an excuse to help escape the problems they were having at the time.
