Choosing The Differences Between William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is about the dilemma of choosing love over loyalty for your family. In the story Romeo and Juliet come from separate families who hate each other, but still find love in each other. They get married without telling their families and eventually the two families get into a fight which ends in Romeo getting banished from the city where Juliet lives. They have a plan for him to get back into to the city to prevent Juliet from being forced to marry another man, but it fails and ends with the suicide death of both Juliet and Romeo. Shakespeare's major theme in the text is that Love plays a major role in our lives and can heavily affect our decisions.

The scene that was most different between the play and the movie of Romeo and Juliet was how the two crossed lovers first met each other. In the play Romeo and the Montague boys find out about the Capulet party through a poor peasant who could not read the invitations. While in the movie the Capulet party is announced through a newscast over T.V. I think the director changed this so the invite can go more along with the time period of the movie. This could change how the viewers see it by making the invite less secret. Over a newscast anyone who was paying attention to the T.V. could of heard the invite. Another main difference in this scene would be Romeo and Juliet first seeing each other in the bathroom across a fish tank rather than across the ballroom in the play. This could take away from the romantic side of the two first seeing each other. In the play it seems Romeo and Juliet have more privacy when they first speak to each other. In the movie the two are getting on and off an elevator just not to be seen. This could add more suspense to the scene and make the viewers see the movie from a lofty viewpoint.

The song “Michelle” by the Beatles and the story of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare both assist the notion of the male brain when a male becomes struck with love and how they handle their feelings in those moments. The song “Michelle” supports this idea because it exhibits portraying imagery of a French man trying to express his love to a woman, but not knowing how to do it. The man then uses his verbal gestures to speak to her in the best way he can. Likewise, Romeo and Juliet supports this idea because it expresses a character named Romeo that does his best to convey his love for Juliet but being dumbfounded and incapable of finding the right words to say. Romeo happens to be so awestruck with love that he mumbles and struggles to find the right words to win Juliet’s heart.

Romeo and Juliet’s families were fighting. There was three things and or people that got in the way of Romeo and Juliet. The two families named the Capulets and Montagues contributed. Mercutio taking Romeo to the Capulets party also contributed. The Friar and his three plans contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s passings too. The two families fighting, Mercutio taking Romeo to the party, and plus Friar Lawrence with his three plans contributed to the passing of Romeo and Juliet.

This book starts with Dane Kennedy waking up to a phone call from the hospital, telling him he is still listed as his ex-boyfriend's Power of Attorney and he should come to the hospital. Dane finds out his ex is deathly ill and goes through days in the ICU. Dane contacts ex's family and they hang up on him. He ends up having to pull life support. Dane is emotionally devastated. But he is the best man in his brothers wedding and flies to Granite County. There he meets brothers Vyce and Fyuri Romeo, who are in town because their brother is standing up in the same wedding. Vyce immediately wants to keep Dane, and Fyuri wants a to scratch an itch. They fight.

In Romeo and Juliet, the death scene is truly an emotional scene compared to all parts of the movie. The book and the movie have different aspects of why this scene is the same, but also has some parts to be different.

The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare has preformed, read, and adapted ever since it was written in the 1590’s. Even today the play is present in our culture. The relationship of the two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, are consistently referred to as star crossed lovers and as a tragic love story. Countless movies and plays were inspired by the story such as West Side Story, China Girl, and Gnomeo and Juliet. The common conflict of passion and responsibility is relatable for most which may be why it is so popular. Everyone has to make choices in their life and the characters of Romeo and Juliet are no different. Juliet’s choice between her passion for Romeo and the responsibility to her family is one that impacts the entire plot.

No one knows when William Shakespeare was born but it is estimated around April 23, 1564 his work was known from all over the world and is still known to this very day and some of his history is still unknown of his past. Some examples of his work is Romeo and Juliet, By 1592, there is evidence William Shakespeare earned a living as an actor and a playwright in London and possibly had several plays produced. William Shakespeare got married on November 28, 1582 to a woman named Anne Hathaway who was 26 years old while William was only 18 years old, and had three children named Susanna, Judith, and Hamnet, who ended up dying at the age of 11 years old.

Romeo and Juliet are known across the world for their deep love for one another, but, in reality, did they even know each other? Did they ever have the chance to develop a true love for one another or were they just teenagers, acting off impulse? Did they truly want the best for the other person, or did they just want the other person? First, we must examine the qualities of real love and the difference between true love and infatuation. We must look into the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, or the lack thereof, and determine whether or not Romeo and Juliet had enough time to get to know each other before they lunged into the deep commitment of marriage.

Romeo is a Montague, rival to the Capulet family. This is bad because he involves himself with Juliet who is a Capulet and they end up getting married. I decided to pick this character to analyze because I thought he was the most interesting to and is a main character. Personally, I do not identify with this character because he is not like who I am and he is completely not my type to date, but on the other hand I like his personality and heart. I like the way that he is a nicer guy who cares for who he dates, but I think that he cares too much to the point where he kills himself for a girl, and I wouldn’t want someone that clingy in my life. I believe that Romeo’s main attributes of himself are that he is

I recently went to go see Romeo and Juliet the play by William Shakespeare and I was really impressed by the acting and the story line of this play. The actress for Juliet really went for her role and was clearly invested in the role. The actor for Romeo really punched himself to fulfill this role and put forward the role of Romeo.We saw a beautiful array of costumes and an elaborate set and props.

While watching and comparing Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 interpretation of Romeo & Juliet and Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 version there is a great difference between the two. When comparing the two the big change is not only the setting but the whole vibe with the characters. In the 1968 version it stays true to the play rather than just in the 1996 version where it is more modern. It is not only more modern in clothing but with their weapons, which in the movie they used guns instead of swords. Then in the 1968 version they had clothing you would see in the time of Romeo and Juliet and they used swords. The quality of the movies showed great improvement with the camera works. It also showed how much technology has improved in that amount of time. That is just a minor scratch in the surface on the many differences between the two movies but they also have things that are similar.

While reading and watching Romeo and Juliet, I liked the movie the most. Throughout all three different types of Romeo and Juliet we watched and read, they were all different in their own special way; weather some of the characters were different than themselves in the other two types or they didn’t show up at all and they are a big part in the original Romeo and Juliet ect. Really there was no character that was the exact same in all 3 different types of Romeo and Juliet. They were either more talkative or more violent (Romeo), but I don’t think that there was a character that was the exact same from the play to the book, then to the movie. That is why I pick Romeo to compare and contrast in my first paragraph because he was the most different from the movie to the play to and/or and

Why is it that that the movie of Romeo and Juliet has a lot of different things compared to the play? In this essay I’m writing about the difference that the movie and play of Romeo and Juliet, and the similarities they have. The topic I’m discussing are, plot, character vs society.

Romeo and Juliet to modern people is without a doubt a strange and ludicrous book of love between two over dramatic teenagers. However in the story they seem to love each other but in my opinion Juliet loved Romeo in a much more truer sense. For example Juliet even though she seemed to have fallen for him for his looks had never been with nor loved another man before.
