Not only is there a lack of communication between the parents and their children, but the parents also seem to have no interest in making an effort to know or understand their children.

Tragedies explore the downfall of a main character with a doomed fate.The play Romeo and Juliet written by the playwright William Shakespeare and the film adaption directed by Baz Luhrmann use imagery to make the audience aware of Romeo and Juliet’s doomed fate.

Luhrmann used costumes, weaponry, scenery, marriage, transportation and culture to create a modernized film meant to keep both Elizabethan and modern audiences entertained.

Of the two versions of Romeo and Juliet that we watched in class, I believe that the Luhrmann version was more compelling since it better conveyed the plot with a story and setting that is much more modern but helps one understand the plotline better.

In the Zeffirelli version of Romeo and Juliet, while the setting was much more realistic to what Shakespeare most likely visualized, the story was much more bland in my opinion due to the lack of intriguing elements in it. Because of the way Luhrmann directed the film in addition to its setting, it makes for a more compelling and memorable story.
