Compare And Contrast The Version Of Romeo And Juliet

The most obvious, and first difference comes in the first act of Romeo and Juliet and the first scene of Gnomeo and Juliet, when the main characters are introduced (Act 1. Scenes 1-5. Lns. 1-45). In the modern take on the story that is shown in Gnomeo and Juliet the characters are depicted as gnomes. While in the original plot the character are humans. This is clearly a huge difference between the original story and the ageless original.

Some differences in the time period that I noticed were the members of the Capulet and Montague families had arranged marriages. An arranged marriage means the parents tell their children who they want to marry. After their parents tell them who they think their child should marry, the marriage ceremony will be arranged. I think that Shakespeare put arranged marriages into the play because he is trying to show us what happen in the 15th century. In the play, they actually experience it. In the movie, they are showing that they are doing a news article about the marriage. Also, I was expecting to see a little bit more of an older movie scene. The movie has a ton of differences, but they are good differences.

Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she is to marry Paris. Juliet attends a ball. Romeo decides to go to the ball to see Rosaline. At the ball Romeo meets and falls in love with Juliet, only afterwards do they discover that their families are sworn enemies. Shakespeare uses metaphors to defend Dostoevsky’s idea. The Friar gives her a bottle containing substance which will make her appear dead for 48 hours. His plan is to write to Romeo so that he will be there when she wakes up. She develops a sense of fear and is very hesitant on taking this potion. Shakespeare uses detailed imagery and diction to express her feeling towards taking this potion. Juliet eventually takes the potion. Her family mourns her death. Romeo sees Juliet who he thinks is dead and poisons himself. Friar Lawrence arrives too late to save Romeo. Juliet wakes to find Romeo dead and kills herself with his dagger. The ending of this novel is affected by the lie Juliet tells by faking her own death. This results in the death of Romeo which therefore results into Juliet having regret and killing herself. Defending Dostoevsky’s statement, Romeo and Juliet is a great example of this specific quote.

Romeo was responsible for what happened to Juliet and him because he fell in love with Capulet and he was a Montague. This means he knew that his and her parents are not going to agree to their marriage. Their families were arguing because Benvolio of the Montague household fights Tybalt of the Capulet household and ends up killing Tybalt. But Romeo decides to take that risk and goes introduces himself at the Capulet Ball not knowing who she is in the beginning. But when he found out he still kept contacting her in different ways for they could not get caught that they are seeing each

The play Romeo and Juliet has been recreated many times and each story changes the plot and certain feelings. The setting varies a lot in each movie, for example, the original version is in the 1400s and the Dicaprio version is in the 2000s, so a big time difference with all of them. Not only are the settings different the character can be interpreted in very different ways, like how you can compare Romeo and Tony from The original play and West Side Story, you can very easily see the difference in character development and personality. All of these movies essentially handle the same story differently but you can still easily see how they all come from Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet is responsible for her and Romeo’s death. When he killed Mercutio he had to leave the city. Her mother and father still wanted her to marry Paris but she did not want to so she went to the Friar and he gave her a potion that made her sleep for 2 days straight. Her family thought she was dead so they put her in the tomb. That caused Romeo to drink poison and kill himself when Juliet woke up and saw he was dead she stabbed herself. That caused the family feud to die down and they became friends. Romeo and Juliet fell in love when they first saw each other. Romeo was head over heels for Juliet even though she was the enemy's only daughter. He used to be in love with Rosaline before he met Juliet at the Lord Capulet's party.

In the modern story the characters are more caring and loving. Montague and Capulet are friends but they don't show it to their kids. Romeo is a bit shy and Juliet is more of the aggressor. Juliet tell Romeo that she likes him and he tell her the same thing. Just like in the original the two fall in love right away. Like in the original Montague and Capulets dispute keeps Romeo and Juliet apart. Romeo and Juliet work together to try and get their parents to approve of them. The plan works, Romeo and Juliet can be together and Montague and Capulet can be be friends without hiding

The first thing that would be different about the Romeo and Juliet story was if Juliet was never in the story. If Juliet was never in the story Romeo would have never met her at the Capulet mansion. Also if she were never in the story the story would probably be called the story of Romeo and Rosaline. Then Romeo would be trying to convince Rosaline not to be a nun. He would be very emotional about Rosaline for the whole story.

Romeo & Juliet is one of the most famous plays of all time. All most ever person in the world has heard of this play and the author William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is one of the first authors to have a play start off as a comedy but ends up as a tragedy. A lot people have even tried to turn Romeo & Juliet into a movie. The most successful at this has been Baz Luhrmann with his star cast; and his use of the exact lines in the play makes his version one of the best remakes of the play. William Shakespeare and Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo & Juliet is similar, but the key differences are the nurse monologue being left out, the death scene, and guns replacing swords.

Romeo and Juliet die because of their family feuds and the couple breaks up because of their families arguing all the time. Some difference is that the end of the play it was too late for Montague and Capulet to make things right and letting Romeo and Juliet be with each other. Another difference is the movie is about a wedding and the lovers getting stress

Toward the beginning of the book Romeo was sad and depressed over a girl named Rosaline.

In Act 3 Romeo is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt as an act of revenge for the death of Mercutio. While Romeo is living in Mantua Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris, so Juliet and Friar devise a plan. They decide that Juliet will take a sleeping potion and trick her family into thinking she is dead. Juliet's family will bury her in the family tomb. Romeo will wait in the tomb for Juliet to wake and they will both run off to Mantua to live happily ever after.

In the modern version, the only different character was a kidnaper. What was also different was that it don’t have all the important characters, like Benvolio, Tybalt, and Mercutio and much more. But they did have similarities. The character they both had was, of course, Romeo and Juliet and Lord Capulet and Lord Montague.

Luhrmann’s adaptation keeps the classic story of Romeo and Juliet true. This is seen by still having the constant feud between the Montague and Capulet family and the countless tragedies, yet Luhrmann adds a 20th century twist by using guns instead of swords and replacing horses with cars. The main characters remain as Romeo and Juliet, although there is a greater focus on them than their parents. The events take place in Verona, however, it is at Verona Beach in Florida, not Italy. All of Luhrmann’s alterations to the original have been done

Romeo and Juliet is an excellent play and movie although they are different in their own ways. There are major similarities and minor differences including deaths and characters. Most of the scenes were the same including the short scenes. In the movie and play, Act I and Act II are very similar to each other yet very contrasting. The first similarity between the play and the movie was that there are several fights.
