In the beginning, in Romeo and Juliet and "Pyramus and Thisbee" they both have similarities through the connections of objects.

The tale of Romeo and Juliet is extraordinary. The original story is very good and very well written. The more modern story is very different from the original. In the original the families hate each other, in the modern the families are actually friends. This is what I found to be the same and different about the two stories.

Before revealing himself to Juliet, Romeo says “O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art / As glorious to this night, being o’er my head, / As a wingèd messenger of heaven…” (2.2.29-31). In this quote we see Romeo comparing Juliet to an angel; he compares her to a heavenly messenger, a holy being, a divine spirit. This is not something one just says about some random bloke they find on the street who looks attractive; this is something that one says to someone who they love, cherish, and adore.

Dear, J You seem too worried that you are not in love with R anymore. Maybe you aren’t in love. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet said “My love sprung from my only hate!”(Act I scene 5), maybe in your case that is what happened, and now he is your hate and no longer your love. “Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs”(Act I scene 1). Romeo says this to mean that love is smoke, it blinds you and it stings.

They are all wondering the same exact question: Whose fault is it that romeo and juliet went through their horrible tragedy together. Is it the families?... Romeo?… The friar?… Well, you guessed it in the title. It is all juliet's fault that all of this ever went down. The main idea of the essay today will be how juliet messed up everything. Yes, there were many other people that contributed to their deaths, like the nurse, but the main problem of all of this, is Juliet. I will talk about her main mess ups and how she could have fixed these problems.

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.

After both reading the text and viewing the 1996 film the medium that best delivers Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, especially the balcony scene, is the text. To begin, the play has a much tenser, suspenseful mood compared to the movie. "'To lure this tassel gentle back again! Bondage in hoarse and may not speak aloud, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies'" (II.ii.160-163). In the previous quote Juliet it speaking to Romeo and telling him that her parents are nearby and that they must whisper. This allows for a much more suspenseful mood, because the reader knows that at any moment the star-crossed lovers could be caught by Lord and Lady Capulet. Additionally, the text portrays Shakespeare's story better because Juliet is standing

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 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

The narrative poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” by Publius Ovidius Naso is a fascinating piece of work that had a great impact on the illustrious poet William Shakespeare. Recounting a riveting tragic love story, the poem intrigued Shakespeare; thus, it influenced him significantly as he composed his own story of love, the famous play, Romeo and Juliet. The poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” and the play Romeo and Juliet are different in many regards, but also have numerous similarities. One notable difference between these authors’ works exists in how each author employs the literary device of apostrophe. In “Pyramus and Thisbe,” Ovid exercises an apostrophe as he shows the lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, speaking to the “jealous wall” that is between them, which represents their families obstruction in their love.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare about two young lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their families. It was one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. Baz Luhrman made a film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet’s film adaptation was intended for teenagers and old target audiences because teenagers are interested in seeing Leonardo Di Caprio act as Romeo and because they fantasize in having that sort of relationship that Romeo and Juliet have. Adult audiences would watch the film as a memory of the story in a film and additionally because they like Shakespeare.
