Comparing Romeo And Juliet

I’m starting at where Romeo killed Tybalt, and switching it. A friend of Romeo is angry and kills Tybalt. The Prince is disgusted in how this senseless feud and fighting has become. Then it switches to Juliet, sitting in her room after hearing the news. She cries at first, but cannot cry anymore for Tybalt. Her mother comes in and they talk. Juliet tells her mother that she will willingly marry Paris, but only if they let her wait for a week and mourn for her cousin. Her mother, happy, runs to tell her husband the news. He’s just as happy that she’s being “reasonable”. Juliet, however, has different plans. She plans to run away. She just doesn’t know how though. Three days pass, and juliet still mourns for her cousin, but her mind is on Romeo. A girl

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

Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a story that will live on forever in the world of literature. This story illustrates how two people can have an instant connection but not really love and because of the dramatic way it’s portrayed it may send a false message to many youth today. I feel that the way Shakespeare portrayed love in this story is overdramatized and does not reflect how it would or should happen in real life. In my personal opinion, love is something that you have to work on. In the story, Romeo and Juliet constantly say how much they love each other and can’t live without each other, however, I feel that you should know someone for a while before professing your love and undivided attention. I also believe that Romeo and Juliet are much too young to be having these feeling and actively pursuing them, I feel the feelings between Romeo and Juliet have is more like lust than love.

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.

As a child, I used to be very open and told my mom and friends everything of what was going on in my mind. Since my father’s death, as years went by, I started to close up more. Juliet has a hard time explaining her emotions to her parents because she fears criticism from them and feels as if they won’t understand. Parents do critique their children and often, they don’t always understand.

The tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet is one of the most well known plays in the world. Zeffirelli and Lurhmann manage to portray this tragic tale in different ways in their film versions of Romeo and Juliet. In Zeffirelli’s 1968 film version, the director brings the story to life as an almost exact adaptation of the play. Preferring to stick to the original settings and script, the film clearly conveys the plays emotions and thrilling narrative. On the contrary, Lurhmann’s 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet manages to tell the story using a more modern approach to the tale.

Romeo and Juliet; a classic tragedy of two lovers who cannot be together due to circumstances beyond their control. The story has been done by various movies, many of which change certain aspects in an attempt to breathe new life into this age old tale. In 1996, Director Baz Luhrman took the story and placed it in a modern setting where the two rival families are mafia families. This sounds like an interesting take on the story and it certainly was, but the movie turned out as a complete mess.

Furthermore, the play also incoperates tragedy since Romeo's companion Mercutio is slain after dueling with Juliet's cousin Tybalt. In act 3 scene 1 Mercutio and Benvolio are standing outside when Tybalt comes around picking a fight with Mercutio. Mercutio and Tybalt than duel and while Romeo tires to stop both of them Tybalt takes the opportunity and stabs Mercutio in the chest. This is tragedy as Romeo's companion and best friend dies at the hand of his loves cousin. Thus proving that the play Romeo and Juliet revolves more on tragedy than love.

Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lover of the tragic love story written by William Shakespeare. It’s about two lovers who fell in love but they are both from rival family-Montague and Capulet families. Even after 400 years, this story is consider one of the most famous, and the greatest love story is ever written in history. Throughout the generations, Romeo and Juliet will be recognized for a great piece of literature that shows many dynamic characters, actions, and drama which grabs a large audience. Many prototypes were created followed by this including two famous movies. In 1968, the movie is starring Leonard Whiting and In 1996, it’s starring Leonardo Dicaprio. Two of movies are accurate to the original story. Everyone has the right to remain opinionated on which story is the finest or more accurate. It is my belief that the Shakespearean version of Romeo and Juliet most accurately perceive the story of these two lovers because of scenery, characters, and storyline (plot).

William Shakespeare’s famous ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was reinvented in 1996 as “Romeo + Juliet” and was directed by Baz Luhrmann. Luhrmann’s interpretation has turned Shakespeare’s traditional tale of a tragic love story into a modern and urbanised 20th century version.

He’s gone. He’s actually gone. I never thought he would leave me. I never thought he would end up dead. Yes I ran from him, yes I was cruel… I was only protecting myself. My heart was broken before and I knew it was to happen again, so I ignored him so no feeling wou’d come of my sad heart. And then he came to a Capulet party. My uncle’s party. He came for me. He was so persistent, so kind through my hate. Then he runs off with my dear Juliet. I know I did’t love him, everyone knows that, but he didn't have to run off with my cousin… I shouldn't be mad at her, she couldn’t have known, I was as cold as a winter's night. No, I was worse than that, I don’t know how he could have even loved me for as long as he did. Of course he couldn’t have loved me that much if when he

The poisoned youth that's what we are. Our generation is filled with lies and secrets a time where everyone knows everyone's business and rumors spread quick. Some people say that before us, teenagers were more respectful towards their parents and listened to them well, but is that really true? In the olden days kids still disrespected their parents they just didn't know.

O Juliet, Juliet, wherefore art thou Juliet? Even so, I still love you since tonight we met. The first I set sight of you at the party, my dear,
