Comparing Romeo And Juliet

1) Before meeting Romeo, how does Juliet view the prospect of marriage? -Before meeting Romeo, Juliet viewed marriage as something that will exterminate the amount of power she has over herself. In Elizabethan times, once a woman married all their belongings would be her husband’s, the “Elizabethan Culture: Love and Marriage Four Centuries Ago” worksheet speaks much of this topic. They state that she would have no say in how he managed himself, his money, his property, her, his job, and the person he is in general. Juliet knew she would be counted as something that simply belonged to her husband and she was an accessory (almost).

The big talk with all teens these days, is romeo and juliet (not really). 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.

In the new Romeo and Juliet there was more emotion, and connection. Romeo expressed his love with deeper thoughts. It seems as if he does not do this in the old version as well as he does in the new. For example, at the balcony scene in the old version he is very emotionless. When he is expressing his feelings to Juliet he says everything with a very plain voice. In the new Romeo and Juliet he does the exact opposite. Instead, he says everything with a very powerful voice. This draws the viewers in because of how real the love connection between the two is.

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

Romeo is the lover in the story and hates to fight and always try's to stop people from fighting. Romeo and Juliet William Shakesspear Romeo and Juliet they fall in love at first sight and they have only known each other for a few days and they get married and kill each other.

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.

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.

William Shakespeare 's “Romeo and Juliet” have been remade countless of times, and each time in different ways. Most people are familiar with the tragedy of lovers known as Romeo and Juliet. Two interpretations of this story are the 2013 film by Carlo Carlei and the 2011 film by Kelly Asbury. The two movies have the same story line but are very different from each other. In the 2013 film known as Romeo and Juliet, the characters are the traditional version of the sonnet written from Shakespeare. Whereas the 2011 version, Gnomeo and Juliet, is a spin off Walt Disney version of the sonnet. In the two films they both have similar story lines, but with the main character, Romeo/Gnomeo, the language, romance, and ending is completely

I saw a movie, “Romeo+Juliet” a love story by William Shakespeare. Aristotle suggests that a hero of a tragedy must evoke in the audience a sense of pity or fear. Tragedy is an example of a movement that is serious, complete and of a certain magnitude. The movie starts with the fighting on the street between the two guys who belong to two different families Capulets and Montagues. Romeo is the son of Montague and he is in love with a girl Rosaline, but she does not love him. Romeo’s cousin Benvolio suggests him to forget the woman and find another. For a moment, Paris who is the relative of the Prince asks to marry Juliet. Juliet’s parents want her to marry the guy Paris. Juliet tells to her mother and nurse that she is not ready for the marriage,

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
