Comparing William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, a shoemaker and a daughter of an affluent farmer in 1564. He was born on April 23, and baptised two days later. William attended the local grammar school, the King's Scchool. He was born and lived in a smal town called Stratford-upon-Avon about 100 miles west of London. Shakespeare had three younger brothers and two older sisters. Shakespeare never attended University. Because of the lack of records of when Shakespeare was a child,some people question his existence.

William Shakespeare was a world renowned poet and playwright, and his pieces as still read and talked about today. Son of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, he was born on April 23, 1564. He was the third of eight children in his sizeable family. He was baptized three days after his birth on the 26th of April in Stratford-upon-Avon near Birmingham, England. He most likely was educated at the King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford. At the school, he learned many new languages including Latin, Greek, and he read Roman dramatists which means he must of picked up a little Italian on the way. Throughout Shakespeare's early life his father, being the tradesman he was, struggled with debt. This meant that Shakespeare grew up poor and saw the worst of the human condition. He had to overcome many obstacles to get to the position he was in. He worked hard at life, and now he is considered one the best poets to ever write. He married Anne Hathaway at 18, and they had two daughters. A few years into his marriage he moved to London where he began his career in acting and playwriting. He died on his birthday, April 23, 1616. He was then

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.

This book starts with Dane Kennedy waking up to a phone call from the hospital, telling him he is still listed as his ex-boyfriend's Power of Attorney and he should come to the hospital. Dane finds out his ex is deathly ill and goes through days in the ICU. Dane contacts ex's family and they hang up on him. He ends up having to pull life support. Dane is emotionally devastated. But he is the best man in his brothers wedding and flies to Granite County. There he meets brothers Vyce and Fyuri Romeo, who are in town because their brother is standing up in the same wedding. Vyce immediately wants to keep Dane, and Fyuri wants a to scratch an itch. They fight.

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

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

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.

Juliet suffered from immense amounts of emotional pain. Juliet suffers a more painful and agonizing journey than Romeo. This is because she feels like she betrayed her parents, she feels like it is her duty to listen to her parents and marry Paris, she feels guilty for Romeo’s death.

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.

I think you are more beautiful than the sun.when I first saw you I thought you were a agull. I saw you at the dance and you looked back.

How different can a play and two movies be when they all tell the same story? The play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the movie “Romeo and Juliet” (1968), and the film “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet” (1996) vary greatly from one to the other; however, they all express the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet. These two movies should be described as accurate representations of the original play, despite their disparities from each other. The costuming used in these two films clearly exemplifies the time periods of the story and how character’s styles showcased their lives.

William Shakespeare's ‘The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’ is a tale about two children from rivalry houses who fall deeply in love with each other after meeting at a party. The two lovers get married, yet due to the fact they cannot be together and other events in between, both characters commit suicide at the end, leaving their families heartbroken and the readers in awe. With the crude lines with explicit meaning, two rivalries falling in love, and the death of these two lovers, this can certainly be called a tragedy. However, although the original story is a tragedy, it can be easily spotted that this is nothing more than a sad comedy. With explicit scenes, terrible characters, this story is exposed to be nothing more than a farce of a tragedy and more a comedy. Juliet is a psychotic character, Romeo is a suicidal rabbit, and most of the script is very lewd and explicit. All of these elements create a more laughable story, tragedy in some ways, yet cringe-worthy and laughable. The double suicides, the multiple

1. In this scene, Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet at first sight. He desires Juliet to something very “bright”(1.5 Line 51) as “a rich jewel”(1.5 Line 53) and how beautiful she is compared to other ladies. Romeo uses figure of speech as he compares her to many different types of things, for example, a “snowy dove”(1.4 Line 55) as they are beautiful to “crows”
