Comparing William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Friar Lawrence: Here, this will make you sleep for 42 hours and make you appear dead.

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.

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.

Honourable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow students. A very good morning to you all. Today I will be speaking on the topic, "O, I am fonrtune's fool!"

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.

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. In the first paragraph it states that Romeo is a lover not a fighter. In the second paragraph it states that romeo is in love and the third paragraph states that romeo is a peace maker.

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

No one knows when William Shakespeare was born but it is estimated around April 23, 1564 his work was known from all over the world and is still known to this very day and some of his history is still unknown of his past. Some examples of his work is Romeo and Juliet, By 1592, there is evidence William Shakespeare earned a living as an actor and a playwright in London and possibly had several plays produced. William Shakespeare got married on November 28, 1582 to a woman named Anne Hathaway who was 26 years old while William was only 18 years old, and had three children named Susanna, Judith, and Hamnet, who ended up dying at the age of 11 years old.

Romeo and Juliet are known across the world for their deep love for one another, but, in reality, did they even know each other? Did they ever have the chance to develop a true love for one another or were they just teenagers, acting off impulse? Did they truly want the best for the other person, or did they just want the other person? First, we must examine the qualities of real love and the difference between true love and infatuation. We must look into the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, or the lack thereof, and determine whether or not Romeo and Juliet had enough time to get to know each other before they lunged into the deep commitment of marriage.

The play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare is accurate compared to the time in history that he was writing his story in. The story takes place in Verona, Italy, a place that was "culturally rich and commercially successful," according to EXPLORING Shakespeare, 2003. Verona was a very lively town but, like many other places in Italy, it was subject to violence and war. We see this in the multiple fights that take place in the story. In this time period, there was also "division between supporters of the Emporer and supporters of the Pope," according to EXPLORING Shakespeare, 2003. This could be symbolized by the fact that the Capulets and Montagues were rivaling families. The violence and division of the people are closely tied factors

I have always been interested in Greek and Roman mythology their roles in modern society. Erebus and Aurora is a spin on Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. I changed the Capulets into Romans and the Montagues into Greeks. This allowed me to shown my own interpretation of Romeo and Juliet and give insight into how I view the personalities of the gods. Since the publication of Percy Jackson in 2005, people have become more interested in the Greek and Roman Gods so I think that Erebus and Aurora will appeal to a modern audience.
