When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101).

George Edward Woodberry once said, “Shakespeare is, essentially, the emanation of the Renaissance. The overflow of his fame on the Continent in later years was but the sequel of the flood of the Renaissance in Western Europe. He was the child of that great movement, and marks its height as it penetrated the North with civilization” (“George Edward Woodberry Quote”). The Renaissance, as Woodberry stated within his quote, would not have been as popular if it was not for William Shakespeare. He is a crucial part of the Renaissance. Not only did Shakespeare have an impact on the Renaissance, social class did as well. Social Classes have been building for many years and they made a tremendous difference during the Renaissance, to the point where the social classes controlled society. The Renaissance was a time period of rebirth and Shakespeare was taking advantage of that by contributing a majority of his pieces of writing, as well as his plays. One of his most known pieces of work is Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare uses the idea of social classes and portrays it throughout his play, Romeo and Juliet. He generates various characters and places them into different social ranks and standing. This impacts the play significantly and brings a new light and perspective on Shakespeare 's writing. Shakespeare also illustrates the specific advantages each social class received during the this time period and within

William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is a traumatic love story between young adults Romeo and Juliet.

Abandoning the indifferences between their families they go against it all, fall in love, and marry in secret. Little do they know their love story will result in a tragic ending, death. William Shakespeare writes this play set in Verona, Italy and to him this place is thought of as a timeless fantasy land. Even though Shakespeare sets the play in Verona the characters do not act the way people from there acted and their beliefs and customs were not the same. The way the families act and treat others in based more on

Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet effectively appropriates the Shakespearean 16th century love tragedy. So why has Luhrmann decided to appropriate Romeo and Juliet? By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters. The form has had an obvious change as the original play has been adapted into a film. Characters in the film have also been appropriated to correspond with Luhrmann's contextual concerns. Hence, Luhrmann successfully appropriates the original Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet by maintaining similar themes, but altering the form and characterisation to fit his contextual concerns.

In Romeo and Juliet, the prologue establishes the setting of the play (Verona), introduces the primary houses (Montague and Capulet), and their ongoing feud. The fourteen lines of iambic pentameter also create the idea that multiple factors and issues played a part in Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.

In the scene of the Nurse, Lady Capulet and Juliet, it shows that the Nurse knows more about Juliet than Juliet’s own mother when Lady Capulet didn’t know her age.

Another significant thing about this is that Lady Capulet looks at Juliet like an object just to get

Shakespeare's famous play of the two star crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet arouses many debates in the literary world; among them belongs the question of who Shakespeare portrays as the culprit responsible for the couples death: foolish young love, societal norms and customs or simply fate?The plot of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare unfolds in Verona, where the protagonists, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, each belong to powerful feuding Verona families. Juliet, who is only 14 years of age, has been promised by her father to a man named Paris without her consent, as was common for women at the time. In Verona, expectations and societal norms for men and women diverge. Men are portrayed as sexual, violent, strong characters who fight for honor while women are portrayed as inferior, weaker and represent possessions and conquests of men. Although, Juliet does not conform to these expectations and defies them throughout the play by her actions and behavior until she meets a tragic and untimely death with her lover Romeo. William Shakespeare uses Juliet, an unconventional protagonist compared to the society’s gender roles, and her tragic downfall to criticize the patriarchal society he lived in during the Elizabethan era.

Have you ever seen a murder mystery movie before? If so, you would recall that the detective tries to look for clues that leads to the suspected murderer. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, the same format applies, however, the murdering was done by the victims, Romeo and Juliet. With the tragic play coming to an end, we, the readers, are left wondering, “Who is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death?” While most characters may have a clear correlation to their suicide, the real murderer was in the stars, or in other words, fate murdered Romeo and Juliet. If fate had not have Romeo and Juliet’s death already foretold, provide hardships for the two, and mess up the Friars scheme to save Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, the play would not have been considered a tragedy.

The scene that was most different between the play and the movie of Romeo and Juliet was how the two crossed lovers first met each other. In the play Romeo and the Montague boys find out about the Capulet party through a poor peasant who could not read the invitations. While in the movie the Capulet party is announced through a newscast over T.V. I think the director changed this so the invite can go more along with the time period of the movie. This could change how the viewers see it by making the invite less secret. Over a newscast anyone who was paying attention to the T.V. could of heard the invite. Another main difference in this scene would be Romeo and Juliet first seeing each other in the bathroom across a fish tank rather than across the ballroom in the play. This could take away from the romantic side of the two first seeing each other. In the play it seems Romeo and Juliet have more privacy when they first speak to each other. In the movie the two are getting on and off an elevator just not to be seen. This could add more suspense to the scene and make the viewers see the movie from a lofty viewpoint.
