Differences Between Romeo And Juliet By William Shakespeare

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.

The honoured and remarkable play of Romeo and Juliet and its updated version as a movie that is modernized have some similarities and differences between both. Firstly, the most obvious similarity is the language used in both, as the movie uses the script from the play word by word. Secondly, a difference that is changed in the screenplay due to the difference between the weaponry of both time frames, the swords used in Romeo and Juliet's play are replaced by guns in the screenplay. Thirdly, despite the ignorance of some scenes , the plot remains the same, including Friar Lawrence's plan for Juliet to escape the marriage from Count Paris. Lastly, the Prince of Verona from the play is replaced by a Chief of Police, as due to the difference in

Today I am writing an essay about how would it be if the Romeo and Juliet story were different. I am writing an essay about how would it be if the Romeo and Juliet story were different because I want to tell about all kinds of things that would’ve happened. Some things that would be different about the Romeo and Juliet story would be if Juliet was never in the story, if Rosaline would have felt the same way Romeo felt about her, if Romeo would had never went to the party at the Capulet’s mansion, and if the letter had arrived to Romeo informing him about Juliet’s and the Friar’s scheme. In my essay I would tell about would’ve happened if the story were different. The Romeo and Juliet story would be very different if things didn’t go as planned.

It’s true that Juliet in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Neil in the film Dead Poets Society have dissenting voices that challenge existing values and beliefs. Dissenting is a word that means to disagree with something and have a different opinion from most people. Both Juliet and Neil are dissenters in the texts; they have their own opinions from their families and have the courage to disobey their parents. Both texts demonstrates the tragedy inherit in stifling human desire and idealism. Both texts also demonstrate the power of tragedy to force and oppressive.

Love is an intricate and complex emotion that has varying amounts of true affection. One might think he is in love with someone, but once he meets a different person, he may change his affection. Generally people agree that love is the highest form of affection, an emotion that produces deeply happy feelings that few events can disrupt. This is true in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet are willing to die for their love of each other. Juliet originally wants nothing to do with marriage or love, but as the play progresses, her new belief in love, and faithfulness, contrasts with her parents’ and nurse’s views.

William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, has been put into two different yet similar interpretations by Franco Zeffirelli in 1968 and Baz Luhrmann in 1997. Though their interpretations are based off the same play, which is reason for many similarities within them, they tend to part ways quite often throughout their ways of recreating Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet.

In Romeo and Juliet, the infamous tragedy written by William Shakespeare, two star-crossed-lovers from feuding households (Montague and Capulet) meet a grim end. Throughout the text, a dramatic foil is developed between the character, Romeo, and Mercutio, his best friend. Romeo is extremely passionate about everything in his life while Mercutio is more of a skeptic, meaning he takes time to think about things before believing them. Shakespeare makes their differences evident through their contrasting views on life that are displayed in scene four of act one. Romeo, who is deeply in love with a maiden named Rosaline, expresses

Throughout the movie of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a great disappointment because even though that this is a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet they use guns and not swords which defeats the whole purpose of the sword challenge and how you have to stab the person and not shoot them.

I am very displeased with the way you have treated your family. I agree, your daughter Juliet did act out of place. You had been very flexible in allowing her to choose her path, and she took advantage of that, but in no way is it correct to hit your wife for trying to calm you down. I understand that where and when you come from the way you acted is allowed, but do you really think what you did is morally rectified. It’s alright to get angry, it’s even fine to yell, however, it is inexcusable to abuse your wife. Not only did you physically hurt her but mentally as well. Having her daughter right in front of her when you hit her must have made her feel so worthless and shameful. Nowadays, many people are belittled by the public for acting in

One difference between the movie Romeo + Juliet and the story Romeo and Juliet is that the movie takes place in Verona beach, Florida, and story takes place in Verona, Italy. In the story Romeo and Juliet all of the story takes place in Verona Italy, but in the movie Romeo + Juliet it takes place in a city in the United States. An example is in the story in the prologue it reads, “Two households, both alike in dignity(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean” that shows that the story is in Verona(Shakespeare). A reason the director could have put the story in Verona beach, Florida is that he wanted the scene for the movie to be a more familiar place rather than

In a world where advancement is occuring at an accelerating rate, traditions are constantly being broken, but is the American education system still holding onto the past? There is a dispute among educators as to whether or not Romeo and Juliet is a necessary classic to teach their students. The new modern English writing has remained a staple in the high school English class for years, and fans argue that if it has worked there for so long there is no reason to change the system. On the other side of the disagreement teachers say that there are more useful books that classes could read besides the monotonous writings of a man from five-hundred years ago. Romeo and Juliet being taught in schools today is drudgery that students bear simply for tradition.

Williams Shakespeare was born April 1564 and he died April 23 1616. Williams was known for his unique writing and was very famous in his days. Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He is called England national poet. One of Williams Shakespeare famous and memorable plays that he has done was Romeo and Juliet. William Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict.

The French version, written in 1559 by Boaistuau, added more exciting details. Interestingly, Boaistuau changed the manner of the lovers' deaths from his Italian predecessors, where the lovers have a short time together in the tomb before they die. Boaistuau chooses to have his Romeo die before Juliet wakes, as Shakespeare will do in his later version. Brooke's poem is a faithful translation from the French and Brooke is the immediate source for Shakespeare's play. Shakespeare, of course, makes his own changes, not least the change from a leisurely period of several months, throughout which the lovers enjoy their relationship, to the desperate haste and headlong energy of his action, crammed into a few days.

I decided to choose the fight scene for my creative assignment. Choosing this scene was a product of the influential nature of it. This scene was the basis of Romeo’s banishment which then led to the confusion between Romeo and Friar Laurence which resulted in not only the death of Romeo, but also Juliet along with him. This scene also resulted in the deaths of the Prince’s kinsman, Mercutio, and Tybalt, whom was slain by Romeo. It has so much meaning and influence on the story that I thought it would make a perfect subject for a visual representation.

DiCaprio did it right, the other two movies were ‘meh’, but DiCaprio hit it on the nose. Shakespeare’s original play was a story of love and loss, all three of those movies perfectly captured that. Matt sucks. The style of movie the 1996 and 2014 version used is very enjoyable, the whole newage Romeo and Juliet. The older story portrays Shakespeare’s original idea of how the play should look. Though, the acting was sub-par on the older version. Many things can be learned from the rivalry of the Capulets and Montagues, those things are displayed differently in all three pieces. All three unique, yet also the same in ways. But first, the older movie.
