Romeo And Juliet Board Assignment Analysis

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.

Everyone knows the story: amidst the fighting of two families, a girl meets the guy of her dreams, within a day they are married and, later, they kill themselves. Some people believe that Romeo and Juliet promotes unacceptable behavior in teens; however, it is a very important part of the ninth grade language arts education because it has global influence and teaches lessons to people.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in 1597 about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately resolving their family feuds. Shakespeare included literary devices in the play so that the audience can emotionally connect to engage in the plot. Three of the literary devices that were used most were dramatic irony, classical allusion, and foreshadowing. By studying the devices, the reader enhancement improves.

Blame is easy to find in Romeo and Juliet, but who owns all the blame is the question. A lot of things could have contributed to the death of these two teenagers, but there is one specific thing that has the blame and power of their deaths. I have picked three possibilities for the blame and that is Friar Lawrence, Fate, and Lady Capulet. The person who I think holds the most blame is Friar Lawrence. I believe he holds it because in Document C it shows he is to blame because he decides to marry Romeo and Juliet and he thinks that is a good idea. He knows that they are young and do not exactly know what love is, yet he still decides that it is a good idea to marry the two.After Juliet is married to Romeo Juliet asks Friar Lawrence how to get out of marrying Paris. He then

The main person to blame is Romeo and Juliet. Because they knew they were not supposed to be seeing each other and if they got caught and people found out they would be dead. So, they just took their chances and actually ended up killing themselves because they loved each other and did not want to leave each other. You can tell they had missed each other because Romeo was saying “ How fares my Juliet” DBQ; Romeo, Document E. Also, Juliet was saying “ O comfortable Friar! Where is my lord?” DBQ; Juliet, Document E.

One feud between two families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Romeo is depressingly in love with Rosaline, Capulet’s niece and Juliet’s cousin. Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet’s party and falls instantly in love with Juliet. Romeo and Juliet gets married, two people died, and Juliet is forced to marry Paris, a kinsman to Prince Escalus. More people throughout the tragedy will die, so is Fate to blame?

Romeo and Juliet the star-crossed lovers doomed by a civil feud between two families or were they? In the End, of this story, Romeo & Juliet do kill themselves because of their severe love for each other and not being able to live without another. But were Romeo & Juliet really doomed from the start of the play? As Shakespeare puts it “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;”(Doc A). The people who are reliable for Romeo & Juliet's deaths are none other than their parents a friar and themselves.

Here lies the beloved Romeo and Juliet. The star crossed lovers who regrettably because of their true love, caused the deaths of many. Since Romeo and Juliet couldn't live without each other they now lay here in peace. While much can be blamed for this, only three are the most responsible: Lord Capulet, Nurse and Friar Lawrence are the ones who deserve the blame for the casualties of Romeo and Juliet and should be chided for their actions.

In the tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' there are many characters at fault for the sad outcome. Three main people are to blame above all others, however. Lord Capulet, the nurse, and Friar Laurence are the most responsible for the untimely deaths of the lovers, Paris, Mercutio, and Tybalt. Although they did not intentionally kill the youths their actions led to the murders and suicides of these characters.

In the Romeo and Juliet play I would blame Romeo of being wrong about his actions and decisions he made. Romeo killed about two people and became a problem because he is a Montague and the love of his life is a Capulet. Romeo also didn’t think most things through before doing them. He wouldn’t think about the consequences or trouble he’d be causing. Romeo shouldn’t have made himself the bad guy in this play. Romeo nor Juliet were making the right decisions. Romeo was just breaking the rules of the Montagues and Capulet being separated.

People have always believed in love at first sight, but no one foresaw how tragic love could truly be. William Shakespeare, in the play Romeo and Juliet, showed this beautifully. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, a tragic yet timeless tale of two teens from rivaling families falling in love with each other. Their young yet fiery love was kept a secret, by not only them, but by Friar Lawrence and Juliet's Nurse, the only two other people who knew about the two lovers. Through many unfortunate twists and turns, however, both Romeo and Juliet, along with four others, ended up dead. Although many people shared blame, the two people most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet were Lord and Lady Capulet and Friar Lawrence.

First reason is because it was his job in this plan to make sure that Romeo got the message he sent, but he never made sure that he actually got the message and knew what the plan was. Romeo did not know that Juliet was using a fake drink that will make it seem like she’s dead.

The production I chose to attend was the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s rendition of Romeo and Juliet. I attended the Saturday night, seven thirty pm production at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk. It took place in a proscenium theatre. It was the classic ‘picture frame’ stage setup with the opening, two wings, and a backstage. The theatre was spacious with a royal air. The area felt sophisticated and traditional.

Romeo and Juliet, two names forever linked to the tragedy of star-crossed lovers. The Guthrie Theatre’s recent performance certainly contained elements of tragedy, but less so in the plot than in the different ways this production veered from their rich source materiel. Shifts from the traditional portrayal of Juliet, the set, and the first Act all had negative repercussions on the quality of the performance. No doubt the show had redeeming aspects throughout, but the weight of the errors in judgment on the part of the director, actors, and technical designers was not enough to balance out the disjointed atmosphere of the production.

    "God, that play is so stupid." I speak up, knowing this is the only class where i could get away with this. "It starts off with a teenager PROPOSING to a FUCKING TWELVE YEAR OLD he met at a dance just because she was hot, and she SAID YES, and then they insisted on getting married even though they could get killed even for just dating, and then Juliet, for an indiscernible reason she told no one about, decided to play pretend and make everyone think she had KILLED HERSELF, and then Romeo, without even checking if she was, you know, actually dead, ACTUALLY killed himself. Romeo and Juliet were just so utterly
