Romeo And Juliet Compare And Contrast

With Halloween being right around the corner, children are preparing for ABC’s “Thirteen Nights of Halloween,” parents are picking up pumpkins to celebrate the Celtic holiday, and the urge for a good horror story is emerging. The monster, such as vampires or zombies, is taking the spotlight and it’s hard to ignore. From Dante’s Inferno to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, being frightened has not only been one of people’s favorite pastimes, but a way for us to explain the paranormal and unrevealed. In recent times however, there seems to be a shift from demonic creatures of the night to over sexualized human-like creatures who hide amongst us in the day. In this essay, I will show the gradual humanizing of the vampire and how it has morphed from a demonic creature damned by God into a creature with a big heart that is not much different from us.

Secondly, Romeos and Juliets downfall is a result of their own poor decisions, or character flaws because they caused fights. Many fights could have been avoided if they did the things that they were supposed to do. Because Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo was looking for him so that they can fight. Romeo says, “This shall determine that”(Shakespeare 59, line 133). Their fight will determine who dies.

1) Before meeting Romeo, how does Juliet view the prospect of marriage? -Before meeting Romeo, Juliet viewed marriage as something that will exterminate the amount of power she has over herself. In Elizabethan times, once a woman married all their belongings would be her husband’s, the “Elizabethan Culture: Love and Marriage Four Centuries Ago” worksheet speaks much of this topic. They state that she would have no say in how he managed himself, his money, his property, her, his job, and the person he is in general. Juliet knew she would be counted as something that simply belonged to her husband and she was an accessory (almost).

The Romeo and Juliet (1968) movie had some differences with the original play, although I did enjoy watching it. Watching the film also made me understand some parts of the play a little bit better. A detail that stood out to me the most, however, was how ridiculous the servant’s livery looked like. It almost appeared to resemble a jester’s clothes. I also like how the film took out some parts of the play they deemed unnecessary, but some parts of the play that were added were confusing.

The narrative poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” by Publius Ovidius Naso is a fascinating piece of work that had a great impact on the illustrious poet William Shakespeare. Recounting a riveting tragic love story, the poem intrigued Shakespeare; thus, it influenced him significantly as he composed his own story of love, the famous play, Romeo and Juliet. The poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” and the play Romeo and Juliet are different in many regards, but also have numerous similarities. One notable difference between these authors’ works exists in how each author employs the literary device of apostrophe. In “Pyramus and Thisbe,” Ovid exercises an apostrophe as he shows the lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, speaking to the “jealous wall” that is between them, which represents their families obstruction in their love.

Both versions directed by Baz Luhrmann and Franco Zeffirelli, of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet have similarities and differences. In Zeffirelli’s version the montagues and capulets were easy to tell apart by the color of their cloths and hats. In Luhrmann version you can also tell the montagues and capulets apart, but not by the color of their cloths but by the color of their cars. Both versions are also similar because they have the same family feud that has been going on for several of years. To conclude, Zeffirelli and Luhrmann are similar in many in many ways.

In the two films Romeo and Juliet, directed by Zeffirelli and Luhrmann, there are many artistic variations including the mood, actors, and setting. Both directors used many different artistic variations to enhance the enjoyment of the viewers of the time period they were released in; which made each film feel very different even though they were based off the same story. Two artistic variations that made a big difference between the two films, Romeo and Juliet, were the mood and the actors who played certain characters. In the 1969 version of Romeo and Juliet, Zeffirelli created the mood by using dull, earthy colors, classical instrumental music, and had a very calm and flowy energy.

Romeo and Juliet Movie There are many differences in time period between the Romeo and Juliet movie and the play. The people in Verona had much less advanced technology than in the movie.

Shakespeare's main characters are never ‘dull’; they’re always intricate, with motives that present complexity, which proves to sometimes be problematic. The characterization of the Duke is similar to that of Lucio’s because these two characters both have many facets to them. And these similarities enable us to see how even though these characters might be similar in ways, their actions and the way they go about dealing with the things they’re faced with are different. Since the Duke holds greater power he is able to go to extreme lengths, in order to get what he wants, unlike Lucio, who is merely just a character who happens to live in Vienna.

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

There are various people who could be all these characters. On a TV show the category beautiful girl would suit Rachel Berry from Glee.
