Romeo And Juliet Compare And Contrast

The Death Scene in the text version has more tension. It perfectly states the events that occur between Romeo and Juliet that leads them to their death. On the other hand, the Luhrmann version also describes well the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet but has a lot of differences due to its modern time era.

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.

William Shakespeare 's “Romeo and Juliet” have been remade countless of times, and each time in different ways. Most people are familiar with the tragedy of lovers known as Romeo and Juliet. Two interpretations of this story are the 2013 film by Carlo Carlei and the 2011 film by Kelly Asbury. The two movies have the same story line but are very different from each other. In the 2013 film known as Romeo and Juliet, the characters are the traditional version of the sonnet written from Shakespeare. Whereas the 2011 version, Gnomeo and Juliet, is a spin off Walt Disney version of the sonnet. In the two films they both have similar story lines, but with the main character, Romeo/Gnomeo, the language, romance, and ending is completely

A quote by an unknown author states, “Young love is two hearts with only one thing in mind.” This quote perfectly portrays the story of Romeo and Juliet because some people doubt that their love is real. Personally, I believe that age shouldn’t define your affection for a person. Despite being young, Romeo and Juliet fell for each other. Romeo revolved around Juliet like she was the sun, hence the quote, “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.4). These teenagers opened their hearts to something new and thrilling out of pure passion. Even though it was quick, it was real. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet show that they have a passionate love through the many ways they express their true feelings to one another.

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.

The tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet’s love has been told since 1597, either from a play, book, or movie. The latest release of the famous love story was in 1996, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Some argue that the original play written by William Shakespeare is more authentic and real, however others argue that the movie gives a better understanding to the original meaning of the play.The play consists of five acts including the characters Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, Tybalt, Benvolio, Friar Laurence, The Capulets and The Montagues. The story is well-known for the love between the teenagers of two feuding families, The Montagues and The Capulet. The tragic love story ends in death for both Romeo and Juliet. The stories convey the same

Romeo is determined to see juliet again but juliet thinks she won't see him ever. What will romeo and juliet do after hearing this news.

In music and in literature, there is a demonstration as to where a male character conveys his love and affection towards a female character. The song “Michelle” is performed by artist Sir Paul McCartney at the White House. In “Michelle” the male character expresses his feelings and emotions through speaking French because the woman that he is speaking to does not speak English and he wants her to understand. The play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is written by author William Shakespeare. Romeo lays eyes upon Juliet for the first time and he expresses his emotions for her through the words that he speaks. His enthusiastic response soon reveals that Romeo believes that Juliet is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. After examining both

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

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” This was said by William Shakespeare, which completely goes against the theme of Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. William Shakespeare has been, and still is, called legendary because his plays and written work have enlightened poetic literature in the centuries following his time. In Romeo and Juliet one of the messages that he was trying to put out was that fate cannot be changed, and it was received by everyone who read and watched the play. In examining this movie adaptation of the play Romeo and Juliet, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, one can observe that the modernization and the increased characterization, causes the feeling of each scene to be overly

While reading and watching Romeo and Juliet, I liked the movie the most. Throughout all three different types of Romeo and Juliet we watched and read, they were all different in their own special way; weather some of the characters were different than themselves in the other two types or they didn’t show up at all and they are a big part in the original Romeo and Juliet ect. Really there was no character that was the exact same in all 3 different types of Romeo and Juliet. They were either more talkative or more violent (Romeo), but I don’t think that there was a character that was the exact same from the play to the book, then to the movie. That is why I pick Romeo to compare and contrast in my first paragraph because he was the most different from the movie to the play to and/or and

I went to the party my mother wanted me go to and I saw a boy. We talked a little at the party but I didn't get to know him so, I made the nurse find out about him, comes to find out his name is Romeo. After the party I went home and was outside by myself. Romeo found out where I stayed and we started to talk but I was afraid he would get caught because he wasn't supposed to be there so i told him he has to go before he get caught. The nurse told me Romeo wanted to marry me So i'll have to ask him for myself but i'm not sure. He told me he really did wanted to marry me I was excited , but the day after he told me he wanted too I had Second thoughts if he really did or he changed his mind.I lied to my parents and told him i'm going to

In the popular play Romeo and Juliet, version written by Shakespeare, the two children of the feuding families become lovers. Within two days they meet, fall for each other, and get married. Though times were different, there is minimal chance that two days with limited hours spent together, two people would be able to know someone enough to marry them. Romeo and Juliet were not truly in love, Shakespeare examplemfies this by using literary devices to foreshadow the ending, putting both Romeo and Juliet in vulnerable times, and giving Romeo another interest to spark his heart in the beginning.

Author Harper Lee wrote “There is only one kind of love-love”, but the different manifestations are uncountable “(Vogue, 1961)”. “In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet experience two different manifestations. At first romeo and Juliet experience mostly physical attraction, but as their romance continues, it manifests into romantic love. Their love transforms from physical to romantic love because they transformed from kissing the first time they met to only being able to think of the other person.

Love and romance are slowly diminishing over the ages. Woman have lowered their standards so much that it has changed romance’s normality. In our generation, girls now just hope for a text back or for their own boyfriends to call them pretty. Technology is mostly to blame for this change. Hanging out has turned into phone calls, phone calls have turned into text messages, kisses have turned into emojis, and love letters have turned into goodnight texts. Ladies and gentlemen have become more comfortable and lazy when it comes to romance due to cellphones and computers. This change can be seen in literature too. Many romance writers works from centuries ago compared to modern romantic writers of today's day, demonstrate more of a passion and
