Romeo And Juliet Comparison

Firstly, they both insist on getting married immediately and they do not want anyone in the way of their wonderful marriage. Romeo says to the Nurse,"Bid her devise, Some means to come to shrift this afternoon. And there she shall at Friar Lawrence' cell,Be shrived and married. (gives her coins) Here is for thy pains"(2.4.84-88). Romeo sets his eyes on Juliet at a party her parents were having and within an instance the rae planning a secret wedding because they're madly in love. Although Romeo and Juliet are from feuding families, they are going against their parents to be together. Friar Lawrence tells Juliet, "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distillèd liquor drink thou off,When presently through all thy veins shall run, A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse"(4.1.96-99). This proves that Juliet is willing to fake a death and lie to her family in order to spend her life with her beloved Romeo. As Well they wanted to be together so desperately that they both died to be with each other, which seemed to be their only option. Juliet says to herself, "Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. (stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)"(5.3.182-184). Romeo, not knowing Juliet was not in fact dead, took a potion to poison himself and take his life. Juliet then woke up to realize her husband

According to Act V Scene III it states, “Come, I’ll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns.” Juliet relies “ Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. Then Friar Lawrence left Juliet to be with her husband. According to this quote, it seems like Friar Laurence does not care for Juliet. He is only trying to protect himself from the watchman. He should not have done that because earlier in the book she was threatening to kill herself. According to Act IV Scene I, it states “ I long to die if what thou speak'st speak not of remedy. According to that quote, she's saying if you don’t have anything to fix this I will be able to take my own life to be with Romeo, hat s when Friar Lawrence gives her the potion and tells her to take it.He left her in a upsetting mood. Hs e had more of a chance to take her life. He should have conforted her, but he didn’t, and left her to be on her own. Then she had killed herself.

Juliet chooses to fake her, and one of Romeo’s men catch word of it and deliver the news to Romeo. As Romeo races back to Verona, Friar John was on his way to deliver the truth to Romeo but couldn’t make it to him in time. Romeo breaks into the Capulet tomb to see Juliet for himself. When he does see that Juliet is “dead” he does not choose to live any longer and decides to end his life by drinking a poison. When Juliet awakes and sees Romeo dead next to her she cries and tries to drink from the bottle the poison was in so she could die as well since there was nothing left in the bottle she decided to grab Romeo’s dagger and stab herself, and so she

In conclusion after watching two very different yet similar interpretations of Romeo and Juliet. I feel that Luhrmann does a better job capturing the tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet . Through the fast pacing in the movie and how he betrayed some of the characters his version truly captures this classic tail with a modern twist. His interpretation makes the deaths of our star crossed lovers even sadder. So that is why I believe Luhrmann did a better job capturing the tragedy of one Juliet and her

Comparison Between Act 3 Scene 1 in Franco Zeferelli's Romeo and Juliet and in Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet

Near the end of the play, Friar comes up with an idea to get Romeo and Juliet back together. With Romeo being banished to Mantua, he writes him a letter to explain what will happen and where it will take place. He then gives this letter to Friar John, who is supposed to deliver the letter, but it is later found out that he was held in quarantine and was unable to deliver it. While this is taking place, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a vile and tells her to drink it, saying that it will put her in a death-like state for 48 hours. Once she is found “dead” she will be laid in the family tomb. Once the 48 hours are up, she will awaken and Romeo was supposed to come and take her somewhere safe where they can be together. This plan backfired when Romeo didn’t receive the Friar’s letter and took matters into his own hands when Balthazar tells him Juliet is dead. Because Balthazar believes Juliet is truly dead, Romeo believes that this is the news that was supposed to come from the Friar. Romeo then paid for a bottle of poison that he will drink when he lies next to Juliet. If Friar’s plan would have succeeded, they would be together and they could work out a plan to keep them both safe and end the family feud. Because the plan backfired, both Romeo and Juliet end up dead at the end of the

When Juliet wakes up she asks Friar where Romeo is and he tells Juliet to come with him, but Juliet refuses and Friar Laurence leaves her alone and as a consequence of him leaving Juliet kills herself with Romeo's dagger. In Act 5 scene 3 Friar says, " I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep. A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, And Paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet. I dare no longer

In the letter it told Romeo that Juliet took a vial that would put her to sleep for 2 days and that she was waiting for him to go get her so they could live happily together. “Hold! Get you gone, be strong and prosperous In this resolve. I’ll send a friar with speed To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord,” (Shakespeare 454). His mistake was that he did not get the letter to Romeo in time because the friar he sent was stopped by a disease. This caused a massive problem because Romeo thought Juliet was dead which then caused him to take his life and Juliet to take hers. “Here’s to my love! [Drinks.] O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 473). “Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die,” (Shakespeare 475). The Friar should have made sure he got the letter to Romeo before Juliet took the vial so he would know that his wife is not actually dead and is just sleeping. It would’ve stopped Romeo and Juliet from taking their lives. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet could have lived happily together instead of being in a

In order to evade the marriage, Juliet begs Friar Laurence to help her. Juliet indicates the severity of the situation by expressing her “[longing] to die if what [Friar Laurence] speak’st speak not of remedy” (Shakespeare 4.1 66-67). To help Juliet, Friar Laurence gives her a potion that will make her appear dead for forty-two hours, at which time she will wake up and Romeo will be at her side. Friar Laurence fails to treat Juliet’s life with the respect it deserves by taking his chances and following through with his plan. Although the success of the plan is crucial for Romeo and Juliet to be together, Friar Laurence is unwilling to travel to Mantua and explain the plan to Romeo. Instead, Friar Laurence chooses to “send a friar with speed to Mantua with letters to [Romeo]” (Shakespeare 4.1 123). Even though a critical part of his plan relies on his messenger delivering his letter to Romeo, he fails to inform Friar John of Juliet’s desperation or the urgency of the situation. When Friar John’s town is quarantined due to a plague and he “[can] not send [the letter]” (Shakespeare 5.2 14-16). Despite receiving no confirmation, Friar Laurence assumes his messenger is successful and leaves the plan unaltered. After Romeo is informed of Juliet’s supposed death, he rushes to her tomb and commits suicide, only for Juliet to

In many stories, especially those of an older make, there are usually many tragic deaths that are the direct or indirect result of the actions of someone or something. The story “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is a great example of one of these tragic stories. “Romeo and Juliet” is a classic piece of work that takes place in the Italian city of Verona and follows the short lived lives of the young lovers Romeo and Juliet. I believe that all the deaths that take place in this story are the result of Romeo’s poor judgment and actions.

The nurse is talking to Juliet after finding out about the death of their kinsman, Tybalt. Juliet states, “O, break, my heart! Poor bankrout, break at once!/ To prison, eyes; ne’er look on liberty! Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here,/ And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier!” (III.ii.57-60). The Nurse has recently found out about Tybalt’s death and is trying to comfort Juliet with her loss. Juliet thinks that Romeo is the one who has been killed. Then the Nurse tells her that Tybalt is the one who has been killed. Juliet is confused because she has heard that Tybalt and Romeo have died, and she does not know which is true. This moves the plot forward because Juliet thinks her husband is dead, and is very sad, but really her cousin is dead. When she finds this information out she is going to be devastated as she was close with Tybalt. At this point, Juliet has just woken up after drinking the potion that Friar Lawrence gave her. Juliet says, “O comfortable friar! Where is my lord? / I do remember well where I should be, / And there I am. Where is my Romeo?” (V.iii.148-150). Juliet has just woken up from her coma and is laying in the Capulet’s tomb. She asks the friar where Romeo is, but he does not want to tell her what happened. She is confused by what is going on at the moment, but she does not know that Romeo did not get the message about her taking the potion. So when Romeo got the message that

Im Shakespeare tragedy , Romeo and Juliet have fallen for each other.They are faced with many challenges throughout their love which eventually lead to their death. They´re two different versions of this play;one is by Baz Luhrmann which is more modern and has really nothing to do with the play then there is the one by Franco Zeffirelli which has more things in common with the actual play. In Act V Scene iii ¨The Death Scene¨ both directors have different ways of showing how the ¨two star-crossed lovers¨ die.

Although the two Romeo and Juliet portray the same message and similar storyline, they both have been interpreted to match their decade of movie genres. The Lurhmann is a much more modern and carefully thought film as for the Zefferelli version, he sticks mainly to the original Shakespeare’s version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The Balcony scene in the two films has significant dramatic and physical differences. One of which is the modernisation of the environment, the facial expressions of the characters chances the entire dialogue message from serious to a joking manner. Last point of comparison would consist of the background music and the surrounding aimed for by the directors.

Although Juliet was death in different way but it also telling the same message to the audience, which is Romeo was death, she survived is useless, she is willing to die for Romeo. When she knew Romeo was dead, she knew she can’t live without Romeo, she chooses to suicide. In both of the show, it is quite similar, she dances with her collapse body, her body seems is not hers, her movements are like a person with drunk, she walks with a not balance body with her solo, her movement has already numbed, it’s show to the audience she really loves Romeo, Juliet’s suicide complete telling us, in wordless action, of the great love story, a total dance personality, she flows into and out of the dance phrases as artlessly and beautifully as a bird flies or a fish swims.

Tragedy strikes in the 1996 version, when Juliet takes a ‘’potion’’ that makes her appear dead for 24 hours, and she is taken to the Capulet vault, where Romeo finds her, after being absent when the letter assuring him she wasn’t dead arrived. He then drinks the poison he bought, as Juliet wakes, they have only moments to say goodbye to each other before Romeo dies. Juliet then grabs Romeo’s gun from the holster, and shoots herself. In the 1968 version, she is similarly taken to the family vault, where
