Romeo And Juliet Comparison

First off we are going to talk about the plot in the original play. At the beginning of the play Romeo liked a girl named Rosaline but then he went to a masquerade party and saw Juliet and instantly

Romeo is one of the most famous characters when it comes to romance and fine art. In the 2013 version he was full of life, wasn’t trying to eat someone elses face, and he actually had a life too. He was in love the way normal would fall in love instead of acting like it till he finds the one true Juliet. The 1960’s version of romeo though had horrible people skills. He had to fake being in love at first till he wanted to actually love someone.

They tell eachother everything. Most importantly, they can trust one another. Juliet turns to the Nurse for every problem she has. She depends on the Nurse to be there for her, especially in times of struggles and her love life. Throughout her love story with Romeo, the Nurse plays a very active role in Juliet’s life. We see the Nurse helping her to sneak away with Romeo but on the other side, we see the Nurse telling Juliet to obey her family orders, which relates back to the conflict between a parent figure and child.

In order to compare and contrast the play to the movie,first I will discuss the play .In the play there is a character named Romeo.Lovely Romeo wanted to marry Juliet and stay with her in Verona,Italy.But

In the play, Romeo sees her as soon as he walks in the door and then goes over to her. In the movie, they see each other through a fish tank, separate, and then Romeo goes and finds her. Also in the movie, Romeo finds Juliet, after seeing her through the fish tank, as she is dancing with Paris and in the play, Juliet did not dance with Paris. Also in the party scene, in the movie, They also kiss a lot more in the movie than in the play. Another difference between the party scene in the movie and in the play is that in the movie the party is a costume party and it’s not in the play. They should not have changed so much about the party scene because it’s one of the most important

First of all, The Nurse supports Juliet throughout the majority of the play, but her unsound advice is a notable reason for the young lovers’ downfall. For instance, Juliet appreciates The Nurse’s help during the beginning of her and Romeo’s relationship, but what Juliet is blind to is the damage that The Nurse does as she unintentionally leads Juliet to her death when she says “Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence’ cell;/ There stays a husband to make you a wife” (Shakespeare, II, v, 68-69). In essence, the wedding that The Nurse encourages Romeo and Juliet to have reflects her negative influence on their relationship as Juliet is left increasingly vulnerable to Romeo’s impulsivity, which is an extremely relevant cause of Juliet’s eventual demise. Additionally, both Romeo and Juliet are significantly affected by the immature behavior of their kin. Specifically, Juliet displays her eradicated ability to form rational decisions when she speaks of the pressure her family puts on her as she says “My only love sprung from my only hate!/ Too early seen unknown, and known too late!/ Prodigious birth of love it is to me/ That I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare, I, v, 138-141). This internal conflict that arises when Juliet discovers that Romeo is a Montague is of significance

It was a shock to Juliet that she didn’t support as before. The nurse played as an important role to her, however it wasn’t how Juliet was expected it was going to happen. Juliet was left on her own to make some very important decisions at the age of 15. I believe that if the Nurse had been around to help Juliet things may have turned out differently. Strangely, she advised Juliet to forget about Romeo and marry Paris, betraying Juliet’s trust by advocating a false marriage: “I think it best you married with the County. O, he’s a lovely gentleman. Romeo’s a dish clout to him”(3.5.218). Juliet can’t believe that the Nurse offers such a course of action after the Nurse praised Romeo and helped bring the couple together. She could not have gone to Lady Capulet or Lord Capulet, because they would not have understood.

Again the Nurse’s fantastic ability to be incredibly insensitive shines through in this scene. Being close to Juliet, she should realise that Juliet’s feelings and emotions would be akin to a roller coaster ride at this point in time, and that Juliet needs support and stability. Instead, the Nurse

There were quite of few differences between William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play and Baz Luhrmann’s movie based on the play. For example, the ending scene in the movie left out a lot. Paris never showed up at the cemetery to place flowers at Juliet’s tomb. Thus, Paris and Romeo never got in a quarrel that had ended in Paris’s death. Baz Luhrmann probably left out this small part in the movie because Paris wasn’t a major character in the movie. Also at that part in the scene there was already a lot going on, so leaving out that fight between Romeo and Paris wouldn’t have taken a huge toll in that certain scene. In the play that small detail told the readers that Paris’s love was true for Juliet. However by leaving out that part out in the movie it didn’t tell the audience if Paris was actually into the marriage for true love. Also Juliet was awake before Romeo died as well. However he didn’t notice that she was awake quick enough before he had drank the poison. By having Juliet wake before Romeo passed away made that

It is understandable that she cared very much for Juliet and her happiness but she is the adult. Juliet is her responsibility. The nurse should have been smarter and told her she was just too young or that she would have to be truthful and tell her family (not that part that he is a Montague) that she was in love and that they would make each other very happy or that she should not tell anyone and they should just run away and start over together. If the nurse would have been more responsible or smarted then Romeo and Juliet would have most likely lived.

The Role of the Nurse in Her Relationship with Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

She will without a doubt do anything to let Juliet be happy. On page 87, she says "Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. An I might live to see thee married, I have my wish," which shows the admiration from the Nurse torwards Juliet. Their close bond is obvious. The Nurse is very aware of how much Juliet craves to be with Romeo, so she does her best to help them be together. Without the love, support, and assistance from the Nurse, Juliet will only see Romeo as a missed oppertunity, and will not fall in love. The Nurse loves Juliet so much, that it ends up playing a detrimental role in Juliet's tragic

We see the nurses friendship with Juliet when she says, “Romeo! no, not he; though his / face be better than any man's, yet his leg excels / all men's; and for a hand, and a foot, and a body, / though they be not to be talked on, yet they are / past compare: he is not the flower of courtesy / but, I'll warrant him, as gentle as a lamb” (2.5.1416-1421). As you can see the Nurse acts almost as though Juliet would act. Another instance where the Nurse shows her friendship she has with Juliet is when she became Juliet’s co-conspirator in marrying Romeo. Throughout the play the nurse is constantly hiding Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another. Besides the fact that she was keeping secrets for Juliet, she had also delivered bad news to her, like when she told her the news of Tybalt's death: “The Nurse also gives Juliet the news that Romeo killed Tybalt and was exiled by the Prince, throwing Juliet's emotions further into a whirl” (Angie Creel, “Romeo and Juliet: The Nurse”). The emotional toll one 14 year old girl would be feeling with her beloved cousin dead and her one true love exiled, would be catastrophic and merely devastating. She not only gained a part in her life, but also in her death

She made it sound like Romeo has been killed, which he hasn’t, he was banished. She finally tells her he’s been banished and then she tries to talk bad about Romeo. The nurse tries to talk Juliet into not being with Romeo anymore and this affects the ending because Juliet has become more upset that Romeo has left. It could possibly make her have stronger feelings for him as well by

Comparing the movie to the film, it follows the same concept although there is a ton of differences. First off, they have a fake wedding inside of a dress shop in the movie and in the play the couple gets secretly married, but it’s still the real deal. A big thing that I noticed is the death situation compared to the play, in the play Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, which leads Romeo to drink poison because he doesn’t think Juliet loves him, which causes Juliet to commit suicide using his
