Romeo And Juliet Mask Analysis

My mask represents the character Juliet. These items on my mask demonstrate a little bit of knowledge about Juliet. The first one which are the features(purple,red) relates to birds and how they need to learn how to fly at first in order to become an expert on hunting food. Well, it relates to Juliet because she began out small (baby) and now she slowly begins to become a woman and is part ready to marry. The second one is, the amount of gems that are purple and red relates to how old Juliet is currently in the book which is 14 years of age.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the character Benvolio is one of Romeo’s comrades and is considered a peace keeper at this point in the play. Those two aspects of Benvolio are displayed in the slide made above. When Romeo confesses about his love for Rosaline and asks how he should forget about her, Benvolio gave him the tip of “examin[ing] other beauties” (1.1.236). Rather than leaving Romeo without any advice, Benvolio decides to bestow on some tips. A visual I decided to use for this is a thumbs-up. Another example of Benvolio being one of Romeo’s friends is that Benvolio was searching for Romeo, by calling out his name, even knowing that “he ran [towards the orchard wall] and leapt [the wall]” (2.1.6). Even when Romeo is out

For their free dance to music from new film about Romeo and Juliet, they did not choose themed costumes. Beautiful historical or themed costumes is always great, but, it is difficult to sew them well. I like the light and delicate color palette, it suits well to the general mood of the program. The dress seems simple enough, but there is a beautiful drapery trim on the bodice and very beautiful decoration with stones on the sleeves. There was no reason for this dress to look bad on ice because this design has already been tested at catwalks and red carpets.

Emotion is a wild card in life. It almost always influences people to make bad decisions in their life, and causes harm to not only the host, but to many other people around them. In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt are all very emotional characters which conclusively lead to all of their deaths, as well as to the deaths of many other people around them. Because of these characters newly drawn emotion, they made decisions that would have been previously considered ludicrous and idiotic. Throughout the exceptional play of Romeo and Juliet, it is ultimately proven that emotion is the enemy when it comes to decision making.

Benvolio is the peacekeeper in Romeo and Juliet. He wants no trouble, but gets pulled into it anyways. So naturally, he will try to maintain the peace instead of creating more issues. In Scene One, the Capulets and Montauges start quarreling on the streets over virtually nothing. Benvolio comes in and explains what had been going on, and tried to stop the arguing. “I drew part to them. In the instant came the fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared...” (1.1.101-105) He tells the Prince everything in aims of keeping the peace. Though it already happened, he still wants the fighting to be kept silent between the two feuding families. He does this by being truthful to the higher power. Benvolio also attempts to keep the peace in another situation by again telling the Prince about what had happened. When Mercutio killed by Tybalt, and Tybalt slain by Romeo, Benvolio couldn't help but say what had happened. “O Noble Prince, I can

In William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Benvolio and Tybalt are portrayed as characters with distinctly opposing personalities that is apparent in many different instances throughout the play. Romeo's best friend, Benvolio is depicted as the classic nice guy, incorporating all the personalities necessary to be one. He is calm, patient, an advocate of peace between the two rival families, and always viewing the cup as half full instead of half empty. During the first quarrel between the Montagues and the Capulets in the play, Benvolio tries to bring peace by saying " I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, / Or manage it to part these men with me " ( , , 62-63). It is apparent that Benvolio has good intentions and that he

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

In the play “Romeo & Juliet” shakespeare portrayed all aspects of love throughout different characters. Each character carries its own meaning of love which is what makes this play unique. Romeo,Nurse, and Tybalt all represent divergent love.The word Love can come in all sorts of ways which is why it is such a diverse word. Love is a powerful term that can be portrayed as deep affection, devotion, and even heartbreak.

In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, he uses foils to further isolate key aspects in a main character’s personality. He has three examples of this literary element: Romeo and Mercutio; Tybalt and Benvolio; and the Nurse and Lady Capulet. The curt, imperious Lady Capulet and her foil, the somewhat crude, suggestive Nurse, are the topics of this paper. Lady Capulet is very different from her foil in many ways, but they are also similar in some ways.

Shakespeare has been around for a long time and so many people have critiqued his work. They all take their interpretation and they think that it is right. There have been so many interpretations for Romeo and Juliet, which is Shakespeare’s most famous story. So many people have their own opinions on what Romeo and Juliet is really about. The problem is that everybody thinks that their interpretation is correct and there is no other way that the story could be read. Although Carolyn E. Brown, writer of “Juliet’s Taming of Romeo”, makes a good argument about how Juliet ‘tames’ Romeo in the story, I believe that in their relationship, they are equals.

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespear, brings many themes to life; love and fate and comedy and tragedy being among the most common and reoccurring. This essay will be focusing on the real tragedy of one of the most famous plays ever written. Romeo and Juliet are not the only ones to lose something very dear to them; everyone suffered, both emotionally and physically. The couple's union was intended to bring the feuding families together instead, their love for each other only brought their own death and the deaths of others. But it is not just physical loss that is explored in the play. Both Romeo and Juliet lose their innocence. Juliet had never experienced maternal love, something that can never be replaced.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare outlines that idea that in life, desire is crucial to motivation, however, its an individual's commitment and determination to an unrelenting strive towards their goal; a solemn devotion to excel, that will thereby enable one to achieve the success they seek. The idea of determination and its power to excel is represented through the main protagonist of the play, Romeo, as his constant struggle and perseverance in order to remain with Juliet, allows him to achieve what he desired and craved deeply throughout the play: to remain alongside her for eternity.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

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.
