Romeo And Juliet Young Love Deceptive Analysis

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.

When Romeo and Juliet first meet, he describes her as “A rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear.” I.v.53. She is the image of beauty to Romeo. After they meet, Juliet finds out from her Nurse that Romeo is a Montague, her enemy household. She then proceeds to say, “My only love sprung from my only hate!” I.v.152. Juliet and Romeo seemed to have a spark, and immediate connection, and despite their families feud, they still proceeded to get married. When Romeo asks the Friar to marry them, the Friar is cautious at first, but then realizes that this marriage could be a good thing, “For this alliance may so happy prove/to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” II.iii.98-99. While this is a risk for Romeo and Juliet to go through with this marriage, they are only looking at the positive outcome, being that their family feud would end, and they would achieve their happiness. Along with having a positive outcome, there could also be very negative consequences, being that they may loose their parents’ respect, and they also have to hide this marriage from their parents for a

Secondly, the two lovers believe that they undoubtedly are in love without even knowing the other person. Their desire to stay together is so strong that they believe that they can not survive without each other, which is the reason they get married. Prior to them getting married, Friar Lawrence warns Romeo and gives him advice on slowing things down. “These violent delights have violent ends/And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,/Which, as they kiss, consume./The sweetest honey/Is loathsome in his own deliciousness/And in the taste confounds the appetite./Therefore, love moderately. Long love doth so” (2.6.9-14). Which means that all these delights will have sudden endings. The Friar also says that these joys burn up in victory like when fire and gunpowder come in contact they explode. He goes on to say that honey does indeed taste delicious, however, too much will make you indisposed. Lastly, Romeo and Juliet get married secretly without even consulting their parents once because they assumed their parents would never agree. However, earlier on in the play, Capulet also says that he's too old to keep on feuding with the Montagues. Lord Capulet also stopped Tybalt from fighting Romeo, when he came to the

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet discusses the many challenges the ‘star crossed lovers’ face. It is their own deceptive actions that ultimately lead them to their untimely end. However Romeo and Juliet are forced to be deceptive due to their fate and misfortune, the ongoing feud in Verona, and the misleading guidance they receive from others; which also contribute to their deaths. Romeo and Juliet focuses on the theme of love and hate, this theme is interweaved throughout the play.

After the party, they believed that they were truly in love and decided to get married the next day. The next day they had the Capulet Nurse deliver messages back and forth between them. Later that day, they had Friar Laurence married them in secret. Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence and the Nurse had to hide the marriage from Romeo and Juliet’s parents and families to avoid drama. The hate between the families is hurting them because they have

William Shakespeare has written a play called Romeo and Juliet to add detail to his proposition of love. This play is about two youthful people who fall in love with each other and what authentic love really is. Through, they cannot be together due to factors such as family disputes and an arranged marriage. As a result of being utterly overwhelmed by current events, Romeo and Juliet end their lives together. The star-crossed lovers exhibit a suicidal impulse that relates to young and desperate love because they have known each other for a short-lived amount of time. Shakespeare does consider a self-destructive tendency connected to love because they committed suicide for each other.

Romeo and Juliet get married a day after they meet, Juliet admits that their love, “is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden”(2.2.118-119). The two lovers were young and did not know better than to marry each other after a day of their first meeting. They could not get advice from their families because the family feud was the reason the two teens had to hide their love. If not for the feud they could have had an open wedding and Juliet would not have to fake her death to be with Romeo. The family feud is also responsible for Romeo getting banished from Verona.

What does divorce, marriage after death, and cheating mean? Does it mean the love in the first relationship wasn’t genuine love? In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, their true (or genuine) love for eachother is a main theme, yet in the first act Romeo is convinced that he loves Rosaline and in just a few hours he loves someone else. This leads to the answer that even though it always depends on the situation, one can genuinely, romantically love more than one person.

The secrecy of their love is shown through dialogue, An example is when Friar Lawrence says to Romeo “…Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time to blaze your marriage…” Friar Lawrence said this in reply when Romeo said “ …My conceal'd lady to our cancell'd love?…” This shows how Friar Lawrence is telling Romeo to wait so that he can figure out a way to publicly announce their marriage. Once again this shows how Friar Lawrence is the only one who is aware of Romeo and Juliet’s marriage. Juliet’s conversations with her father are very disagreeing.

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two star-crossed lovers meet and fall in love too fast, and as a result they fail to realize the truth about what love really is. Love is when two people have truly embraced each other and build a relationship in which they are honest towards dealing with any consequences that may cross their path. Since the two titular characters are too young to make rational decisions regarding love, they fall into conflict with their family's feud because they hide and rush their love which leads to their downfall.

Love is an intricate and complex emotion that has varying amounts of true affection. One might think he is in love with someone, but once he meets a different person, he may change his affection. Generally people agree that love is the highest form of affection, an emotion that produces deeply happy feelings that few events can disrupt. This is true in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet are willing to die for their love of each other. Juliet originally wants nothing to do with marriage or love, but as the play progresses, her new belief in love, and faithfulness, contrasts with her parents’ and nurse’s views.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful love story where the two youths fall in love against all odds and tragically die at the end, defying their parents. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet conveys the idea of true love. Different productions of Romeo and Juliet recontextualises the play making it relevant to new contexts helping the viewer understand the play. The directors who made a production of Romeo and Juliet recontextualise Romeo and Juliet from their point of view, therefore, Zeffirelli recontextualised Romeo and Juliet in the Elizabethan era. The Baz Luhrmann production Romeo + Juliet shows Romeo and Juliet in a more modern era recontextualising the play by using modern language, props, and a modern setting by doing so the

Everyone has heard of Romeo and Juliet and the idea of young love, how two people fall helplessly for each other and would do anything for that one person at such a young age. Well, I don’t buy it, young love is a facade. Young lovers are fools who are enamored with the idea of others flaunting over them, they can’t actually love though. You cannot love someone if you do not really know who you are nor if you do not even know how to love yourself, nevertheless another. I’m sure you are wondering what made me come to this conclusion. Well, buckle up.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. Arguably one of his most recognisable plays, it has been performed and adapted thousands of times into films, theatre, and music, and continues to have a major impact on society today. As the play gets older, it is still being performed to modern audiences but is this play gradually becoming aged and irrelevant to the modern audience? Will it need translation into contemporary English to remain relevant? Through the theme of fate and exploring the work of the modernised film of Baz Luhrmann, we can conclude whether the traditional Romeo and Juliet will need a translation into modern English.
