In conclusion, big transformations occur to Juliet throughout the duration of the play. Shifts in Juliet can be seen during when she contemplates about marriage, when she falls in love with Romeo, and finally the last scene when she dies for love, transitioning from an innocent and obedient girl in the first act to becoming a rebellious and heart-broken woman at the end of the story. Shakespeare did this on purpose to display how love can make a person change. Also, Shakespeare shows how unpredictable love can be in a good and bad way. Juliet matures into someone willing to give up everything for love: her family, her beliefs, and her life. Clearly, love has a strong impact on
Romeo is portrayed as an emotional and reckless character. His friend Mercutio and Fr. Lawrence comment on Romeo’s fickle attitude when he immediately falls in love with Juliet completely forgetting about Rosaline, his first love. Romeo quotes,” Did my heart love until now? Foreswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty until this night”. His love for Rosaline was superficial. Juliet transforms Romeo’s immature and erotic infatuation to true and constant love. After meeting Juliet he matures very quickly. Maybe Romeo’s love for Juliet is so intense because unlike Rosaline, Juliet reciprocates his

The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.
In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, love transforms Juliet. Early in the play, Juliet is a young girl who is very faithful to her family.

Within the play titled Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the character Juliet of the Capulet family changes her attitude toward love and marriage. Shakespeare's play displays that Juliet’s attitude adjusts throughout the play; she goes from being an independent woman who does not seek marriage, to having a cautious love, to eventually hopelessly in love.

Did you know that a girl knows when a guy is looking at her in a lustful way? Girls feel hurt when a guy only looks at her physical appearance rather than appreciating her as a person. Don’t be that guy that looks at her shape because what about her eyes! They could be blue like the ocean but you wouldn’t know because you weren’t looking in the right spot. “Any person can tell you they can feel the difference from when someone looks at them with love or with lust” (Hostetter).
A Change of Minds The power of minds maneuver as did Romeo’s when he pulled out his sword on a Capulet, initially ending and taking for granted his already precious time with Juliet. Shakespeare conveys the play Romeo and Juliet as star- crossed lovers, too madly in love to see reality, which they bypass and are set on a pathway of regrets. From the threshold, Romeo and Juliet were cursed by fate, for their families were rivals, essentially forbidding the love between the two. Along the way Romeo and Juliet’s secrets, lies, and fate, all rely upon a driven scientist, and the inseparable love they possess for one another. In spite of their own history of rivalry, not once did Romeo and Juliet let harm's way interfere with one’s disdained,

The scene that was most different between the play and the movie of Romeo and Juliet was how the two crossed lovers first met each other. In the play Romeo and the Montague boys find out about the Capulet party through a poor peasant who could not read the invitations. While in the movie the Capulet party is announced through a newscast over T.V. I think the director changed this so the invite can go more along with the time period of the movie. This could change how the viewers see it by making the invite less secret. Over a newscast anyone who was paying attention to the T.V. could of heard the invite. Another main difference in this scene would be Romeo and Juliet first seeing each other in the bathroom across a fish tank rather than across the ballroom in the play. This could take away from the romantic side of the two first seeing each other. In the play it seems Romeo and Juliet have more privacy when they first speak to each other. In the movie the two are getting on and off an elevator just not to be seen. This could add more suspense to the scene and make the viewers see the movie from a lofty viewpoint.

How come two tragic heros had to fall to end the war between two families? Hard to believe but, sometimes people have to die to positively change something in a way. A tragic heroine is a character in a play or story that tragically is doomed for downfall. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet starts off as a woman under pressure from her parents, and she only complies with her parents just to show obedience to them. In the script(Act 1, Scene 3, lines 65-100), she was being pressured to give in to marrying Paris, but at the same time she was showing obedience to her mom and only responding to her briefly.
