In this story, (in the ending) there is a lesson that love conquers all, and of course, having a happily ever after because they end up not dying and getting married with the 2 families (red and blue) joining together in

The plot of each film has major differences that affect the overall significance of the scenes. Zeffirelli’s movie shows Romeo mourning over Juliet’s body in the Capulet’s Vault. During his final speech to Juliet, Romeo sees Tybalt’s dead body lying next to her, and begins to apologize for killing him. After Romeo’s death, Zeffirelli also includes Friar Laurence entering the vault to come across Romeo’s body. As Juliet wakes up, Friar Laurence tries to lead her away before she discovers her husband had committed suicide to be with her.

Romeo and Juliet is about two star-crossed lovers that belong to dueling families, the Capulets and the Montagues. They would rather die than live without the other. Much Ado About Nothing tells the tale of Hero and Claudio, lovers who overcome obstacles they have.

Although the romantic love is the main plot for all of these lovers, there is a combination of other types of love mixed in the tales.

One of the biggest qualities I thought both plays shared was the fact that they were both tragedies. In Hamlet you see throughout the play

Throughout history, the classic play The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, has been recreated many times. The play will most likely be recreated a million more. True love stories don’t ever die, unlike Romeo and Juliet themselves. However, this “tragic” ending isn’t entirely their fault.

Oh God, why must this wretched vision be so? You lay with the earth and your blood is stone, yet your passing feels so unreal as if mere touch could stir you. I’d wager there still remains a stain of passion upon your rosy cheek. But you slumber on and shall not wake, not even for me, your loyal servant, though you will never be my king now. Why must you leave me? How can my fading spirit stand hopeless against fate all on its lonesome? How, when foul hopelessness is all that is left to comfort me in this dark time and all happiness I once had flees so hastily from me, departing with you, the one that shall be mourned with all the sorrow an eternity can hold. You must awaken now, my lord! Your royal duty is yet to be fulfilled and excuse is the friend of folly! You must be crowned king. I must leave to serve you as a king, as I have wished so before. Sleep on though, dream on my prince and good tidings to you, for what is heaven if not a pleasant everlasting dream, so I hope.

The famous and critically acclaimed Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, follows the vicious feud between two powerful families of fair Verona. These arch rivals (the Montagues and the Capulets) have children who fall madly in love.

Shakespearean comedies were the pinnacle of laughter in the Elizabethan era. But why were these comedies even considered comedies, why was it funny?

The Shakespearean comedies Much Ado About Nothing and The Twelfth Night used political humor, wit, romantic comedy and complex plots to make the audience laugh.

It is clear that todays entertainment has lost its touch with the more classical influences on its predecessors. However, every so often a movie comes out with the influence of shakespearen plays. Some are very easy to compare, like Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet and Disneys movie Gnomeo and Juliet. Others take alittle more thought, like Shakespeares play Hamlet and Disneys movie The Lion King. Of course these are just two similarities from many.

In the new Romeo and Juliet there was more emotion, and connection. Romeo expressed his love with deeper thoughts. It seems as if he does not do this in the old version as well as he does in the new. For example, at the balcony scene in the old version he is very emotionless. When he is expressing his feelings to Juliet he says everything with a very plain voice. In the new Romeo and Juliet he does the exact opposite. Instead, he says everything with a very powerful voice. This draws the viewers in because of how real the love connection between the two is.
