Imagine loving someone so much that you would die for them. Two teenagers meet at vulnerable points of their lives and are then forcibly separated. Their warring families are the source of their violence. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, love leads to death as shown by Mercutio,Tybalt, and Romeo & Juliet.
Romeo and juliet is very similar to the story “Pyramus and Thisbe” because the theme was nothing can keep love apart. Watching some of my favorite youtubers, and seeing shows backs up this statement because they will fly to far places and will not care about the expenses, or anything that will provide an obstacle because they are inseparable with their love for each other.
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. The inclusion of these characters shifts the attention away from the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, taking away from the romance and heart break that this scene should convey to the viewer.

In The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, several other characters influenced Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, including Mercutio and Friar John, Friar Lawrence, and Lord Capulet.
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.
