1. Aspects of Deixis As it is commonly known, a mean of communication is a language. In order the communication to be fulfilled, at least two entities are necessary. One of them has to decode the message and the other one has to decode it. Nevertheless, the function of the decoder and encoder are reasonably different. The encoder has the possibility to drive the decoder. The reason for this is simple – the encoder encodes the message from his or her point of view. The statement of the encoder consists of his or her syntactic form and content as well as specific information which relies on the point of view of the encoder. Consequently, the perspective of the encoder represents the center of the information for his or her message. On the other hand, the …show more content…
• Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene 1 Sampson. A dog of the house of Montague moves me. Gregory. To move is to stir; and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn’st away. Sampson. A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s. Place idexicals can expose the distance between the speaker and the location, which in the example above, is done by this house and that house. Nevertheless, there is something more that can be expresses with the help of these adverbials despite spatial distance, as it is done in the extract from Merchant of Venice. What can be also presented with the help of earlier mentioned adverbials, as in the Romeo and Juliet, is emotional as well as social distance. 2.4.Temporal deixis In the theoretical part of my paper I have mentioned that there are two deictic expressions which can be highly ambiguous (see 1.4), namely now and then.

The two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, they differ from just how do not like each other, and on how they battle most of the time.

Emotions are what propel you forward to reach your goal, but what also stop you from breaking your limits. They are what weigh into our decisions and help lead us to the choices we forever live with. Not only can they determine what we do, but also when and how we do it. At times they are stronger than others, pulling us forward or throwing us back as if we have absolutely no control. Just like in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the entire lives of two teenagers led by the emotions that they couldn’t ignore.
I dare no longer stay” (Friar Lawrence.) “Go, get thee hence, for will not away.”
The repetition of the words ‘slave’ and ‘servant’ establish the overall theme of a binding love. Shakespeare seems to share Petrarch’s idea that love is an almost otherworldly force. Shakespeare uses anaphora in lines 4,5,7, and 9 with his repetition of the word ‘nor.’ These constant contradictions make the reader think that the the speaker believes the exact opposite of what he is saying. His word choice shows the passive aggressive feelings, and underlying resentment the speaker has for his love.
I could not catch what he whispered in his valet’s ear, but I did not have to wait very long to learn why was so cagey.

Dreams can be an escape from reality, but dreamers must guard themselves against becoming trapped in that fantasy.

In William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the use of multiple literary devices makes the play interesting. Dramatic irony, which is when the audience knows more than the characters, occurs numerous times throughout the play and grabs the attention of the audience. Soliloquies, which are lengthy speeches by a character to project their thoughts and emotions to the audience, this allows the audience to be more attentive. Allusions are references by characters to well-known places, events from myths or other literature that cause the audience to be absorbed into the play. After reading this marvelous play, it is obvious that Shakespeare uses dramatic irony, allusions, and soliloquies all written in blank verse to grasp the undivided attention of the audience.

For the cinematography analysis of both movies, I will be basing it on the final scene of both movies. Music and sound In Romeo+ Juliet, the scene begins where Romeo is chased by the police and he runs into the church. There is dramatic opera music as he’s being chased, this music is in the background of all the chaos in the scene with the loud helicopter and the police sirens, and this anticipates a climax for the audience. This chaos dies down immediately when he closes the door of the church, religion is one of the themes in the story, so this symbolises that the church brings peace, although we do still hear the sound of the helicopter to signify that the police are still outside.
