One reason I think that Romeo and Juliet is good to teach in ninth grade is because it helps young students to learn about life such as love, and how it can destroy or help someone in love. It is also relevant to teenage boys and girls that are going through problems in the 9th grade. So it can give advice about how to handle things.

The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet is the classic play written by William Shakespeare that follows two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who are mortal enemies that fall in love with each other. The protagonists try to keep their love hidden from their families, but not forgotten by themselves. This play of love and passion has been prototyped countless times on the silver screen, as it is the greatest love story ever told. The most well-known movie versions of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet are Franco Zeffirelli’s (1968) Romeo and Juliet, and Baz Luhrmann 's (1996) Romeo + Juliet. Both versions captured the main essence of the original play with Zefferelli 's staying true to its source while

The first change of the movie, which most people saw almost immediately as this character appeared was Mercutio. He acted a lot different in the movie than he did in the play, in the movie he was more childish, immature, more dramatic. For example when Mercutio started telling Romeo the story of Queen Mab, he was more dramatic and sarcastic but by the end he was almost screaming, and during the Capulet party he was extremely childish, which most people thought was funny but if the situation was more serious, many people would be upset and angry with him. I believe that the director decided to change Mercutio in this way is to make it more dramatic than the play was originally, to make the scenes more tense if needed. The kinds of effects that this can have on a viewer that has read the play make it seem like he is extremely childish, and doesn’t really care about most things, and in some parts of the movie it seemed like he didn’t care that much about things that have happened.

It is a controversial topic whether youth is capable of handling a mature love. Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare by 1595, epitomizes this common topic. The main characters of the play are two teenagers who fall in love at the first sight, however, the hatred between the families of the two leads to their death in the end. In the adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet in 1996, Romeo and Juliet are portrayed more mature than in that of Baz Luhrmann in 1968. This can be evident in three aspects: the styles of the acting of the actors, the reaction of Juliet after learning about the death of Tybalt, and the setting of certain scenes.

The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare was a complete tragedy. They met at a ball, fell in love, and then took their own lives for one another. It was truly heartbreaking, but it was their own foolish decisions that ended up killing them. Romeo and Juliet ended tragically because of their childish decisions they made and it was definitely not the stars that led them together.

Romeo and Juliet is an enduring yet tragic love story written by William Shakespeare about two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were first written in the year 1597, over the years the famous play has remained the most well known and emotionally attaching love storeys of all times. During the play there are many signs that Romeo and Juliet is more about hate rather than love, this can be seen through family, Paris the king's man of prince Escalus and finally the death of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is quite possibly the most well known play of all time. It was written by William Shakespeare during the Elizabethan Era of England. The story is about two star-crossed lovers whose relationship was doomed from the start. This play contains five acts that take place over the course of three days in their time. In act two, scene two, otherwise known as the balcony scene, Shakespeare writes using literary devices like similes, metaphors, and hyperboles to give each line a deeper understanding of the emotion between the characters.

Romeo and Juliet should have lived happily ever after. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a horrible tragedy. The Romeo and Juliet can avoid this tragedy if they make a few significant decisions. The fatal mistake of Juliet is to not tell her father about Romeo, because he was a Montague. Thinking that her father would not like Romeo, Juliet will not tell him. However, Lord Capulet actually thinks that Romeo was a respectable young man. If Romeo receives the letter from Friar Lawrence clarifying that Juliet is not actually dead; he will not rush to the tomb and to kill himself because his true love died. In Act V when Romeo looks at Juliet and kisses her lips, he should realize her skin and lips are still rose with blood. However, all of these dreadful things will indeed happen.

Thus, that is the story of Romeo and Juliet; tragic and average. The whole story of Romeo and Juliet is nothing above an average love story about two teenagers who fall in love with one another. If you really think about it, it’s just like every other romance novel out there - it’s cheesy, romantic and has somewhat of a happy ending - and everyone loves it.

Romeo and Juliet represents two families of similar social economic status and wealth but are in an interpersonal conflict between a flourishing love and a gory family feud. Juliet immensely changes during the course of the movie from a young girl to a mature young lady because she must deal with a forced marriage, abusive parents, and the banishment of Romeo. However, Romeo is a flat character focusing more on love than understanding the seriousness of the feud. When the two beloved children die, the dynamic changes as both families have empathy towards each other, therefore peace emerges from the tragic loss. Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers are very relatable and that is why we still read and watch his play four-hundred years

Five  words to describe Baz Lurhmann’s “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet” is frantic, amplified, energetic, different, and fresh. These words best describe Baz Lurhmann’s interpretation of the most famous play in history. He captures the truth and the meaning behind the story while modernizing the story as a whole. In my opinion, I find Baz Lurhmann’s screenplay more entertaining than the actual play itself.

“To live too die, to live again,” these words you will very much know if you have read romeo and juliet since this is what is said in the book and is acted in so many ways. Shakespeare in all of it’s complicated words and twist in the plot makes it difficult to follow along with what is happening. This is what makes shakespeare a desired author in reading in english class, but many people are starting to realize that shakespeare may actually not be helping students, but this theory is of course only in their opinion. If you were to ask me I would say that shakespeare should continue to be taught throughout high school.
