Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet is more about hate than love 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. During the play of Romeo and Juliet, there are many signs of hate, the most common and dominant example is the hatred between the two families, the Montagues, and Capulets.
Is Warm Bodies a Good Representation of Romeo and Juliet? The Shakespearean drama, Romeo and Juliet, has had many new revisions and updates; Warm Bodies being one of them. It is clearly farther updated and new, but I disagree that it’s a good representation. It’s simply too different to compare to the original.
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 isn’t as great as some of the other plays Shakespeare has written because it was too predictable. The beginning of the play was way too predictable; Romeo and Juliet falling in love at first sight, especially when their families hate each other.
Romeo and Juliet is one story we have all heard before. The story of two star crossed lovers whose families hate one another. The story was loved by everyone. 2 great people, Baz Luhrmann and Franco Zeffirelli, loved it so much they made a film on it. But both told it in their own unique way.
Although both the play and the movie is dramatic, the movie was more dramatic. When Mercutio died, it was a lot more dramatic than in the play, when Tybalt killed him he looked like he regretted it a little and Mercutio didn’t want help from Romeo when he tried to help him walk, he kept pushing him away. The love between Romeo and Juliet was more immature than in the play, even the movie made it seem more immature than in the play. Even though they both cared for each other greatly, their love seemed a bit childish. Their love is more of a flight of fancy than serious, they tried to be serious but that didn’t work well.
Romeo and Juliet is a well-known play, which was written by William Shakespeare in 1594. A lot of different actors have performed this play throughout the years. One the most important characters in the play has to be Romeo because if wouldn’t have come up to Juliet the play would have been really different. Romeo is romantic, impulsive, and brave.
Terror struck citizens this morning as the Capulet and Montague families continued to carry out their strife publicly on the streets of Verona, resulting in the deaths of Mercutio Escalus, kin to Prince Escalus, and Tybalt Capulet, a dear cousin to the Capulet family, as well as the banishment of Romeo Montague. Both families are reported to be currently morning their losses, and planning to take revenge upon each other. In an interview shortly after the terrible incident, eyewitness Benvolio Montague accounts what he saw earlier this morning. “Tybalt started the fight” Benvolio said. “He came up to Romeo, Mercutio and I, and insulted Romeo to his face.
Most movies that show stories interpret the tale differently than what is in the original text. This often happens to make the movie more appealing for a mainstream movie audience. Both of these lead to differences in the movies that depict the story. This is apparent in the movie Romeo and Juliet by Franco Zeffirelli in 1968 and in Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhrmann in 1996. In the two movies, the tale of Romeo and Juliet is told so plainly differently from the original story.
Also this book can prepare students for the outside world and how to strive for what you want in this challenging society. Although many people feel that Romeo and Juliet should not be taught in high school and have logical reasoning to back up their opinion I feel that it should still be taught due to the reasoning I have previously provided you with prior to this conclusion. Finally I actually like Romeo and Juliet and admire shakespeare for having the imagination to be able to write this and create one of the most unexpected plot twist in play
2013 version of Romeo & Juliet is a British-Italian-Swiss romantic drama film adaptation of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of the same name directed by Carlo Carlei. The film was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on 11 October 2013. Like Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, this film habits the traditional setting of Renaissance Verona, but, unlike previous major film adaptations, this film only monitors the plot and uses some of the dialogue as written by Shakespeare. In the striking city of Verona, where our story takes place, a long-standing hatred between two families erupts into new violence, and citizen’s hands covered with the blood of their fellow citizens.
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
Romeo + Juliet 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.
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.
This was possible not only because of the message the story carries but also because of the way these adaptations are presented, which is appropriate to the time and age they are born in. No matter how daring, colourful, grandiose, provocative or modernist a movie of Shakespeare can be, we know the young lovers will always die and with the foreknowledge of this death, in tragedy we find comfort, beauty and compassion. Whether we watch Romeo and Juliet at the Globe or Luhrmann’s adaptation at the cinema we learn the same lesson and draw the same conclusions that all actions have consequences and even the purest of dream can be shattered by reality. Whether we are sitting in the pit of a theatre or transported right into a derelict, kitsch, vulgar urban setting we commit to memory that nothing good can spring from hatred and rage.
The Lion King, significantly dumb down Shakespeare, but they keep modern audiences interested. And films like Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, offer those that disliked reading the play, a separate medium to enjoy Shakespeare’s masterpieces. With every new interpretation of an artist’s work, we keep that
