The internal disagreement is shown in Act 2 Scene 2 from Juliet by her face and language which has been explained before. When Juliet is say the quote “ Romeo, O Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” she is looking up and down while the word are coming out of her mouth. This shows that Juliet is thinking and trying to find the answer to her question so much that she is looking everywhere even high and low. The effect that this has on the viewers is that it makes us feel like she is sad and depressed because she is looking up and down because when you are sad you can’t look start because your thoughts are messed up. Also she is expanding her words and making them longer but having a sigh and saying “O Romeo!” she makes the “O” very long to show how long she has been thinking of what to do. Also there is a break between the first “Romeo” and second one. This also shows how puzzled she is. These breaks and long letters made the spectators feel like she needs guidance from someone but she doesn't know who to tell. The conflict is shown also in her body language because it all looks like she is thinking and sad. Even though this line doesn't take long in the movie from the facial expression and body language of that Juliet that she does before she says this line show how much internal ill will she is having because of how lost she is.

    One of the most simple and spoken insults in the play was acted out so properly in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet movie. This one simple scene Zeffirelli used to help create the visual representation. The actors used in the movie production were what tied everything together. Another idea incorporated into the movie was the argument between the servants of the houses, which quickly escalated into a fight which included swords being drawn and swung at each other, involving everyone out on the city's streets. The ways in which Zeffirelli incorporated the live-action scenes are what really added to the movie to create a visual of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.…

    Baz Lurhmann’s film Romeo + Juliet takes Shakespeare’s classic tragedy and drastically modernizes the tale. Although there have been numerous reenactments, on and off the stage, Lurhmann creates one of the most drastic versions seen. With this drastic take the fidelity of the film takes into account. Although the look of the film is not exactly what Shakespeare imagined the themes and characters are mostly true to the play. For instance, Act 3 Scene 1 (the death scene for Mercutio and Tybalt) has all the correct lines, but some actions are different.…

    Shakespeare's timeless dramas predominantly centre around conflict between two opposing characters: Macbeth and Macduff in Macbeth, Romeo and Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet, and of course, Othello and Iago in Othello. I have since concluded that it's really the best way to engage an audience because it encourages stronger audience opinions and alignment to one side or the other; and in the case of Othello, creates a division within the audience as the "correct" or "good" side is less obvious than in the majority of Shakespeare's tragedies. Through my personal reading of Othello, I have come to realise that Iago can be accurately defined as a cynical practical joker throughout the drama of the play; and it is this attribute that wins over much of the audience, and the more naive and ignorant characters like Cassio and Roderigo. It wouldn't be hard to imagine Iago in today's context, conducting cruel or troublesome YouTube pranks, either loved or…
