My personal, imaginative representation of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ will be primarily be based on the future image of an Apocalyptic scene. There are a few matters from the genesis text that I would like to alter, such as the fact that Romeo and Juliet do not die. Also, as the genre is future-apocalyptic, the setting will be in the future world where there are two colossal islands, Montague and Capulet, which are identical in size and resources. These two continents hold a grudge that has been building in tension for hundreds of years.

His loyalty to his country and its belief will be mutilated when he recites his speech, and to further convey the message, he changes from his knight uniform to a more ordinary attire. This will represent a change from being enemies to allies, as the knight symbolises war and the ordinary clothes symbolises a normal community where there is equality and everyone works together to create a better society. Juliet will be represented as a goddess, which indicates celestial bodies, harmonious and joyous occasions. It also represents a highly respected person, which further replicates the social stratification that has been implemented in the hierarchical society of Montague and
