Romeo and Juliet Essay

they drove around in their cars blaring the music just like teenagers do now. In the play they seemed to walk everywhere. Also, in the play the words they used to describe Romeo make him seem to be more depressed. In contrast, in the movie he seemed to be more relaxed and happy about everything. Although the love Romeo and Juliet share remains the same through both, the play and the movie, it changes slightly. The movie treated the romance between them as more immature and as a flight of…

Before even mentioning anything that I liked or disliked one thing must be said. Romeo and Juliet is a great tragedy, a famous story, and written incredibly well by William Shakespeare, one of the greatest writers in english language. Despite that, it is not perfect. There are many things that can be praised upon and adored, as well as things that could have been improved. Some of that comes with the age we live in and what writing we are exposed to before hand, and another part because no…

Romeo and Juliet, a classic that everyone knows as a romantic movie about two teenagers in love. Everyone being everyone who hasn’t read the play. The play is quite brutal actually, with there being five deaths major deaths by the end. Romeo being responsible for Tybalt (Juliet’s cousin) and Paris (Juliet’s supposed to be husband). Romeo kills himself thinking his love is dead; who he had known, married, slept with, and ded with all in the course of a week. Juliet soon wakes up because she isn’t…

the tragedy. Inasmuch as, the story of Romeo and Juliet; authored by William Shakespeare, that does not halt in a cheerful manner, portrays that there are many factors for the death of Romeo and Juliet. With this in mind, I resolutely believe that Romeo is the character most accountable for the decease of Romeo and Juliet. In the first place, Romeo is the character who agreed to attend the Capulet’s ball. Although, Benvolio is the character who informs Romeo about Rosaline…

Romeo and Juliet is a play full of decisions too quickly made and poor choices that reflected throughout the play. As a matter of fact, Shakespeare wanted to give the reader the lesson that when you urge yourself to do things, bad consequences may replace the good outcomes your decisions could have given you. Romeo and Juliet’s love and death also were rash outcomes of decisions too quickly made and feelings not well controlled. It requires great capacities to imagine how the many bad choices…

Throughout all the texts we’ve read in class by William Shakespeare, we have seen love depicted in multiple different ways, from paternal and pathological to romantic and even erotic. The love that we have seen has been conducted in many different forms as well, including familial, homosocial, and hetro/homosexual; Shakespeare has showed these types of love in varying degrees of sincerity. Shakespeare’s sonnets are a perfect example of how he depicts love in different forms. He uses the speaker…

The character that was the most different from play to movie was one of the protagonists, Romeo. For one, he is happier in the beginning of the movie than in the play. In both, Benvolio finds Romeo moping, but rather than whining to his friend about his despair like in the play, he banters the lines with him, plays pool, and is much less pathetic. He is also much less pathetic later in the film when he is banned from Verona. Rather than throwing himself on the floor, weeping into the…

Juliet Capulet, one of the main characters within the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, has exceptional dynamism. Her character begins as one with delicacy, obedience and collectedness; she behaves in a refined manner, obeys her parents without a word, and always thinks with a calm demeanor. Once she meets Romeo, though, her personality makeup does a large turn in the opposite direction. No longer as she was, she becomes seemingly hysterical, defiant, and irrational. There are…

Romeo and Juliet is the story of two star-crossed lovers who end up both tragically commiting suicide for each other's love. Each one of their families don’t approve of the forbidden love. Romeo gets banished from seeing Juliet and Juliet ends up faking her own death for Romeo. Eventually they both end up dying for each other. Love is an undeniable force of nature. Two people who fall in love with each other is rare and is something you don’t commonly see. True love in the end is worth the…

Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed lovers whose relationship never stands up to the test of time, but is it possible that Shakespeare’s play is more than just a passion fuelled story of love? Being over 421 years old you wouldn’t think that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet poses any relevance to our modern society, but by stripping the play down to its core you can see it’s blatantly obvious theme of love. The theme seems to have numerous ties to our contemporary civilization, such as the social…
