The specific mood within literature can be difficult to decipher and re-creating that mood in a film can be even harder. The moods in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare are layered and built up to produce a heightened mood. Franco Zeffirelli’s film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet face limitations in portraying this mood because of the abundant monologues within the play that lengthens the film, and differences between modern English and old English that cause misinterpretations. However,…

for him I chose to use the Indian boy, a potion/liquor, and a storm. The reason behind going with the Indian boy is to show how demanding he is and how he’ll do anything for what he wants. I chose the potion/liquor because it represents his power, but also once again shows how he likes being in control of situations.

The theme of magic in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is consistent throughout the play. The climax of the play is due to Oberon and Puck fiddling with magic to get what they want, which shows how much the role of magic carries out in the play. Without magic, the play would not have been the same, and not as entertaining as it turned out to be. Four of the twelve main characters in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are based on common folklore in Elizabethan England, such as fairies and sprites.…

The women who nursed me, and groomed me into the woman I have become today. She is the one who saved me from my parent’s stubborn feud…
