“Romeo and Juliet” is a fictional book about the love of two star-crossed lovers who come to a brutal end due to their family fued. This book has been recreated in many different ways, whether it is the whole book or just a scene. It has been made into books, movies, musicals, posters, and plays.

“Romeo And Juliet” is a magnificent tragedy written and composed by William Shakespeare, taking place in Verona, Italy. Romeo Montague, the protagonist, is first introduced to the readers at the beginning of the play weeping over a lady he barely knew, but wished to have before falling helplessly in love with her, almost a complete stranger. After many days of agony, Romeo's friends and family decide it is enough, and they sneak him into the home of his enemy, the Capulets. Their hope is to find him a new love.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about two-star crossed young lovers, both wanting their own choice, away from their parents covets. The two young lovers in Romeo and Juliet; although young and immature, are in control of their great tragedy, and fully contribute to their behavior and actions.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet effectively appropriates the Shakespearean 16th century love tragedy. So why has Luhrmann decided to appropriate Romeo and Juliet? By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters. The form has had an obvious change as the original play has been adapted into a film. Characters in the film have also been appropriated to correspond with Luhrmann's contextual concerns. Hence, Luhrmann successfully appropriates the original Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet by maintaining similar themes, but altering the form and characterisation to fit his contextual concerns.

Like in the European explorers of their time, Artists were known to try and prove themselves as lusty and masculine as their peers; in Philip Sidney’s life and in his work he yearned for his better half but she was unattainable in life, Would his sonnets work if Astrophel and Stella ended up together?

Romeo and Juliet, a classic play by William Shakespeare, is known to many as a tragedy. But what makes this play tragic? Audiences favor this story because of the emotions evoked from a tale of love that sees two young souls torn apart. However, Romeo and Juliet when under my own definition of tragedy, does not resemble a tragic play. While the death of Mercutio and the deaths of Romeo and Juliet seem tragic, the story does not show one failing when trying to reach their full potential, instead the audience sees a forbidden love and death as a result, which does not demonstrate tragedy. Instead, Romeo and Juliet face flaws from within their families and society, forcing them to stay apart due to conflict. While both Romeo and Juliet try to reach the goal of being together and fail, the flaws of others cause the conflict, not the flaws of themselves. My definition surrounds the idea that the flaws of oneself leads to his or her demise, meaning that the play misses a key characteristic of the definition of tragedy. Both characters seem to die a “tragic death,” however, their death can only be considered sad or upsetting, especially to the audience. This play instead consists of somber scenes that show aspects of a tragedy, but not enough to place this play in a tragic category in the classic definition or in my own definition because the flaws of the main characters do not cause the fall of the characters as they try to reach their full potential. If a character who fell as a
