Comparing And Contrasting Characters In Romeo And Juliet

In the tragic love story Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespere, although the major characters ultimately determine the fate of Romeo and Juliet, it is the minor characters whose decisions and behaviour throughout the story create the most interest. In particular, it is Tybalt’s irate character, the Nurse’s loving yet comic nature as well as the contrasting attitudes of both Romano and Juliet’s parents whose influences on the major characters generate interest; making Romeo and Juliet a very thought provoking play.

Honourable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow students. A very good morning to you all. Today I will be speaking on the topic, "O, I am fonrtune's fool!"

The big talk with all teens these days, is romeo and juliet (not really). They are all wondering the same exact question: Whose fault is it that romeo and juliet went through their horrible tragedy together. Is it the families?... Romeo?… The friar?… Well, you guessed it in the title. It is all juliet's fault that all of this ever went down. The main idea of the essay today will be how juliet messed up everything. Yes, there were many other people that contributed to their deaths, like the nurse, but the main problem of all of this, is Juliet. I will talk about her main mess ups and how she could have fixed these problems.

I think you should let Romeo and Juliet be together for the following reasons. One, if Romeo and Juliet can love each other despite being from two families that hate each other then who is to say the two families can't get along just enough to let them be together. Two, if Romeo and Juliet were still here and did get married they could have brought there two families closer on a mutual agreement for the couple. Three, Romeo and Juliet are dead, they both killed themselves over each other because you didn't let them be together.

Romeo is the lover in the story and hates to fight and always try's to stop people from fighting. Romeo and Juliet William Shakesspear Romeo and Juliet they fall in love at first sight and they have only known each other for a few days and they get married and kill each other. In the first paragraph it states that Romeo is a lover not a fighter. In the second paragraph it states that romeo is in love and the third paragraph states that romeo is a peace maker.

Though he did make some cuts that take away from the meaning and characters of the play, the reason often made sense. For example, Juliet’s soliloquy in act 4 scene 3, which is incredibly important because it shows the darkness of Juliet, was cut because the death scene does not take place in a tomb and that is the main topic of her soliloquy. Although the audience missing the dark depression of Juliet in this soliloquy, he compensates for this by making the Juliet scene with her father where he tells her she is going to marry Paris, be much more emotional. Another cut was the death of Paris, which at first seems like an important plot point to leave out, yet other than showing Romeo’s determination to see Juliet, really has no purpose. Luhrmann

Please Know that I make haste with the remedies going on in the walls of Verona. Today and tomorrow may look burdensome and dreary, being then the fool of time and fortune as the stars have made thee. Yet still, as I have promised, your fair Juliet shall come to thee once more. For Paris stands not in the way of thy love, nor the lord or lady Capulet kin. Make knowing of yourself the pact array, for your fairest one’s path to you is through chimera and gray. She hath taken a vial, upon my prescription, that will stream through her core. The concoction will cause illusioned death, of the coldest persuasion. To the truth of truths, she lives, yes, but no warm lips or swell cheeks shall attest upon this fact. Her discovery, in such

Some distinctive differences in the time period were that the Friar had tattoos and they wouldn't have that technology back then. Another huge difference is that they drive cars and use guns, instead of swords and riding horses. The Montagues and Capulets fight at a gas station and in the setting of the play they didn't have gas stations because there wasn't a need for them. In some of the other fight scenes the Price flies in on a helicopter which is a modern invention. Then a small detail, but an obvious modern day twist is that of the way Romeo payed for the poison,not with gold but with money.

The Death Scene in the text version has more tension. It perfectly states the events that occur between Romeo and Juliet that leads them to their death. On the other hand, the Luhrmann version also describes well the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet but has a lot of differences due to its modern time era.

Furthermore, the play also incoperates tragedy since Romeo's companion Mercutio is slain after dueling with Juliet's cousin Tybalt. In act 3 scene 1 Mercutio and Benvolio are standing outside when Tybalt comes around picking a fight with Mercutio. Mercutio and Tybalt than duel and while Romeo tires to stop both of them Tybalt takes the opportunity and stabs Mercutio in the chest. This is tragedy as Romeo's companion and best friend dies at the hand of his loves cousin. Thus proving that the play Romeo and Juliet revolves more on tragedy than love.

The leading example of the lesson taught is when Romeo and Juliet have their first night together. Their meeting arises immediate disregards to their families hatred for one another and results in plans for a secret marriage. It begins when Romeo goes to the Capulet ball with his friends and meets Juliet. Their exchanges are interrupted when Juliet must go to her Mother. Later, the nurse tells Juliet that Romeo is a Montague. Juliet overlooks this the extent of this issue and says, “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown; / and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me / that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 1.5.151,155). Juliet and Romeo both know that what they are doing is wrong, but Juliet

He was horridly torn, spilt in three different directions, each incredibly different. On one hand he was terrified, absolutely aghast an the idea, the threat that Amaimon would be hurt. On the other his hazy mind tried to absently admire his horns, his tale. He couldn't help it, especially with as quickly as he seemed to be slipping into unconsciousness. Yet there was some overriding sense of gratitude...? He wasn't sure what to call it, but it filled him with warmth all the same. Awe, perhaps. It was just that...no one..on one in the world, in any world had ever done such at thing for him. Had never rushed to his defense had never put their lives on the line. Amaimon had rushed to his side that dreadful night early on in their marriage, smudging

Had Romeo and Juliet the higher IQ too or just love affair? While today's most lovers have the higher IQ, but even that, they fail.

I can’t relate to most of the play scenes from Romeo and Juliet because of many reasons such as the feud between their families. The Capulet and Montague family have had a family feud between each other and caused a fight in the town between Tybalt, a Capulet, and Benvolio a friend of Montague. Tybalt had yelled, “...I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee coward!” (1, 1, 72). This shows his hatred he has been taught over time in which made all Capulet descendants, such as Romeo and Juliet, born to hate each other and yet, they end up falling in love at first sight. I can’t relate to this because my family is not against anyone and also, not forcing me into any marriage proposals similar to in the play as Juliet

The acclaimed play Romeo and Juliet has inspired numerous film and play makers to recreate the love between the main characters. In the 1996 production of Romeo + Juliet, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, each character is depicted in a much more flamboyant light than in the 1968 version. Despite being based on the same original play, the 28 year difference between the release dates resulted in a significantly changed audience. Similarly, the epic poem Beowulf, originally written in Old English about a hero who defeats a seemingly unassailable, “violent, and cruel” (23) oppressor, has been translated multiple times. Each translation differs due to the intended audience of the translators. The differences in the structure and characterization
