Comparing Tybalt In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
The star-crossed gnomes meet in a garden while Juliet was trying to sneak a flower back to her side and Gnomeo was on a mission to poison the well water when they find out they're from different gardens. This parallels to the act of Romeo crashing a Capulet party and meeting Juliet, them falling quickly in love, but finding out that their love is forbidden. The

Aside from books and movies, Broadway shows inspired by Shakespeare's plays are another outlet for artist to reflect and recreate Shakespeare's famous works. The well known broadway shows are The Boys From Syracuse, based on The Comedy of Errors, Kiss me, Kate, based on The Taming of the Shrew, and West Side Story, based on Romeo and Juliet just to name a few. Even the Lion King got renewed for a season on Broadway and who wouldn't enjoy a movie with songs already in it multiplied by two? No one. People from spell over the world flock, or flocked, to these shows whenever they were in season to catch a glimpse of the director's work and enjoy hints of Shakespeare without even realizing it. No one wants to hear songs sung in old English. Ophelia tried it and we all know that didn't end well, but the musicals give the audience something graceful to listen to rather than your own mumbling when trying to decipher the ins and outs of Shakespeare's twisted language. It looks pretty on paper, but when you add music and words like “over and ever” with the letter “v” present, it helps the audience better absorb the information better and maybe inspire them to trace back to the original text to gain more knowledge about whichever work they chose to become acquainted with. Until that day, we leave it up to the professionals to make it easy for us making Shakespeare the unsung hero, but respected at the end of the day.
Shakespeare had fans flocking from the left and right in the art field, creating masterpiece after masterpiece that gained as much popularity as the world of his that they were inspired by, but it's too bad that they're were created no earlier than 180 years after his death.
One of the pieces, Ophelia, was painted by Sir John Everett Millais in 1851. The painting, littered with great
Norwood 6 detail, represented the event of when Ophelia drowned herself after being driven mad by
Polonius’s(her father) death. Millais sprinkled symbols that related to the character in the play,
Hamlet, like poppies to symbolize death, and violets to mean chastity, or a youthful death. The artist put so much detail in the painting that the model for Ophelia had to pose in a bathtub full of water for four months, hopefully not successively. Another piece, David Garrett As Richard III made in 1745 by William Hogarth, obviously was created after the thought of Shakespeare's play, Richard III. The incredible painting of David Garrett, a famous actor and stage manager in the eighteenth century, gained much attention for his role as Richard III just like Hogarth’s painting did upon release. Hogarth’s painting displays the dramatic scene in the play,
Richard
III, when Richard wakes suddenly from a nightmare to the ghosts of all of his enemies, who he murdered, came to haunt him One piece that would really catch your eye would be The Three
Witches created by Johann Heinrich Fussli in 1783. Fussli takes the witches from the
Shakespeare play, Macbeth, and makes them come alive on the canvas. These three artists most likely took the same amount of creativity, or more( depending on your opinion of art or literature), to create their masterpieces. Even though Shakespeare created the ground for these artists to walk on to paint these things, people who enjoy art might accept this vessel of knowledge better than the actual literature. Those who enjoy the art aren't missing out on much since they have to address the text to understand the painting anyway, but they might enjoy the freedom in creating their own narrative of the piece and interpreting the famous play within their own right without restrictions and literal meanings. Taking this route, the artist and the ones who interpret it get their own taste of Shakespeare to share with the world,or just their pet cat, leaving the great Shakespeare total as the unsung hero again and fade away into the undertones.

Art in the years of Shakespeare A.D, whether is fall in the category of literature, paintings, or screenplays, Shakespeare’s works made a major impact on the art we get to experience today. The impact was nothing small, but more like a ten on the Richter scale multiplied by one hundred, but that does not even describe how great of an imprint he left on the world. The imprint was so huge, it could rival a Tyrannosaurus rexs’ anyday of the week. Much like dinosaur bones, Shakespeare's remains of his work keep showing up again and again in different shapes, ways, and forms. Even though Shakespeare has been dead for over 461 years, he’s probably still more famous than our current President of the United States, Donald J.
Trump, just because he actually gave the world great art to appreciate instead of the fear of war from foreign countries. In the end Shakespeare left his life’s work for us to experience on our own and we did just that. Artists would configure and maneuver the text a little to give it the flare that they needed to make it their own masterpiece while also capturing the essence of greatness from the original scores from Shakespeare to make their art stretch worldwide to reach everyone in anyway possible. Just to think, that without William Shakespeare, there would be no
Lion King, or Brave New World, or some or the great art he inspired to be admired or appreciated. Of course, this would be great news for incoming high schoolers since they wouldn’t have to go through the pain of the Shakespearean era, but anything good for you is not supposed to be easy to obtain. Struggling for no more than 80 pages is nothing when you get to be apart of something that is bigger than any social event to date. You would get to be a part of a movement that won't stop moving until the world does.
