Comparison Of Shakespeare's Play And Movie Version

Shakespeare is one of the best and most poetic writers that the world has ever seen. His playwrights have survived for around 420 years and are still performed by people today. Shakespeare thrived in the art of playing on people's emotions and drawing his audience in. Using clever puns and imagery to connect people with the actors instead of an omniscient view. This caused people to stay in the present not knowing what will happen next and forcing them to make conclusions for themselves. This is present in the all of the movie of 1968, ‘96, and the play in 2014.

Another difference was that Romeo & Juliet were only seen by the nurse in the party. In the others Romeo & Juliet were seen by multiple people not just the nurse. This meant their relationship was already spreading and making people angry. This film was very close to the original playwright making it fairly different to the
