The three movie adaptations of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, from 1935, 1968, and 1999, are all unique, despite showing the same scene, the introduction to the fairy world. The 1968 version, which was directed by Peter Hall, is not remastered, which makes the quality very poor. The 1935 version seems more like a ballet than a movie, and utilizes Felix Mendelssohn’s Overture and Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. However, the best adaptation is the one from 1999, for not only does it have better costumes, sets, and special effects, but it is also for a more modern audience, something the first two could not capture. That is partially due to this version being filmed more recently than the others, but mostly because the director, Michael Hoffman, changed and added to the original play. Also, the actors in this adaptation seemed to do more than speak the lines; they put in feeling and emotion, something that was lacking in the other versions. Because of this, the video clip in 1999 adaptation of A…

Romeo and Juliet and “Teen Couple Executed by their Parents…for daring to fall in love,” both involve the deaths of the couples all happening at a young age, all of them dying before the age of 19 before any of their parents died. Throughout both stories a common factor is that the couples were forced to make adult decisions about their lives and love lives; while, the adults around them were making many poor decisions. Unlike many love stories where the strong, handsome male saves the damsel in distress, the female protagonists in both of these stories appeared to be stronger than their male counterparts. Maybe that is why when the time came, both mothers…

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet presents us with an array of timeless values that are depicted through Baz Luhrmann's filmic adaptation of the text. The main contrast between Baz Luhrmann's film and the original text is that the film context takes place in a modernised society much like ours today, carrying the same notions that are present within the original text into a society relevant to ours. The Concept of family is a key moral in both Baz Luhrmann's and Shakespeare’s texts that is intertwined with religion and ideas of a patriarchal society forming a complex text that highlights many ideas existing within today's community.…

However Romeo and Juliet weren’t the only ones who experienced a lack of choice. Mercutio, Tybalt, Benvolio, Nurse, lady…
