Good morning/afternoon Mrs Douglass and class. Today I will be comparing two versions of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. One of the films was produced in the year 1996; this was directed by Baz Luhrmann. The two main roles of Romeo and Juliet were played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The other film being analysed was directed by Franco Zefirelli, it was released in 1968. Leonard Whiting had the role of Romeo and Juliet was played by Olivia Hussey. The scene being analysed in this assignment is Act 5, scene 3, this scene is the death of the lovers. To analyse these two different versions of the chosen scene, this assignment will discuss the editing, sound, mise en scene, shot size and camera angles used to determine which version executes the theme of tragedy more effectively.…
He says “Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear” this is ironic because in the end it is her beauty which brings about her untimely demise. Romeo starts off with a metaphor “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright” this again uses light imagery but the actual metaphor means her beauty is so bright that fire could learn from her. Romeo also says “For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” this indicates that he is fickle because he thought he was in love with Roseline earlier that evening. He makes references to Juliet being some kind of goddess “make blessed my rude…
“Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off. When presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease.” ( ,). This did not go as planned Romeo never got the letter explaining what was going on as far as he knew Juliet was dead. Romeo had went to get some poison opposed from not having Juliet in his life he had rather die with her so that they could be together at peace finally. Seconds before Juliet had awaken the poison was already upon his lips,he had began to take his last breath.Spending their last moments alive together Juliet had decided to take her life as well. If it weren’t for the feud Romeo and Juliet would be able to live together happily instead their life had to end so that they could be together. Their forbidden love because of the feud caused the death of the two lovers. They wanted to be together but the two families morals got in the way of that. Romeo and Juliet came from two different families who things from very different perspectives Romeo could do things that Juliet’s parents had…
He kneels down beside her, talks to her, and tells her that he is going to kill himself because he wishes to always be with her. If Romeo and been thinking straight he would have noticed and then realized she was actually alive. He says “Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty. Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yet Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.” (5.3.100-105). Then he goes on to say “Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe That unsubstantial death is amorous, And that the lean abhorred monster keeps Thee here in dark to be his paramour?” (5.3.112-114). He obviously notices that something is off about her looking so not dead. But he isn’t thinking so of course he doesn’t realize that she is still alive. So he drinks a bottle of poison and slides to ground dead. Minutes later Juliet wakes up. She sees Romeo’s corpse and bursts into tears. Instead of fleeing with Friar Lawrence she chooses to kill herself because she cannot live without him. There is no poison left in the bottle or enough left on his lips, so she takes Romeo’s knife and stabs herself through the…
In the theme of lightness and dark, Juliet says: “Come night; Come Romeo, Come; thou day in night”(3.2.73). In this scene she is waiting for Romeo to return and deflower her, she refers to him as the day in night while he often refers to her as all things associated with light. This is representing her eagerness as well as how much she is in awe of romeo. Yet all of that love and idolization can easily be reversed. She yells the following at Romeo:“O serpent heart, hid a flowering face”(3.2.73) This line is said when Juliet finds out that Romeo killed her cousin Tybalt. She is cursing him for his actions as well as herself for being naive. These juxtapositions allow for Juliet to a complex three dimensional character who is a love struck teenager but also beginning to come of age and due to aforementioned events, realize her own…
Write two dialogues spoken by the character that reveals this characters personality. O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable. O God, I have an ill-divining soul!…
The young lovers were not murdered by an enemy, nor were they were not victims to an accident; they simply committed suicide. Romeo chose to take his life over living without Juliet, drinking the fatal poison he had purchased. Likewise was the case for Juliet, who, like Romeo, was the sole possessor of blame for her death. In this final situation, she was prey only to herself, with no force or individual controlling and conspiring against her. It was her hand that drove the dagger into her body, tragically ending the love she and Romeo briefly knew. There were no destinies for Romeo and Juliet but their own…
In Chapter 1, Old Major says, “Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.” Is that true? What does the novel reveal about “real enemies”?…
Humor has been used for many generations with an unclear origin. Over time as society progresses, the kind of humor produced adjusts to what fits the culture. One thing doesn’t change however, and that is the purpose of humor which is to provide laughter and amusement for whoever is aware of the topic. In this day and age, we live in a time of humor that is much different than the humor that took place a hundred, or even fifty years ago. Back in 2004, Alain de Botton argued in his nonfiction book Status Anxiety, how humor can be used to not only entertain but it also allows messages regarding society to be safely expressed without the danger that could occur if stated directly. For this reason, Botton believes they play a key role in society.…
“Why, such is love’s transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,... Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall, and a preserving sweet,” He is fonding over Rosalind before the party and as soon as he sees Juliet, he's suddenly in love with her. It is “love at first sight” and he forgets all about Rosalind. Another aspect is when Mercutio is killed by Tybalt; Romeo quickly acts to avenge his death and kills Tybalt,”Alive in triumph—and Mercutio slain!/ Away to heaven, respective lenity,/ And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now./ Now, Tybalt, take the “villain” back again/ That late thou gavest me, for Mercutio’s soul/ Is but a little way above our heads,/ Staying for thine to keep him company./ Either thou or I, or both, must go with him.” Romeo acting on impulse is a contributor to the deaths of Romeo and…

He has to confess his newfound love. The fact that Romeo goes to Friar as soon as he meets her, shows that Romeo confides in the Friar. Even the fact that his newfound love is the daughter of Romeos family’s enemy, the Capulet’s, does not stop Romeo from confessing his love to the Friar. In Act 3, scene 3, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence to see what his punishment for stabbing and killing Tybalt. Romeo calls Friar “Father”, “Father, what news? (Shakespeare 141)”. Friar calls Romeo “son”, “Too familiar is my dear son with such sour company (Shakespeare 141)”. How they address each other is very appropriate for their relationship. Throughout the…
