One of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays is the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet. I believe the reason for this is its strong sense of reality, loss and most importantly love. This collage represents the unconditional love that Romeo and Juliet share through images and quotes found through the pages of modern day magazines.
Love
Love is one of the strongest emotions, as a human we can experience. If we don’t feel loved we crave it to the point of tears, and if we do feel loved we always expect more. There’s just no happy medium. In Romeo and Juliet the two share such a strong attraction that leads them to death.
Happiness
In the collage the images 1, 11,13 and 12 resemble the love between a man and a women e.g. Romeo and Juliet. In picture 11, the warmth you feel in the photo can give you a sense of desperation to feel the safety that the woman shows though facial expression. Romeo gave Juliet this ‘warmth and security’ even without his presence. He made her feel like, no matter what, everything was going to be alright.
Image 1 shows the cheekiness that the movie portrays at times. The happiness that, that kind of love can guarantee you even at a young age is thrilling and leaves you with an endless smile even when thinking about it.
No-one can feel the love that leaves you speechless, and no two people describing love will get the same definition. But the one thing that gives away the feeling of love, is the content smile they carry. In image 13 this is evident as both the male, and female have huge smiles showing how happily in love they are.
Settling for second best
Image 10, portrays a feeling of settling for second best. The image shows a picture of a knight in shining armor, riding a horse, with a sword in his hand, otherwise referred to as ‘a knight in shining armor’ .We often thing of teenage love as, one boyfriend this week, another guy the next .Juliet saw Romeo as her ‘shining knight’ and this should be a role
