Moderation plays a large role in this story because if Romeo and Juliet had not rushed into things their story would probably have a different outcome. They might have actually stopped the fight between their families and still lived. The two of them were told to take things slower like when Friar Laurence was talking to Romeo; “Wisely

Romeo and Juliet Scene Comparison Both the 1968 traditional version and the 1996 modern version present Romeo and Juliet with the same Shakespearean dialogue‚ but the backstory of each is very different.

Tennyson’s Charge of The Light Brigade and Owen’s Dulce Et Decorum Est both explore warfare. However they each have significant differences. Charge Of The Light Brigade was written in the 18th Century and is about the Crimean War. It explains‚ in a very majestic manner‚ that fighting in a war is something every soldier should be extremely proud of. Sacrifices have to be made and bravery is an absolute necessity.

theme of love is in the first act when Romeo is talking of his love for Rosaline with Benvolio. Here Romeo is very confused as he uses oxymorons such as ’o brawling love‚ o loving hate‚’ which shows how he is confused by his relationship with Rosaline as she does not return his love because she wants to be a nun and don’t want to love any man.

Romeo and Juliet The two versions of Romeo and Juliet I decided to watch were the 1968 film and 1998 film. While they share many similarities such as the script (most of it)‚ they also have many differences such as the behavior of the characters and the way that the story is delivered. In the 1968 version‚ the Montagues are depicted as more timid where as the Capulets are the ones that are trying to start something. The Montagues are continually trying to leave the situation but the Capulets
