With today’s newfound technology and means of transportation‚ the scenarios that take place in Romeo and Juliet appear utterly ridiculous to us. The formalities and customs of the 1500’s were vastly contradictory to those of our era. Young girls‚ as young as age twelve‚ were married off to adult‚ sometime much old men.

Romeo and Juliet In my opinion‚ the superior film was the older version of Romeo and Juliet. I think the older version was better than the newer one because it fit the setting of the book more.

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.

The Montagues are continually trying to leave the situation but the Capulets
