Romeo and Juliet Love as a cause of violence Romeo and Juliet were “star crossed lovers”. This is for the majority of the time which not a good thing because “star crossed” means that you have no choice in the matter. The “stars” have decided it already. This makes it so you have never had a choice in your life and your life has been planned out from the beginning and can lead to disasters just like what happened in Romeo and Juliet. Violence and love have always been close together in movies

Inside the Walls of Verona The tragedy Romeo and Juliet boasts a wide assortment of characters. Many of whom are often at odds with one another.

Why would someone just say that the Tomb of Juliet is the Juliet from “Romeo and Juliet” tomb. Furthermore‚ it specifically says that it is the tomb of juliet. Finally‚ why would they make the tomb and houses if the drama was fake and Juliet wasn’t actually put in the tomb. Why would someone just say the tomb was Juliet’s. People wouldn’t just say the tomb is Juliet’s because if

idea is made exceptionally obvious in Romeo and Juliet‚ seen through the lovers’ rash decisions which eventually lead to their dismal end. In the Elizabethan era it was not uncommon for people to marry as young as 12 years old‚ and Romeo and Juliet are pictured as being teenagers themselves‚ meaning that they are lacking the maturity that may be necessary in order for them to make the correct decisions in their relationship. From the onset of the play‚ Romeo is characterised as a person who is very

Act 2‚ Scene 5 - Juliet and the Nurse "Sweet‚ sweet‚ sweet nurse‚ tell me‚ what says my love?" (RJ 2.5.55) In Zeffirelli’s version of Romeo and Juliet‚ Act 2‚ Scene 5‚ Juliet seems bratty and impatient because the nurse fails to deliver the information about Romeo as soon as she walks through the door. Luhrmann made his version more modern‚ and makes the characters kinder to emphasize their relationship. These movies contain some similarities and differences; they both use some of the same lines
