The book Beowulf‚ translated by Burton Raffel and the film Beowulf directed by Robert Zemeckis are two almost completely different versions of one story.

The driving force of evil in Romeo and Juliet is hidden‚ the undercurrent of unreasonable hate between two groups. I find the violence in Romeo and Juliet to be more pointless than in Othello‚ at least Iago had a reason.
