believe any person or occurrence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. I think the combination of fate‚ history‚ circumstance‚ and personality were what killed them. In terms of history and circumstance we must remember that marriages were arranged back in the sixteenth century.

For Romeo and Juliet there was never really a chance at a good and healthy

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
