Analysis of Act 3 Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet In this scene we see Juliet loose the closeness of all the people she loves: first Romeo who has departed after spending the wedding night with her; secondly by her father who viciously turns on her when she refuses to marry Paris; thirdly by her mother who declares ‘I have done with thee’ when Juliet begs her for help in delaying the proposed marriage to Paris; and lastly by the Nurse whom she tearfully turns to as a last resort for advice and help.

There are millions of different well-known plays around the world, some of these plays have been performed many times over and over again. Even though these plays are repeatedly performed, every time there is a difference, every time something has changed. Directors have this power and ability, to be able to change how a character looks, or the point of view, or even just the facial expressions of the character. All of these little differences affect the play and make it look brand new every single time. This will be shown through the comparison of two different Romeo and Juliet production of Act 2 Scene 2, the balcony scene. One of the productions is by Franco Zeffirelli and the other by Baz Luhrmann. In my opinion, the production that was the most

In Act II: Scene 5, Juliet who is deeply in love impatiently waits for the Nurse to return with news from Romeo about wedding plans. Juliet’s upset with the Nurse considering her belief messages about love should be fast as thought, “Love's heralds should be thoughts, which move ten times faster than light from the sun.” Regardless of the Nurses old age, Juliet’s accusing her of not having feelings considering she knows of Juliet’s eagerness. At first, Juliet thinks the Nurse could not find Romeo. Juliet even begins to put down old people saying they’re all slow, “But old folks, many feign as they were dead, Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.” When the Nurse returns she calls her a nice word, “Honey.”

“This fight has a lot to do with hate but it has more to do with love” says Romeo Montague. Romeo understands the real motive of the feud when everyone around engages in the fight unaware of its stimuli- tribal alliance. In the play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare displays loyalty to one’s own people through multiple characters. They show blind loyalty which eventually leads to tragic events. Loyalty is shown throughout the play by family members, friends, and servants.

One of the importances of the first scene of the play is to introduce the audience to the majority of the lead charecters such as Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio and Tybalt, Sampson and Gregory, Lord and Lady Capulet, Lord and Lady Montague and Prince. Along with the different themes and use of language, which varies from crude to poetic,

William Shakespeare, a world-renowned playwright, poet, and actor, has been known for centuries all around the world for his great variety of brilliant, poetic, and creative plays written during the Elizabethan Era. Shakespeare’s plays have the reputation of being among the greatest in the English language and Western literature, traditionally divided into the genres of tragedy, history, and comedy, and comprising of various imaginative settings, plots, characters, and conflicts.

“Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare’s play written in 1594, was produced again at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in London and directed by Dominic Dromgoogle. The play written about two star-crossed young lovers, whose families are enemies, ends predictably in tragedy. Shakespeare’s Globe Theater was the perfect venue for this production. Romeo, played by Adetomiwa Edun did a wonderful job portraying the new lover who is smitten with a woman, while Juliet, played by Ellie Kendrick, certainly looked the very young fresh-faced innocent teen. The audience seemed very engaged with the actors in this play. Dromgoogle does an excellent job of recreating the high drama in this play with his choice in music to set the change in moods, the costume choices for his cast, his humorous characters (my favorites are the servant Peter and Juliet’s nurse), along with great sword fighting scenes.

Romeo and Juliet is a play with an extravagant twist written by William Shakespeare who was a play write in the 16th century. The play is about 2 star crossed lovers whose families hold an ancient grudge against each other. Throughout the play the theme of conflict is constantly conveyed. I am going to explore the method Shakespeare uses to present conflict in act 1 scene 1 and act 3 scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet.

During the English Renaissance, William Shakespeare, wrote plays within three distinct genres: tragedy, comedy, and history. While his historical plays occasionally borrow dramatic elements from his tragedies, Shakespeare set a clear division between the lighthearted ambiance found in A Midsummer Night's Dream and the heart wrenching despair that pervades Hamlet. However, Folger Theatre has cleared this divide with fervor. Romeo & Juliet, a play that was once the epitome of tragic theatre, is no longer pigeonholed to the tight confines of tragedy in regards to mood and tone. While the original dialogue and themes are unchanged, and the show is still classically categorized as a tragedy, the first act of Folger’s adaptation plays out like a

Romeo was outside of Juliet's window basking in her beauty when she came out and started talking. Confessing his love for Juliet, he was calling her the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The main idea of this passage was even though Romeo and Juliet's family hates each other, they still decide to get married and to love each other. Juliet said that a rose would smell just as good if they called it by another other name, meaning that we could call a rose feet for example, and it would still have the beauty. This relates to their situation because Romeo is a Montague, but according to Juliet, that doesn't make a difference for her. This shows that she is willing to look past almost anything to love Romeo. Juliet also shows us how mature she

In Act 2 in Romeo and Juliet, it starts off with Romeo already outside after the ball deciding that he does not want to go home. He has his mind set to finding Juliet, so he goes off and climbs the wall of the Capulet’s house and jumps down into their orchard. Meanwhile, Benvolio and Mercutio call out Romeo’s name in hopes of finding him, but Romeo doesn’t answer, so the two go home. Juliet appears at her window right above where Romeo stands. Romeo compares Juliet to the sun but speaks only to himself, not Juliet. Juliet says a few things thinking she was alone, but Romeo catches her off guard and responds to what she said. Romeo confesses his love to Juliet, but Juliet thinks that he is moving too fast. The Nurse calls for Juliet, and
