Collins, Lawrence. A major chunk of the book is left out in the movie. This change was probably made to keep the movie from being four hours long.

Difference between the movies The introduction to this research paper will be about the differences and similarities of the three different movies of romeo and juliet.
It will explain the kind of technology and the way the people dress, how they live, the way they transport. A gun, obviously, could end a fight in less than a second, which could really reduce the dramatic tension. Having said that, shoot-outs give the Hollywood edge and make the film fit its s setting more. He chose guns.
During the Capulet party, the costumes in the original Shakespeare play seem to be nothing particularly outlandish for the time, with the characters simply wearing Elizabethan garments that would have been worn during any part of that specific era. However, in the film, Luhrmann decides to dress each character in a costume that reflects their personality.
As such, we see Juliet herself with angel wings, Tybalt dressed as the devil, and the center of attention, Mercutio, dressed as a woman.
The fact that Luhrmann kept the dialogue the same as it would have been so many hundreds of years ago makes you wonder if it actually makes sense to change the character names. Choose to go one way or another, surely? Either way, Paris gets a first name: Dave. For some reason, Luhrmann decides to shuffle the affiliations of certain minor characters around. Abram and Petruchio become Capulets despite being Montagues in the original, while Sampson and Gregory are Montagues in the film.
His character is used as a tool to send a letter from Friar Laurence to Romeo, but regrettably, he is unable to fulfill his duty because he becomes quarantined after an outbreak of plague. Fair enough. By Dan Peeke Published Jun 07, Friar Laurence decides to give her a sleeping potion, which shows all the symptoms of death for 24 hours.
Here again we see a difference between the fim and drama. In the film Juliet says goodbye to her parents. In the original play she will do anything so that her parents love her again. In the Third Scene of the 4th Act, Juliet is in doubt about the poison. She is afraid that Friar Laurence wants to kill her because he married her and Romeo once before. Everybody is shocked. The scene takes place in Mantua. Romeo takes a hostage, Friar John, to get into the church.
Romeo fights for his destiny, which is to be with Juliet. Paris dies and his last wish is to lie next to Juliet. Romeo understands this wish and consents. As Romeo dies, he sees Juliet awakening. In the film scene only Romeo and Juliet appear. Romeo says goodbye to his Juliet an drinks the deadly poison, Juliet awakens, sees this and takes his pistol to kill herself.
Prince Escalus regrets this mournfull end. He feels that the parents are responsible for these tragic and unnessesary deaths. He demand that they make peace with each other.. The women Romeo loves are very different types. Rosalinde is exhibited as a heartless and pale hussy. Juliet on the contraray as an angel.
The film version uses symbolism with the costumes at the ball. For example, Juliet wears an angels costume to show her innocence and purity. A good example for such a sonnet in quartett form is found in Act 1 scene 2, Benvolio:. Sonnets do not only sound nice, but are a complicated use language.
The artistic construction is a combination of the repetition of thoughts, associations, images and sounds. The form of sonnets was usually only used by members of nobility, because commoners were too uneducated in reading and writing and did not know this style of language.
Shakespeare did not have the technical means which we possess today. Also, he would not have used them either! Often Shakespeare uses metaphors.
This is a drastically different language Friar Laurence uses here. He sounds very serious using many puns and rhetoric. I want to point out another example of a nice pun:. There is a good example in Act 2 scene 2 where Romeo compares a life of eternal chastity with the moon to show his gravity. The moon which Romeo means is Diana.
Important metaphors are translated literally, like in the balcony scene Act 2 scene 2 , for example:. I noticed, that the old English language sounds often similar to German. Also I wondered about different words I never have heard before. If you consider these aspects it is clear why this literature is so fastidious and requires much thought to enjoy.
Symbolic delineations were not rare, especially among these lyricists like Shakespeare. Homophonical heartless compared wih hartless.
Hind means a cow or farmer. So this example means a heartless farmer or a cow without heart. Shakespeare worked under extreme primitive conditions. On stage exists only a balcony, a flap on the roof; which is the way to heaven , and such a flap on the floor; which leads to hell, and there is room for a few musicians to sit and play. Shakespeare did not like extravagant costumes and stage backgrounds, so actually there were great demands made of the actors for a successful performance.
To use the theatre like Shakespeare did is almost impossible today.
