    Even though people have lived in different eras or different places, some things never change and continue to stay the same, such as qualities of people. Women in completely different time periods have displayed the same character traits when faced with similar situations. These situations are similar because of the reaction they trigger from these independent women. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet reflected qualities of leadership when faced with a difficult situation and in Homer’s The Odyssey, Penelope also showed similar qualities when in hardship. These stories are not related in any way, nor were they written closely together within the same era. This proves that emotions and character traits will always be the same, because people teach their children right and wrong and what is deemed by society as the correct moral values. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, or what time you lived; morals are still morals a million miles away. Penelope and Juliet, though both characters are from completely different stories and eras, they are similar because they both displayed qualities of strength and courage during times of despair.…

    Romeo And Juliet Quotes

    Between Romeo and Juliet in the story Romeo & Juliet, Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet. For starters, Romeo falls in love way too easily. He says to his cousin Benvolio, “Out of favor, where I am in love” (1.1.178). This quote illustrates his compulsive feelings of ‘love’ for a girl who has no interest in him whatsoever. Following his rejection of Rosaline, Romeo is extremely quick to act on his emotions. Montague, Romeo’s father, states that Romeo “Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night” (1.1. 146-7). This passage shows you how quickly he changed after getting rejected once and how it didn’t go unnoticed by the people around him. Finally, Romeo falls in love with eyes and character…

    From watching the older and more modern version of the killing of Mercutio and Tybalt there are obvious differences, as well as hidden ones. The comparison is between the Zeffirelli version and the more modern version. Watching these movies, paying close attention is important because it is not just the scenery and which characters are played by whom, but what the director was trying to portray in this scene. Both these versions were very different and it is obvious that in both cases the fight probably meant different things or played a separate significant role in each movie.…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Benvolio is more civilized than Tybalt. To begin, Benvolio is respectful towards his kin. In a conversation with Montague, Benvolio wishes that “[his] noble uncle…so please [himself], step aside” (Shakespeare 1.1.140-153). Benvolio addresses his uncle with the utmost respect and politeness, depicting his civilized nature. Next, Benvolio tries to avoid violence. Upon seeing a fight, Benvolio intervenes to try and “put up [their] swords” (1.1.63). Benvolio’s trying to avoid a conflict demonstrates his civil actions. Unlike Benvolio, Tybalt is uncivilized. First, Tybalt does not respect the wishes of his uncle. Instead of doing as Capulet bids, Tybalt expresses to his “uncle, ’tis a shame” (1.5.82). Rather than politely doing as he is told, Tybalt snaps back rudely to his elder, illustrating his uncivil side. Whereas Benvolio asks his respected uncle to step aside politely, Tybalt disregards Capulet’s wishes and even retorts with a saucy comment, hence displaying his lack of civility in comparison to Benvolio. Moreover, Tybalt welcomes a fight. When given the chance to avoid using violence, Tybalt does not “excuse the injuries/that [Romeo] has done [him]; therefore [turns] and [draws]” (3.1.65-66). Instead of calmly forgiving and forgetting past offences, Tybalt intends to fight with Romeo. Tybalt is being uncivil towards Romeo, as he is trying to start a conflict with him when unnecessary. In contrast to Benvolio, who does his best to avoid fights, Tybalt strives for a conflict, hence proving him the less civil of the two. In conclusion, Benvolio is more respectful and peaceful than Tybalt, proving him to be the more civilized…

    "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, but portray the characters in diffrerent ways and the characters wear different types of costumes.…

    I find that these works of literature are similar in the sense that both the stories have a “forbidden” love in the storyline. Romeo and Juliet are from two opposing families which are the Capulets and Montagues. They end up falling in love with each other, and secretly get married, but Romeo has to vanish from the city due to him murdering their cousin. Juliet’s parents force her to get married to another man, Paris, but they are not aware of her marriage with Romeo. At first she refuses, but then she “agrees” because she makes a plan to make everyone think she is dead to run away with Romeo.…

    In, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, both characters, Romeo and Juliet, believe that they have “true” love which is unfortunately not true due to the fact that Romeo and Juliet were very young to even know what love was and what it meant to be in a relationship with one another. For example, throughout the beginning of the story there were many instances where both Romeo and Juliet showed that they were young and forced into love not knowing what it meant to be in love. In addition, most teenage love occurrences could be seen as a false love created by various influences caused by thinking love is purely physical and just wanting to be in a relationship to care for someone other than themselves. By comparing Romeo and Juliet’s love to various teenage love occurrences many comparisons could be made due to how similar their love stories are. Overall, the love Romeo and Juliet share can be considered as a very…

    ‘Appropriations are often a reflection of our time’. This can be seen with Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’, a play which was written almost 400 years ago. Although modern appropriations have been made; with Franco Zeffirelli’s, Elizabethan version (1968), and Baz Luhrmann’s (1996) more contemporary version, the essence of the play, and why audiences appreciate it remain the same. In order to highlight this, comparisons between the ‘Ballroom’ and ‘Balcony’ scenes of each film can be made. Although the setting, costumes and props are very different, the underlying themes remain true to Shakespeare’s original text.…

    William Shakespeare once wrote, "Better three hours too soon than an hour too late (Windsor.II.ii). " The play, Romeo and Juliet, exemplifies the true meaning of this quote. It was a tale of young lovers, who fell in love so quickly that many saw it as an infatuation, but I saw it as a story of love. They found the right person at the right time. Yes, it was earlier in life than when most people find true love, but the timing was right for them.…
