Romeo's Unrequited Love
Rationale:

The screenplay written by me is for a movie called Star-crossed like the lovers are called in the original play's prolog Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Its genres are romance, tragedy, and drama. I chose the dying scene of Romeo and Juliet, because of its dramatic impact on the entire community of Verona and really exhibits Romeo and Juliet's naive and inexperienced tendencies.

The film follows two young adults and their journey in experiencing loves boundaries as impulsive risk takers. Chases’ life is interrupted when he goes to a school dance to get over his unrequited love. He meets there Emma, a shy girl who suffers from a disease which can cause her to die if she passes out.

    Romeo and Juliet is hailed as a staple of romantic literature, with beautiful prose and loving relationships. However, while its language is eloquent, Romeo and Juliet’s relation is the antithesis of a good relationship. Any relationship which involves both parties ending up dead within a few days of meeting each other is probably not healthy. It’s clear both of them rushed into it based on superficial reasons and stupidity ended it early.…

    Furthermore, it is in order to strengthen the theme of forbidden love that Sater, once again chose to quote Shakespeare. For instance, when Wendla learnt that she was pregnant she sang the song ‘’whispering’’ (81), which was a direct reference to Romeo and Juliet. By referring to this play of youthful passion, Sater clearly wants to emphasize the forbidden love between Wendla and Melchior. A second example of forbidden love in the play is the incest between Martha and her father. After having admitted to her friends that she was being sexually abused by her father, Martha refused to talk about it to anyone one else, being too scared of the possible outcomes. Indeed, this feeling of fear is apparent in the song “The Dark I know Well”, where she sings “God, it’s good-the lovin’- aint it good tonight? / […] It’s just you and me. / Child you’re a beauty. / There is a part I can’t tell/ about the dark I know well.” (46). Indeed, being sexually abused by someone as close as a father is really shameful for a child. Clearly, this shame is part of what prevents her from telling her story to the authorities. The theme of forbidden love that is seen here along with the theme of shame is also later…

    “An intense feeling of deep attraction.” That is the definition of love. Love between a man and a dog, a kid and ice-cream, a mother and her family, and love between two selfless people. This is true love. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the feeling of attraction between the two main characters is not true love. The setting of this play is the streets of Verona, Italy, during a time when arranged marriages at the age of 14 were socially acceptable. Two young teens, Romeo and Juliet, were convinced that they had feelings for each other, but acted more out of lust than anything else. Lust is defined as “a very strong sexual desire”, and it becomes more apparent as the play progresses that these two young teens act on lustful desires. Love is more potent than lust, but it is clear that Romeo and Juliet act out of sheer lust, not love.…

    “Love begins with an image; lust begins with a sensation” was once said by Mason Cooley. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet tragedy, Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other led to great consequences and speculation as to whether the love was pure or if it was just infatuation. The consequences that Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other caused should be faulted on parental influences and family feuding.…

    Romeo & Juliet are star-crossed lovers, their parents had a feud for a long time. The two young lovers fall in love & secretly get married. They end up killing themselves for each other. Love is an intense feeling of deep affection & I agree with the quote “Those have most power to hurt us, that we love,” because the feeling is so intense and deep that not only a good feeling come from it, it will hurt you just as much. I also believe that Romeo & Juliet had this love because they were so in love they were will to fake a death for each other but when it actually came down to it, Romeo thought Juliet was actually dead, so he then killed himself & when Juliet woke up & saw his lifeless body, she killed herself as well.…

    While many die hard readers of this play might be tempted to classify Romeo & Juliet’s relationship as an example of true love, their relationship is actually an infatuation. Although some might argue Romeo and Juliet were in love because they made sacrifices. One piece of textual evidence is when on page 236 they could use when Romeo killed Tybalt and Juliet made a sacrifice of her cousin for their love. But this is not persuasive because she chose her lover over her own flesh and blood which shows its an infatuation it has greater emotional hold over a loved one’s death that could never happen the cousins death would cause more emotion, over just a lover being forced to…

    Stories have always been a very important form of entertainment and date back countless millennia. A specific type of story, a love story, shows the audience of love, and teaches them something about it. The story of Romeo and Juliet is a widely known Shakespearean tragedy and love story. The play is about two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love or lust, depending upon how the audience sees it. The two believe they cannot be together because their two families, the Montagues (Romeo), and the Capulets (Juliet), are fighting. The two lovers are only in the relationship for sex, meaning they are not truly in love. Eventually, the two get married (in secret), causing problems, like them going to hell if they marry again.

    Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous ‘love stories’ of all time, but does that title truly fit this tragedy? Was Romeo and Juliet’s love written in the stars? Was it love or was it simply fervent infatuation? Throughout the play, although Romeo and Juliet did show quite strong feelings for one another, it was not enough to call it ‘love’. Two teens caught up in their own small world, blind not to see what consequences their actions would create. Their bond could not be classified as love because of Romeo’s shallowness, their lack of emotional intimacy, and Romeo’s selfishness.…

    In Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night most of the character’s actions and thoughts are motivated through love. In modern and past society love is viewed as a gift or blessing, but in this case love is the main cause of suffering and characters that do fall in love are most of the time misguided and acts of cruelty either fall on them or they cause them.…
