    These works of drama and film have many similarities and differences. To compare them, we have to think about the different time background and different society situations of each. In the original Shakespearean comedy, the main setting place is 1590s Padua, a city in Italy. In the movie, it is late 1990s American at a high school named “Padua High School.” In consideration of ages and identification, there are some dissimilar details between the two versions. For example, the main topic from the beginning to the end in Shakespeare’s play is about marriage, while the main topic of the movie is about a romantic relationship in a high school environment. However, although the type of romantic situation is different, essentially the main idea…

    They differ however in how they use the story. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare copies the overall story line but changes most of the details. For example, he includes lovers from two feuding families, but in his play, they are from noble families. On the other hand, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream he turns the story into a plot device in the form of a play-within-the-play. The main points of the story are retained, and it reflects several event in the overall play, but it becomes almost comedic due to the poor acting of the mechanicals. Although the same story plays an important role in both plays, it is used very…

    The two plays had many similarities throughout their storylines. They both shared the same sort of tragedy. “She plunged into her heart the sword that was still wet with his life’s blood” (Ovid 489). Shakespeare utilized this double death circumstance in his tragedy. It is indistinguishable that Shakespeare used some elements of Ovid’s love story and integrated them in his own tragedy.…

    But do your best to steal yourself away, for term of life your art assured me. The previous sentence was taken from Shakespeare’s sonnet #92 which was modernized to today’s use of language. Sonnet #92, by Shakespeare describes his feelings towards the person he holds deeply, happy that he was able to have loved them that he was willing to accept death. That there was nothing that would make him stop loving them no matter what. In Shakespeare’s sonnet #92 he speaks about how happy he is to have love for that person he wouldn’t have any regrets, nothing anyone could say would be able to change his love or anything they say would change the way he thinks of that person.…

    The poems from William Shakespeare and John Donne that interest me are “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” and “The flea”. One of the main reason that I am writing about these two poems are because they are the only ones that I know of because that is what we talked about in class and I have never read poetry in my life. Poetry has always been difficult for me to read because of my mild case of dyslexia. I have to read the sentence a couple of times before I finally figure out what the writer is trying to say. Obviously I have heard of Shakespeare before and knew about his works that included Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Julius Caesar. What I didn’t know was how successful and influential his poetry was. But unlike William Shakespeare, I have never heard about John Donne until the lecture a few days ago. After reading the two poems I believe that there are many similarities and differences in the style that both of these poets write.…

    The sonnet, being one of the most traditional and recognized forms of poetry, has been used and altered in many time periods by writers to convey different messages to the audience. The strict constraints of the form have often been used to parallel the subject in the poem. Many times, the first three quatrains introduce the subject and build on one another, showing progression in the poem. The final couplet brings closure to the poem by bringing the main ideas together. On other occasions, the couplet makes a statement of irony or refutes the main idea with a counter statement. It leaves the reader with a last impression of what the author is trying to say. Shakespeare's "Sonnet 65" is one example of Shakespearian sonnet form and it works with the constraints of this structure to question how one can escape the ravages of time on love and beauty. Shakespeare shows that even the objects in nature least vulnerable to time like brass, stone, and iron are mortal and eventually are destroyed. Of course the more fragile aspects of nature will die if these things do. The final couplet gives hope and provides a solution to the dilemma of time by having the author overcome mortality with his immortal writings.…
