Romeo And Juliet Theme Of Love
730 words
web Historical Drama The 1996 Luhrmann version of
Romeo and Juliet is unusual because it takes place
in modern times. This creates an interesting
setting for a play written in the 15 th century.
Luhrmann manages to create a movie that is
remarkably faithful to the play's vision and sense
of tragedy without drastically changing the play.
The characters of Romeo and Juliet are a colorful
group. Their changes in the movie are subtle, but
noticeable. The nurse in the play is a
blabbermouth, and is m...

Romeo And Juliet What Is Love
426 words
ter> Has Shakespeare convinced you that Romeo and
Juliet are in love at the end of act one?
What is love? Love means a warm liking
or affection for a person, affectionate devotion.
Does the way Romeo describe Juliet sound like love
to you? In my opinion love does not occur at first
sight, it is something that you need to work
towards. Romeo just describes Juliets beauty and
not her inner-beauty. Beauty too rich for use, for
earth too dear! Romeo is just saying how beauty
like that is t...
