West Side Story Romeo And Juliet
1,468 words
As a contemporary musical, West Side Story differs
from Romeo and Juliet in form and detail, but
stays true to the tragedy of innocent love caught
in a complex social web that predestines its
demise. In West Side Story, love at first sight
between Tony and Maria set off a tragic chain of
events which bring the story to its heartbreaking
conclusion. Maria is Puerto Rican, Tony,
Polish-American; they are young, innocent,
rebellious-indifferent to the societal boundaries
which they are trespassing....

Romeo And Juliet Version Of The Play
267 words
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet leaves a
lot of room for creative elaboration. From this
has come countless versions of the play. The two
that I compared are Zefferelli's and Luhrmann's
variations. Both spawned from the original and
brought new concepts to the stage. They were both
distinct and profound in their own execution of
the play. The aforementioned Zefferelli's
adaptation of the play is not for the uneducated
American audience. Rather, one must be able to
comprehend the quick ban...

Merchant Of Venice Room Of One

Feminist approach to reading "The Merchant of
Venice" The Merchant of Venice is widely
considered Shakespeare's one of the most
controversial plays. Among the many issues that
merit discussion, besides the one of
anti-Semitism, are the relationships between
parents and children (there are three sets of them
in the play), particularly involving permission to
marry, the position of women in society generally,
justice and mercy, friendship, matrimony, and the
various kinds of bonds that connect hum...

Romeo And Juliet Tragic Hero

The Tragedy of Hamlet Arguably the best piece of
writing ever done by William Shakespeare, Hamlet
the is the classic example of a tragedy. In all
tragedies the hero suffers, and usually dies at
the end. Othello stabs himself, Romeo and Juliet
commit suicide, British falls on his sword, and
like them Hamlet dies by getting cut with a poison
tipped sword. But that is not all that is needed
to consider a play a tragedy, and sometimes a hero
doesnt even need to die. Making Not every play in

Midsummer Night Dream Romeo And Juliet
676 words
The masks of comedy and tragedy are only
distinguishable by a smile or frown, happiness or
sadness, life or death. The same is true of
Shakespearean plays. The comedies are known for
their happy conclusions, reconciliation of the
characters, a justification of events, and life at
the end. On the other hand, the tragedies are
known for their miserable conclusions, destruction
of the characters, a question of why this had to
happen, and death at the end. Comedies make us
laugh, triumph in the huma...

Midsummer Nights Dream Hermia And Lysander
488 words
Romeo and Juliet (R 038; J) is very
characteristic of a Shakespearean play because of
its recurring themes, language and diction, and
story of a tragedy. Much like Hamlet and The
Tempest, Shakespeare incorporates themes such as
family rivalries, father and daughter
relationships, revenge, and obedience vs.
disobedience. One theme that tips R 038; J off
to be a Shakespearean play is the rivalry between
and inside families. In R 038; J, a rivalry
exists between the two major families of Capu...

Romeo And Juliet Modern Times
377 words
Romeo and Juliet In my opinion, the modern version
of Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Luhrmann can
in no way be compared to the classic version.
Although the directors intentions were visible,
the film itself was not what I would consider a
good movie. The directors intentions seemed to try
to take the original Romeo and Juliet and place
them in modern times. Guns were used instead of
swords and cars were used as transportation. The
language however was not changed to modern times

Movie Review West Side Story West Side Story, a
1961 production starring Rita Moreno and Natalie
Wood, is an adaptation of William Shakespeare s
play Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story is a flashy
production filled with music, dance and light. It
presents Shakespeare s play from a 1960 s inner
city perspective. In the movie two rival gangs,
the Jets and the Sharks, demonstrate cultural
prejudices between Puerto Rican and American inner
city dwellers. The hatred between the two groups
is evident f...
