But, because of their blinding hatred for each other, they allowed it to continue and it resulted in the death of their children. Wed, 27 May 2020 12:54:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897876 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897876 I feel that Capulet's parenting style was very strict towards Juliet. For instance, he said he would drag her to the church in order to get married to Paris and he called her a coward because she opposed.

Wed, 27 May 2020 12:45:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897868 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897868 This is because Lady Capulet is not as concerned about Juliet's feelings towards marriage and having children. While, the speaker in the poem "Black Woman" is much more caring towards her child.

So, I feel that Romeo was in the wrong.

This is because if their families found out then the Nurse and Friar Lawrence would be held accountable for letting Romeo and Juliet.

Although I think that all 9th graders should read it, there are also many other plays and short stories that are not as common and should be read as well. The reason I say this is because many of us students already know the story.

But, at the same time not everyone is able to love who they choose freely because of how the world is.

The director's decision to do this, changes how the audience views the play as a whole. The movie modernizes the story of Romeo and Juliet.

The only thing that ends the feud is the death of Romeo and Juliet. Wed, 27 May 2020 11:20:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1897736 This is because in both scenarios, the families have been feuding for a really long time and are not fully sure how it started. Wed, 27 May 2020 10:53:32 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885417 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885417 This is because Tybalt was Juliet's cousin and she had met Romeo the night before which makes Romeo practically a stranger. I feel like her loyalty should have been with her family over anything/anyone else.

Shakespeare's version of love highlights beauty in a person's flaws and makes it as realistic as possible to the audience. Unrequited love is as romantic because it is one sided.

I also think that because Baz Luhrmann's version was produced in 1996 it was easier for me to interpret compared to Zeffirelli's Romeo & Julitet. Fri, 01 May 2020 10:00:41 -0400
