Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a story that is still profound and relevant today, some four hundred years after it was originally published. Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film version of the play is a postmodern interpretation and he has successfully “made [the story] available to a whole new audience” (Hutcheon. 2) through his use of interesting film techniques that are able to tell the story in an innovative way. In the film, Luhrmann does away with the famous balcony but rather has Romeo and Juliet meet next to the swimming pool in the Capulet mansion. In this scene, Luhrmann uses a close up while Romeo is saying his famous lines “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?”

The Character Development of Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a story that only spams the course of four days, however the protagonist Juliet goes through so much change. In this essay I’ll be focusing on how her character develops during the pay. When we are first introduced to Juliet she is quiet, obedient, innocent and deferent. In act 1 scene 3, her mother questions her about her view on marriage, she answers, “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move.” This suggests that she is immature because she had a childish conception of love (one can’t simply try to love).
In early America, women had very limited options and lived up to the roles outlined for them; which was the homemaker. They were viewed as the caretaker of the home; making sure the needs of the family were met. It was until the Revolutionary War where things took a turn that would forever mark the impact women had on history for the United States. According to the online article, “Women have a long, but underappreciated history in the American military, serving in every conflict from the American Revolution to the current War on Terror.”
Throughout the history of Shakespearen literature, Shakespeare tends to develop the characters in to a way that complements the story. For an example, in Macbeth, he shows the digression of the main character by an internal conflict residing from a mental condition, if he did not explain every detail of his thought process then the story would be bland and not a literature masterpiece. Another key example is the story of Romeo and Juliet, even though it is a romantic piece, he still assigns different personality traits to each character. Which makes them a key asset to how the story concludes and the theme the reader is left to discover. One of the biggest colliding character interactions is Benvolio and Tybalt.
