I very much enjoyed what has been occurring in Acts I and II of Romeo and Juliet. These two acts really emphasize what will happen in the rest of the story.

In my perspective, the men bestow their standpoints profoundly and they are the initiators of numerous quarrels, which impacts the plot by amplifying suspense. To begin, Romeo commences conflict overall, by having the audacity to love the daughter of his sole enemy. "My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, Because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word"(1024).

Comparing Zeffirelli and Luhrmann's adaptations of Romeo and Juliet, the major theme they both present is hatred and violence in the play. Both Zeffirelli and Luhrmann used different ways to emphasize this theme. However, Luhrmann's use of modern imagery and music enhances the impact of the theme, while Zeffirelli went with a more traditional approach to it. For example, in Luhrmann's adaptation, he sets the scene of the Capulet party in a modern nightclub, complete with flashing lights, loud music, and a pineapple-shaped disco ball. This choice of setting and imagery creates a sense of chaos and excess, which mirrors the reckless behavior and impulsiveness of the young characters.
