Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet was better represented by Baz Luhrmann because of the symbolism. For example, in the scene where Romeo first sees Juliet , she is dressed as an angel. She is described as perfect “ a snowy dove trooping with crows…”(1:5:55) saying everyone else compared to her is ugly. She is seen as beautiful as well “she doth teach the torches to burn bright!”(1:5:51) saying that she is so beautiful her beauty outshines a torch. Similarly, Tybalt is portrayed as a devil.

Romeo and Juliet Act III In Act III of “Romeo and Juliet” a lot of key points lead up to Act IV. The pictures I've chosen to display on my poster are some of the symbols that represent Act III in the best form.

This picture is important because this fight leads to Tybalt and Mercutio's death, and later Romeo's banishment. Blood, blood can represent a lot of things, but in the context of Romeo and Juliet, the blood is a symbol of the blood shed during the fight, and the death.

“Anger doesn 't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can make everything worse.” As you might be able to tell, the quote could very easily apply to Tybalt, the fierce and fiery character of The Tragic Story of Romeo and Juliet. In this play, Tybalt is responsible for his own death. Some examples supporting that statement, is that he was the one who had challenged the Montague Romeo in a duel, he had been told by the prince that if they fought again in the streets of Verona, Italy then they would be killed, he also killed Mercutio, Romeo 's best friend in a duel that was meant to kill Romeo.

It is my opinion that Romeo's punishment was just right as two people died as a result of the fight. At the beginning of the story, the Prince had warned them not to fight anymore. As stated in this quote, "If ever you disturb our streets again, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.". Even though Romeo did not instigate the duel with Tybalt it was still a violation of the Prince's warning. Romeo should have stayed away and not come back as he was very angry about the death of his friend.

Thy drug is quick. Thus with a kiss, I die and when Juliet wakes up from the potion and finds Romeo dead, she says her last words before she joins him to ‘’This is sheath; there, rust, and let me die. It is evident from this scene that hate is shown to be stronger than love because hate is the reason Romeo and Juliet died. The hate that their families had agencies each other was the cause of their death. If hate wasn’t stronger than love Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have died.

In the passage the tone of the author is hesitation and depression.
