Comparsion Of The Differences Between Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Have you ever read a book and then watched the movie that was a lot different from the book?

Well Romeo and Juliet 1989, movie was different from the book because it was modern day Romeo and Juliet. The movie was about Capulets and Montagues as gangs. But both the book and movie have much in common because Romeo falls in love with Juliet, Mercutio and Tybalt both die, Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves, and Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet in secret. Yet there are a few differences between the book and the movie. Like in the book, the fight scene between Mercutio and Tybalt was very short and was over really fast. But the movie showed the fight scene much longer and more dramatic. There were a lot of differences from the book some

When the directors were working on the film they thought it would be good to have most of the same lines and characters. In this case Romeo was in love with Rosaline, but then Romeo saw Juliet at the Capulet’s party and fell in love with her just by looking at her. At this point we are at the fight scene where we all know that Mercutio and Tybalt fight and both of them die. Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo because he saw a Montague at a Capulet’s party. The movie makes it so that they all die the same way just with a gunshot. Friar Lawrence had a good idea for Juliet to drink a fake poison that made her appear dead. Romeo finds out Juliet is “dead” and he kills himself with poison. The only thing is, in the movie they do not show were Romeo got the poison. Now we all know that Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet in secret and the only other person that knew was the nurse and she never said a thing, but Friar Lawrence had to tell the whole

While watching the movie you can see a person pick up something, but the book has to be detailed or the character will all of a sudden have a sword that was on the ground. Unless the book says, “he said it sadly” or “throw the rock angrily” you would not know what the character is feeling. But in the movie you can see their face and see what they are feeling. Sometime we make up what the characters and the setting look like, then when you watch the movie, it is totally different because that is how the directors imagined the setting different from what you imagined. First of all when you’re reading the fight scene, it goes from fighting to someone die in a blink of an eye because it is made to be a scripted and acted but as much to be read. Second of all in the book Romeo and Paris fight and Romeo kills Paris and the movie was different because Paris was not even at the crypt so Romeo did not fight him. At the very end of the movie Romeo hears that Juliet is dead and goes after her, but Friar Lawrence is not even there to wake up
