Short summary
I have seen the film and read about the story and will write about what I have read.
It starts with Romeo who is unlucky in love with a woman - Rosalind. But he easily forget about Rosalind when he see Juliet Capulet for the first time. This is love from the first second and both of them falls in love with each other when they meets. This could be happy love if the werent for that they was from two different parts in the city Verona. This problem makes many problems also for the people who lived in Verona at this time. They decided to mary and they did it like nobody know it. Romeo's family and Juliet's family was in war with each other, and they hated each other. Romeo and Juliet hopes that they familys could be friends after they has married. Juliet made a plan which goes out on how Juliet could run from her family and be happy with Romeo. Romeo does'nt know about this plan and Juliet drank a drink wich make fall in sleep, and then she look like dead. When Romeo saw her, he thought that she was dead, he drank a drink from the apotecer and died for real. When Juliet woke up and saw Romeo lying there dead , she gets very heartbroken and kissed him when the drink was still on Romeo lips. Juliet gets enough of this drink and they bought where lying there in silence, dead.

William Shakespeare was a man who write stories , people know this man as a writer and a acter. You can also call him for a good actor and a playwright. He was borned 23. April in 1564 in stratford-upon-avon. William Shakespeare lived in the Renaissance.His job was a glove maker , he worked with his father. This was after he has finished school.He become famous because people loved to see his plays and people think that he wrote all the great plays , he wrote 37 plays.The Renaissance
Renaissance means "rebirth" and refers from Greece and Rome.The Renaissance is most about men, how they look and the world around them.British ships sailed to new land , the time marked beginning of the British Empire. A important thing to say about this time is that the age was filled with spirit of human freedom.Men started to decide what they wanted to be. For example like a soldier, a hunter, a scholar or a musican.Religion was also very important in this time. They thought that life on earth was just a preparation of death.One of the characters in the film (Romeo)
Romeo is the one I am going to write about and he is one of the main persons in this movie. A main person is the person who the film is all about, the movie follows you trough the movie, it can also be more than one main person. Romeo is a young man , looking for the love of life. He meets a young woman with name Juliet Capulet. After he have met this woman, he's life changes. He falls in love with this girl and it was love from the first time they saw each other. When he meets this women, he is doing a big mistake, the mistake that he was doing is that he married Juliet when he was very in love with her. That is not a smart thing to do, because when you are young you gets in love very fast and maybe a few months after can this feeling be over. Romeo does not changes a lot in this film, but he changes from the part that you want to find a girl to get a beautiful girl, he also changes from alive to dead what I write about before.An essay about Romeo and Juliet
This film is a little bit strange I think, because you are sitting there with this question "why?" Yes, why did this happend? Why did he do like that? Why didnt he do like that? Nobody knows. Romeo suddenly finds he's love, but was this lucky love with happy ending? No, this was unlucky love, because it was so many things that happend in this story which tells you that this will go wrong. The negat
ive side in this film is that Romeo and Juliet died in the ending and that can make many people get sad and maybe cry a few tears. Another thing is that Romeo had to move out from the city he was living in, and that makes many problems. The last thing I can remember is that Romeo and Juliet's different familys were not friends, they where actually enemys and that make this story very strange. The good side of this story is that Romeo and Juliet falls in love with each other, and that is very romantic, specially the balcon scene, you know what I am talking about because everyone knows about this scene. I like this story a lot, because I am a boy who cares about love and romantic things, and if you also like that I will beg you to see the film or read the story.Themes
It is hard to find a specific theme for this story, but one theme I decided to write about is love. Love is a important theme in this story I think, because it starts with happy love and end with drama. Love is when two people have very nice feeling about each other and that feeling can feel very strange. Everyone falls in love actually at least one time in their life, I have felt in love before and that feeling was very nice.
Another theme is hate, this theme is a strange thing. Why is it like this? Why do we have to hate someone? When you are hating someone, you can not tell something nice about them or think good things about them. When you see a person who you are hating, you feel like you have to heart this person. I dont know if it is like that with everyone, but it is like that for me. In this film Romeo's family hates Juliet's family. Romeo thought that he could work this out after they have married, but that was not any good idea.So the question I am trying to ask you about is, are love a good thing when things like that happend? I dont know, but maybe you know?
