For this project, I chose to represent Juliet. I used a variety of components to express what I think Juliet’s mask would have looked like at her father’s party. My overall perspective of Juliet is a beautiful young girl who has an awful attitude and was raised with getting whatever she wants. On my mask, I incorporated three different colours to represent crucial details about Juliet. The white background on the mask serves as Juliet being a bride in a white dress. In Act 2 Scene 5 the narrator tells us that “Romeo and Juliet are secretly married in Friar Lawrence’s chapel.” The only person who knows about Romeo and Juliet’s wedding is the Nurse. The blue feathers at the top of the mask represent Juliet being the boss of the Nurse, but still having manners.
Paris was at the chapel to tell Friar Lawrence that he and Juliet were getting married on Thursday. Juliet tells Paris “I need to confess your ill-smelling breath! Why don’t you find yourself a breath mint?” I used glitter on the outside of the mask to represent Juliet being a beautiful young girl. In Act 1 Scene 3 the Nurse tells Juliet “You were the prettiest baby I ever nursed. Now you are already 13.” Also, Romeo spots Juliet for the first time at her father’s party and his first words about her are “Yo, she’s bangin’!” I wrapped pearls around the stick to give others the feeling that she has her daddy wrapped around her finger doing everything for her. Juliet is a spoiled brat who can’t do anything for herself and everyone else works hard to make her happy. In Act 3 Scene 5 Capulet is shouting at Lady Capulet because he is mad at Juliet for not wanting to marry Paris. He says “I have worked hard to provide Juliet with everything she needs to be happy. But, the only response I get from her is thanks, but no thanks.” The big heart eyes serve as Juliet having an enormous amount of affection for
At the foot of Juliet’s crimson dress lie a bible and a ring. The ring is placed to represent her loyalty to Romeo from the moment of introduction until the moment of depart. In her refusal to marry young Paris, the reader can surely see her devotion. “Not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, But thankful even for hate that is meant love” (3.5.146-148). The bible is placed to represent Juliet’s faith that all will work out as it is meant to be, as well as a religious faith. However, her extreme faith against all odds also emphasizes how naïve she is to the world around her. Such traits make her seem like a child, blissfully ignorant to the world around her.
party is a masked ball and so they dress up. This party is for Juliet
the question if she loves Paris, Juliet Replied, “I'll look to like if looking liking move: But no more
In Juliet’s first scene she is talking to her Mother and the Nurse. Her Mother brought up the topic of marriage and Lord Paris. This is when we first see a young girl who has just begun to grow up. She replies with the fact that she hasn’t considered marriage yet. Most girls of her age would have been wives by now, so it was slightly uncommon that she hadn’t even thought of her marriage. Also in this scene we see in her willingness and obedience, when she does not object to her Mother’s thoughts of her marring Lord Paris soon. When her Mother asks her if she could love Paris she replies, “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move. But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.” (I, iv, 102-105) I interpreted her to mean she will try to love him, but she will not look deeper than her mother wishes. She reminds me of a mouse in a way, meek and a pushover. This scene is right before the ball.
Romeo changes throughout the book. When Romeo went to the Capulets party, he was in love with Rosaline. He saw Juliet and immediately loved her. In act two scene two it Romeo says this about Juliet, "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return." He compares her eyes to stars in the night sky. Romeo talks about Juliet and is wanting to talk to her. This shows how Romeo is loving and sweet. In the last act of the book Romeo sees Juliet dead in the tomb. She is not really dead, but he doesn't know that. He kills himself so he can be with her in heaven. Romeo is a very loving person, but in one scene he turns into a very hateful person.
Juliet act very serious. The reader can tell this by the way the two speak.
When Juliet found out she was being forced to marry Paris, Juliet believed Nurse would be on her side about not marrying Paris but she was wrong. Because the Nurse knew that there was no other option, she advised, “I think it best you marry the County./ O, he’s a lovely gentleman!/ Romeo’s a dishclout to him. An eagle, madam, (3.5.219-221)” Nurse was trying to tell Juliet that Romeo isn’t here Paris is and he is way better looking than Romeo. Juliet felt betrayed and hurt for what the nurse said and yelled “Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend (3.5.237)!”
Juliet; born and raised through care and sophistication. In the play, Romeo And Juliet, Juliet is portrayed as a loving and an elegant blooming girl, the colours red and black will be used to represent these characteristics. To start off, elegance which here is represented by the colour raven black. The word elegance is very similar to being graceful and Juliet displays many attributes of this. "Like a rich jewel
It is Act I Scene V in the play and Shakespeare starts it with the servant’s talking and welcoming the guests. This part is completely cut out in the adaptation, it is substituted with dances and Mercutio singing. The substitution wasn’t a loss, in fact it brought more action to the film and introduced character’s costumes. This part is also shown from Romeo’s point of view. The characters is one thing that really gives the director a credit. He made them all really interesting. On the costume feast the costumes symbolically represent the inner worlds of the characters. Lord and Lady Capulet thinking of themselves as the supreme dressed up as Caesar and Cleopatra respectively, Benvolio and his friends are shown as barbarians, not seeing anything around himself Paris wearing a space suit and Tybalt is shown as a devil. Romeo dressed as a knight in shining armor, whom each girl waits for. Leonardo Di Caprio played Romeo as no other actor could, he fully represented the image of Shakespeare’s Romeo. Juliet dresses as light angel as she is. Juliet played by Claire Danes and she is symbol of love. Sweet, young Juliet is not a perfect beauty, she is the girl-next-door. Shakespeare’s Juliet is young and not looking for love, and Lhurmann’s Juliet is romantic, dreamy, innocent, not capable of hypocrisy and betrayal. Mercutio dressed up as a diva from cabaret. The director was able to make this character really interesting. Drugs and indifference help him to hide from the outside world very well. The way he dressed up for the party is another symbol of modernism. High heels, make-up, diva’s wig help make him a great example of a showman of the twentieth century. And the thing that he dressed as a woman not just shows how much fun Mercutio is, but also that he hasn’t come to terms with his sexuality
Juliet`s beauty instantaneously mesmerizes Romeo, which ultimately diminishes his previous affection for Rosaline. In this scene, impulsive behavior and decision- making are greatly portrayed. During Romeo and Juliet`s first encounter, he asks for a kiss “[my] lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready to stand, / To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” (I.v.95-96). On his initial reaction to seeing her, Romeo boldly approaches Juliet with the sudden desire to kiss her. Romeo`s coaxing portrays his persistent personality and the strong emotion he feels towards her to which is far beyond his control. Consequently, the overpowering feeling that has taken over Romeo, which causes him to ask for a kiss from someone he met moments ago. Ultimately, Romeo`s decision to ask for a kiss
Juliet’s weakness to be controlled by love leads her to make unadvised and irresponsible decisions that contribute to her choice of ending her life. Characterized as a young and rash teenager, with no interest in love and marriage at first, Juliet wants to be independent. However, after she first lays eyes on Romeo, Juliet’s perception of love is quick to change. Their strong love easily manipulates and clouds her judgment. Even if she is cautious and realizes their love is too fast, the rush of feelings from having a first love overcomes her. Her soft-spoken words symbolically foreshadow the journey of Romeo and Juliet’s love. “Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract tonight. / It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;…/ This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, / May prove to be a beauteous flower when next we meet” (2.2. 117-123). The blooming flower is indicative of their growing love, especially Juliet. Being her first experience of true love, her actions become more rash the deeper she falls in, even ...
Later in the play, Juliet describes her hatred of marrying Paris through a dramatic motif that reads: “Or shut me nightly in a charnel house, / O’ercover’d quite with dead men’s rattling bones,” (IV.i.82-83), and “Or bid me go into a new grave / And hide me with a dead man in his shroud-” (IV.i.85-86). In this motif, she tells of extreme situations revolving around the idea of death that she would rather encounter than marry Paris. The speech begins with, “O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,” (IV.i.78) and ends with, “And I will do it without fear or doubt, / To live an unstain’d wife of my sweet love. “ (IV.i.98-99).
Scene 3 Act 1:Lady Capulet talks to Juliet about marriage then tells her about Paris’ proposal. When lady Capulet tells Juliet that Paris will be at the feast, Juliet doesn’t act too excited. Nurse responds for Juliet with something that Lady Capulet wanted to hear.
Juliet attracts the attention of Count Paris, and her father (Lord Capulet) wisely says that Juliet "is yet a stranger in the world" (Act I.2.8) and should be allowed "two more summers" (Act I.2.10) to grow until she is ready for marriage. This implies that Juliet is young and has not yet matured to the level where she is eligible to be married. Lord Capulet's love for his daughter leads him to protect her from the prospective marriage until she is "ripe to be a bride" (Act I.2.11). The audience's first impression of Juliet, however, is through her interaction with her mother (Lady Capulet) and the Nurse. From the Nurse's remarks, the audience learns that Juliet is thirteen and "Come Lammas-eve at night shall [Juliet turn] fourteen" (Act I.3.18-9).
Producers all over the world have tried to create Romeo and Juliet using many different methods. Modernizing this will give the audiences a better way of learning what Shakespeare wanted to express in his piece. For this process, we will be focusing on the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. It will be a film production, which highlights the character Juliet at a high school dance. At this school there are distinct popularity groups that say they are not allowed to socialize with people outside their group. Juliet is a geek and Romeo is a popular.Being at a dance the kids are all dressed up making it hard to tell who's who. Juliet goes to the dance looking for Paris the boy her mother said she should look for, but she ends
