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
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 character is a collection of innocence, youth and naïveness. Her portrayal, however, did not fit well with the stereotypical view of how an Elizabethan women should have been. Women back then had to obey their fathers and husbands. They weren’t granted free will and so Juliet initial portrayal is girl who is an obeying daughter but when she discovers love she becomes a disobedient daughter to be faithful to her husband (Romeo).
Next, we begin to summarize Juliet’s secretive personal life through her eyes. Within her eyes are place two hearts: one fully intact and the other broken apart. The symbolism behind the two simple drawings stands for love and loss. Love and loss seem to be a constant theme throughout Shakespeare’s tragic romance. Perhaps due to being written in the Elizabethan era, where death and suffering were enjoyable to audiences. During the play, Juliet falls in love with her husband and loses many such as Mercutio, Tybalt and in the end, even her beloved Romeo. “O serpent heart hid with ...

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).
Juliet act very serious. The reader can tell this by the way the two speak.

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). As Juliet enters the presence of her mother and the Nurse, Shakespeare portrays Juliet as a very faithful daughter. When summoned by the Nurse, Juliet comes promptly then responds politely to her mother “Madam, I am here, what is your will?” (Act I.3.7). When Juliet refers to her mother as ‘madam” (Act I.3.7), the audience also gets the impression of Juliet being compliant to her elder’s wishes. This can be observed when her mothe...
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)!”
In scene 2 act 5, it shows the long waiting of Juliet for her Nurse to deliver her lover’s message. She is anticipating for the news Romeo has to give her, but has to wait torturously for the Nurse. The Nurse is used as form of communication between Romeo and her. However, the Nurse is making excuses and taking her time to relay his message. This shows her Nurse’s doubtful reaction to Romeo’s words. As the setting, the stage is set to portray Juliet in her garden alone to show her boredom upon waiting. Juliet will be looking at the flowers in the garden. She will walk back and forth with big steps. The garden is set to be behind the Capulet’s house and a gate will be at the front where the Nurse will enter. The characters that are involved
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; 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
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.
