Romeo And Juliet Compare And Contrast

The original Romeo and Juliet play, written by William Shakespeare, is set in the 1300's. Scene 2, Act 2 is set in the Capulet's orchard behind Juliet's room and a balcony overlooked the garden. During the scene, Romeo ditches his friends to go visit Juliet, who is strolling on the balcony while she is secretly daydreaming about Romeo. When Juliet realizes Romeo is in her company, they begin to tell each other how much they love the other in a very professional, sophisticated, respectful way. Romeo gradually climbs up to the balcony and kisses her. However, Romeo is then shooed away because Nurse calls for Juliet. He returns moments later, and then he and Juliet decide to meet up the next morning at nine to get married. Juliet goes back inside

He accidentally sneaks up on her and startles her, which makes both of them fall into the pool. They talk to each other and begin making out in the pool until a guard sees them splashing around. Romeo decides he needs to leave before they get caught, then Juliet calls him back and someone calls for her up on a balcony. They depart, but not before they decide to meet the very next day at nine in the morning. This version of Romeo and Juliet does not do the original justice. Although the script is identical to the play, the setting is entirely different. It's set in the 1990's, which is 600 years later than it was supposed to be. Also, the balcony is barely utilized and instead of Romeo carefully climbing up to his love, they loudly splash around in a pool. Because of these flaws, it confuses the viewer by making them see what doesn't actually happen, and since the scripts are identical, it makes the time period seem out of

The scene is set present day and Juliet tells her friend the frog that she met a boy who was Romeo, which causes the frog to start taunting Juliet. Not long later, Romeo comes to visit her, but sets off an alarm that causes Juliet's castle to be lit up with lights and music begins playing, resulting in her father to frustratingly come storming in, which forces Romeo to take shelter underwater. After he exits, Romeo runs off and both of them climb a fence and chat between the pickets. Before they leave, they plan to meet up at 11:45 the next morning. Romeo (with difficulties) gets down, where he then tells his pet mushroom that he has a date tomorrow. This version of Romeo and Juliet is not accurate to what really happened. Instead of being humans, they are garden gnomes who can talk. The script is completely different, but that is used for a comedic effect so little kids (the primary audience) can understand the scene better and not get bored. Also, the Nurse, who in Gnomeo and Juliet is the frog, should not at all know that Juliet is seeing Gnomeo; instead, Nurse should interrupt them, not Juliet's father. They left together and met up at a fence, even though in the play Romeo had to climb up to her. In the end, the couple decided to meet at 11:45 to hang out, even though it was supposed to be at
