ROMEO AND JULIET

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE :

Question 1. 
The classical play takes place in the 16th century in Verona, Italy . The new version takes place in the 21st century in Verona Beach, USA.

Question 2..
All of these things are opposites, like Romeo and Juliet. 
I think that the water represents the love, because of the scene that they are at the party the first time they met. The fire represents the hate between their families, like in the first scene where there is a fight between the Montagues and the Capulets.


Question 3.
In the book all the characters speak in verse because the book was wrote in the 16th century. But in the movie most of the characters speak in prose except Romeo and Juliet when they quote Shakespearse's words.
In the book the narrator is an omniscient narrator because it isn't any of the story's characters but in the movie the  narrator is the news reporter.
Question 4. 
I think that the costumes reflects how everyone is. Juliet is an angel because she's sweet, innocent and kind. Romeo is dressed like a knight because he's brave, gentle and protective.

Question 5. 
Many things have changed because the movie has more actual things like guns, the style of clothes and music, the furniture, the houses...And also the technological stuff like the television or the radio.

Question 6. 
I think that the most important difference it's the period time. Because in the book they were always talking in verse, wearing classical dresses, fighting with swords... And in the movie they were in the actual time, fighting in the street...
