Shakespeare explored this theme by using Elizabethan English to make Romeo and Juliet’s love overly dramatic. He used iambic pentameter for the audience to see how young love inevitably results into catastrophe by writing, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their lives.” Lurhman was also critical of young love and believed that it was very dangerous. He expressed his view on young love being dangerous by also making the movie overly dramatic. The scene in the gas station clearly shows that the movie is going to be dramatic. To show that he believes that young love inevitably results into tragedy, Juliet and Romeo die.

- HOW DOES WILLY RUSSEL PRESENT THE THEME OF DANCING IN BLOOD BROTHERS - The theme of dancing plays a big part the play blood brothers. The image of dancing has many different connotations and this is demonstrated in the numerous times it comes up throughout the story. From the beginning we hear Mrs Johnstone singing the song Marilyn Monroe as she describes how her husband used to take her out, ‘and we’d go dancing’. Dancing is seen as a symbol of being beautiful and carefree. People dance at weddings, and parties and times of happiness.
Characters are also created throughout the chapter. The frivolous nature of the community is suggested by Austen in chapter 3. For instance, Sir William is said to have thought Mr Bingley to be ‘young, wonderfully handsome ... and meant to be at the next assembly with a large party’. Lady Lucas recounts this to some of the more eager Bennet daughters; and then the narrator comments that ‘to be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love’. On stating that dancing is a ‘certain step to falling in love’, the narrator can clearly be seen to satirize, and take on the persona of characters who would anticipate ‘the next assembly’ – namely Sir William, Lady Lucas, Mrs Bennett, Lydia and Catherine.
Hamlet makes sure his uncle is guilty of murder before enacting his revenge. Hamlet is not insane because; He tells people that he will pretend to be, He makes a lot of sense even when he is supposedly crazy, and He acts insane at highly convenient times. Hamlet tells his friends that he will pretend to be crazy. He says to Horatio and Marcellus: Here as before, never, so help you mercy, How strange or odd soe’er I bear myself, As I perchance shall think meet To put an antic disposition on, (I, V, 171-173). In this quote Hamlet tells them that no matter how strange he is acting, they should not be alarmed because he is going to feign insanity.
It is also held for Capulet (Juliet’s father) to prove his rank by showing the generosity he has by having the party. The beginning of scene 5 starts by the entrance of the servants. The reason why Shakespeare chose to start with them was to show the audience, the scene shift from the previous scene and to get their attention. The fuss and the way the servants act with haste, shows the audience that the scene is a party. One of the features that stand out the most is the fact that they speak in prose, because the previous scene was only in verse […] Good thou, save me a piece of marchpane, and as thou loves me, let the porter let in Susan Grindstone and Nell.
Act 1 Scene 5 – Romeo and Juliet How does Shakespeare make Act 1 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet so exciting? Act 1 Scene 5 is one of the most important parts of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because this is the scene when Romeo and Juliet first meet and it is love at first sight. Shakespeare has made this an enjoyable scene because he has used lots of emotions to make it more exciting and dramatic. Shakespeare makes the start of Act1 Scene 5 quite exciting because the serving men are preparing for some sort of party; this makes the atmosphere from the stage go into the audience because everyone is ready for what is going to happen next. Shakespeare also makes people know how rich Capulate is by the serving man saying “save me a piece of marchpane” marchpane was very expensive.
The audience emotions would be changing constantly because everyone who enters the scene has something important to say that could potentially change the course of the play. When Lady Capulet says, "Marry, my child, early next Thursday" we get sense of falling action, as everything worsens and the audience feels like the situation can't get any better. The course of change throughout this scene mirrors the action throughout the play. At the start of the scene everything is great and the couple are with each other, alone and happy to be together. This mirrors the scene in which Romeo and Juliet first catch each others eye, and fall in love instantly.
Prodigious birth of love it is to me That I must love a loathèd enemy. Romeo And Juliet Act 1, scene 5, 134–141 At her father's masked ball, Juliet falls in a big way for the disguised Romeo, a Montague and thus an enemy of her family [see A PAIR OF STAR-CROSSED LOVERS and DANCING DAYS]. Even though she has nothing personal against the Montagues, Romeo in particular, she can't escape being a Capulet, or escape her family's "hate." Today "prodigy" usually refers to a precocious youngster. But the word had much different connotations in Shakespeare's time: a "prodigy" was someone or something abnormal, a monstrosity.
By saying these words to her he is crassly calling her a harlot, and making to appear that he never really loved her. Ophelia made one decision and that was to love Hamlet, and now he is using her actions to make her feel inferior and sinful. Up to this point in the play, Shakespeare depicted Hamlet as a mad man hell-bent on avenging his fathers suspect death, however: his cruel outburst at Ophelia is not a turning point in the story in which he goes from being a hero to being a cold-hearted oppressor. Hamlet tells Ophelia that she will have to ‘marry a fool’ because ‘wise men’ would know better than to marry her; he yells at her ‘get thee to a nunnery’, and yet the way it fits into the plot makes it seem almost expected. As the plot progresses Ophelia begins to lose her mind, resulting in her eventually suicide, but at no point his Hamlet called out for his harsh words against her in a significant way.
