This created a sad and emotional ending because it shows George did not want to kill Lennie but had no choice. In the movie, it was the complete opposite. George showed no emotions before shooting Lennie. George was sitting by the rocks talking to Lennie and out of nowhere, you hear gunfire, finding Lennies body lying there dead. This was the complete opposite of the books ending because George didn’t care as much for killing Lennie as he did in the book.
He counsels Romeo to look at other beauties and forget about anyone who is not interested in him. This shows they have a strong healthy relationship in which they look out for each other’s best interests and purely want the best for one another. Juliet and the Nurse share a very close bond, one that surpasses one of a girl and her servant.
The balcony scene in Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film, Romeo and Juliet, is more successful than the balcony scene in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet, in three main ways: the acting, the script, and the traditional setting. Zeffirelli was very clever with his casting of the innocent Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey. These actors were naturally true to their characters, mainly because of their lack of experience. It's truly believable that they are legitimately in love and feel the pain and suffering that the two lovers went through. Their dialogue is delivered in a way that appears natural, in contrast to the forced efforts of Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1996 version.
The relationships between the main characters of Much Ado about Nothing are much less believable in the movie than in Shakespeare’s original play. When looking at the interactions between Don Pedro and Don John it is clear that something has gone afoul between the two brothers. Don Pedro openly receives his half-brother with forgiveness and understanding after the war they have fought against each other. The film does an excellent job of showing this piece of the play and Don Pedro offers a believable introduction that touches the audience with his genuine mercy. It is communicated well that Don Pedro is a generous and temperate kind of nobleman.
If Friar Laurence did not give Juliet the vial, Romeo would not kill himself because he thinks Juliet is dead. Thus Juliet would not kill herself because Romeo is dead. So, Friar Laurence made some poor choices involving Romeo and Juliet’s relationship inevitably making him partially

Morrie always emphasized the value of family and love, while King Lear saw these as trivial pursuits which at best can be used to elevate his ego. Morrie was disappointed by the way things were in his society, while initially King Lear did not care too much for it and accepted it. Morrie viewed death as completely natural and even an ideal way to live, while King Lear still wanted to live the life of a king despite dividing his land between his daughters. Despite being very different in both character and beliefs initially, both King Lear and Morrie came to acquire true wisdom by experiencing a fact of life which we regard as a phenomena; death. Both these wise men once differed in values when it came to life.
West Side Story vs. Romeo and Juliet Megan Diehl Block: 4 West Side Story was inspired by William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. The two stories have many of the same themes and ideas, but also are different in some of the details. In West Side Story there are two quarrelling groups the Sharks and Jets during the beginning, the hatred between the two groups is portrayed when the two groups start a fight. This is the same idea that is in the beginning of the play Romeo and Juliet. In Romeo and Juliet there are two feuding families, the Capulet’s and the Montague’s the feud is represented when servants from both families start fighting, two identical ideas.
Throughout the play, "Romeo and Juliet" one constant theme is conflict . In the prologue, the term "Ancient grudge", tells the audience that the conflict between capulets and montegues has been going on for generations. I have found that the most interesting conflicts during the story were when Mercutio picked a fight with Tybalt and ended up losing his life and in the very beginning of the play where the servants of the two houses started a fight out of a simple argument. In the servant's brawl, the Capulet servants picked a fight in the streets by "biting their thumbs" at the Montague servants. It then escalates to a full blown battle with even the ladies and lords getting involved .In the end, the Prince intervened and said "If ever you disturb our streets again your lives will pay the forfeit of the peace " (If you fight again you will be killed ) The most serious conflict was definitely the scene where Mercutio picks a fight with Tybalt.
They see that their own hate for one another has ended with the death of the ones they love most, and that they cannot let this continue. This makes us think about real life situations where fighting and war can bring innocent people to their death, although they have done nothing wrong, and only want to live a peaceful live with the ones they love. The strong love between Romeo and Juliet contrasts substantially with the hate that fills Verona. Both love and hate are senseless and mysterious. The involved parties focus solely on that attribute, and therefore consequences are ignored, and thus lives can be lost.
