To show that he believes that young love inevitably results into tragedy, Juliet and Romeo die. When Romeo goes to see Juliet, after being chased by helicopters, she is surrounded by hundreds of candles. Lurhmann uses this technique to engage the audience and keep true to Shakespeare’s original version of Romeo and Juliet. Lurhmann’s version of Romeo and Juliet was so successful because after hearing the prologue the stereotypical male would like to watch it because it has violence and the stereotypical female would is engaged because she knows there will be romance in the film when she hears, “A pair of star-crossed
All the explosions from the fireworks make him remember the explosions from the bombs and shells from the War. In the beginning of the poem the author shows us the anticipation of the children and Uncle John before the fireworks are set off. The fireworks would have been set off in size order, the little ones first then they would have set off the bangers. After the little ones were set off, Uncle John wouldn’t be enjoying it so much now because, the big huge bangers were going off and reminding him off his past in World War 2. The first sentence in the poem describes the cardboard boxes as ’cardboard buds’ and the fireworks as buds then they begin to flower.
Later in the play, Friar Lawrence says to Romeo, “Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask, Is set afire by thine own ignorance, And thou dismembered with thine own defence” (3.3.132). Friar Lawrence compares Romeo’s unpredictable emotions and passion to the fiery spark of a gun. Romeo’s impulsive actions throughout the play prove this true. The reckless decisions of Romeo and Juliet, derived from passion, causes the death of the two young teens. Fire imagery shows how passion and anger lead to death and other impulsive
Additionally, Romeo effectively verbalizes “So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows” means Shakespeare wants the audience to know how beautiful Juliet is by using a metaphor. To Romeo, Juliet stands out of any crowd, no matter how big the size of that crowd. Another contrast is between Romeo’s love language and Capulet’s teasing and light- hearted attitude towards love. Evidently, Tybalt is showing his anger through this speech and is still wrathful following the fight in act 1: scene1 and Capulet’s casual answer only made Tybalt even more frustrated. A further contrast was between Romeo’s romantic attitude that night and Tybalt’s hateful language contrast beautifully and make the two languages seem even more
She calls him a bastard because he walked out on her however Duffy uses beloved sweetheart to symbolise her unconditional love for him. Havisham exhibits violent imagery with powerful words, strangle, stabbed and death which all associate her bitterness with her wanting her ex fiancé dead. `Not a day since then I haven’t wished him dead`, proves that Havisham still remembers her wedding day very vividly and feels humiliated having been jilted so is trying to get revenge. Havisham is feeling emotionally detached from life and because of that, envisaging her ex fiancé dead or hurt. The poem infuses images of death to show the extent of her bitterness, along with enjambment.
The director carefully uses music to describe the atmosphere of the character of Lady Ashley and her surroundings (destruction of Darwin – be explicit) Baz Lurhman wants the audience to feel the same emotions as Lady Ashley by effectively using a close up shot of Lady Ashley’s face to show the surprise and despair as she examines the exploded transport ship and black smoke covering the sky or when she suddenly hears “Some Where over the Rainbow” this song is presented to the viewer as Nullahs theme song (Magic song) as it is first introduced to the audience and Nullah by Lady Ashley as she sings it to Nullah after the death of his mother, Daisy. The song is repeated throughout the film in many scenes such as the drove to Darwin but specifically when Drover brings home the children and Nullah from Mission Island. This song represents that they will go home as it is shown by Dorothy in the ‘Wizard of Oz” when she wants to go home, also when this song is sung by the children on

As a writer, journalist yet typical smoker, Ms. King condemned those people who hated smokers in American society in her essay “I’d Rather Smoke than Kiss” published in National Review in 1990. Ms. King drew readers’ attention to smoking issues by four parts as follows. First, She introduced herself a little bit about smoking, like when her mother started to smoke, how her “smoke-filled” (142) babyhood looked like, why she started to try a cigarette, how she enjoyed smoking with her lover. However, her enjoyment was fought against by the invention of the term of “passive smoking” (143) by some smoke haters. Second, Ms. King illustrated how smokers in America had nearly nowhere to go.

Medusa is told in the first person as a dramatic monologue by a woman who is insecure and worried that her husband is cheating on her. The poem begins: ‘A suspicion, a doubt, a jealousy’ and it is this jealousy which has turned the woman into a gorgon and now everything she looks at turns to stone. This feeling of doubt resonates throughout the poem, exemplified in the line, ‘but I know you’ll go, betray me, stray from home’. Unlike our feelings towards the traditional monstrous character, this poem evokes empathy for the character as she is clearly distressed and suffering. Especially when she reminisces in the final stanza about the time she was young and beautiful, illustrating her complete lack of confidence.
