There are different variations of this play and some are really confusing you have to be understanding with Shakespeare.
I think it is important to remember Romeos past and that he felt the same way about Rosalind, and with Juliet. So, if there was not something holding the two back maybe Romeo and Juliet would have ended up the same as Rosalind. The pressure of trying to bring the family together may have been another boost into their relationship, not their actual love. As we read the play we should keep in mind the surrounding situation and all the pressure that are involved instead of just the "love story", because most of it is caused because of the background info.
Instead of death penalty Romeo is banished, which could be worse than a death penalty due to his love for juliet, in the end they both die because of grief.
It's very important remember how the strong the feud between their families, but how strong their love is, to make them want to get married even more. Their strong motivation to love and care for each other is refreshing. It is also very important to realize how awful Romeo's punishment is when he kills a man and is banished to another place. He would've probably wanted it a different, way he would rather die. The worst part is the end when Juliet pretends to die, but Romeo does not get the message that she is not dead and he drinks poison and when Juliet sees, she does the same. In the end, the families decide to stop their feud, and it's important to realize that is was all because of Romeo and Juliet.
The Tybalt is rival enemies with Monique. Romeo and Juliet love each other so they marry them. Then Romeo gets banished from the town because Romeo killed someone out of protection. Then Juliet has to marry someone else but fakes her death. There was supposed to be a messenger that was supposed to send a message to Romeo but doesn't get it so he kills himself and Juliet finds him dead so he kills himself.
The characters in the play are important to consider because they show and tell the story as it moves along. The Family Feuds are important because it shows how the families don't want Romeo and Juliet to be together. The secret marriage of Romeo and Juliet is important because it shows how they want to end the feud and that they love each other.
While viewing the Romeo and Juliet video, I think it will be important to pay attention to the two families and their views on the Romeo and Juliet relationship. It will also be good to remember how they met, what are their values, etc. Problems/solutions in the book/play will also be needed to pay attention to.
I think it's weird that pretty much everyone and their grandma know the basic story of Romeo and Juliet, but many people don't know the many other plot points, like the murder stuff with Mercutio and Tybalt, or the prince and what he does in the story. For example, I never even knew that the Montagues and Capulets end their feud by the end of the story.
I think that it is important to consider how the characters act at the beginning and how they act at the end. I should try to consider all of the different relationships between the different people. Also how people try to stop the argument between the families.
I believe it's important to consider that the Montagues and the Capulets are fighting with each other and that Romeo and Juliet are in love with each other but Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. The marrying of Romeo and Juliet would bring together the family. Juliet's father wants her to get married to Paris and Romeo is banished for killing Tybalt. Also, no one knows that Romeo and Juliet are married except the nurse and the friar. Juliet fakes her death but Romeo thinks it's real so he poisons himself and when Juliet wakes up she stabs herself.
Ella Rakowski There are two families in a feud the Montagues, who has Romeo, and the Capulets, who have Juliet. They go to a party and they both fall in love but they realize they are both in families that don't like each other. There is a lot of motivations of how Romeo and Juliet can marry and who they can love because of their families. Now Romeo and Juliet are having a secret marriage but then Romeo is banished from the town. Then they both die and the two families vow to end their feud. Outside pressures are also mentioned because of the two families and how they hate each other.
After viewing the background video for Romeo and Juliet, I think that it is important to note that Romeo's and Juliet's families are enemies and much of Romeo's and Juliet's actions revolve around their feud. I think that it is important to consider that Romeo and Juliet were seperated due to their family's feuds, but their love still continues. The story is centered around their forbidden love and how it affects their families' thoughts and actions.
I think the characters are important to the plot because it's the basic reason that the two cannot be together. The plot may also be important because it thickens and changes itself due or not due to what he characters decide to do. I think everything within the story is important because in a story where everything is out of wack anything could attribute to anything, like when the messenger was quarantined so Romeo ended up killing himself, it's really the little things that add up.
the 2 families that are feuding with each other. the families are the Montague and Capulets. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet and they fall in love. a man thinks that if they get married it will end the feud between the families. they get married. Without knowledge of the marriage, Tybalt kills Romeo friend so Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo gets banished from the land. Juliet gets an arranged marriage to a dude named Paris. juillet takes sleeping juice to make Paris not marry her and Romeo sees her and thinks she's dead and kills himself then Juliet sees Romeo dead then she kills herself. the end
-Plot of Romeo and Juliet Original: Two families in a fued, One family has Romeo one has Juliet, They where fighting with swords. The prince says they will be put to death if they continue
-He sees Juliet at a ball an falls in love
-She finds out from the nurse that Romeo is on the opposing family to theirs
-Makes plans to get secretly married because the families are enemies so it has to be secret
-They have little time
- Friar believes that them getting married will end the fight between the families
-Tybalt tries to fight Romeo but he doesn't want to fight. Tybalt is related to Juliet
-Tybalt kills one of Romeos friends and Romeo kills Tybalt
-Juliet is to be off to a man Paris, however few people know he is married to Romeo already
-She is to take a potion that will make her look dead and Romeo and Juliet where going to sneak off, Romeo didn't know she isn't actually dead so he drinks poison
-Juliet wakes up to see Romeo dead next to her, she is upset
- The family feud ends
Shakespeare's version: Shakespeare reduces plays action, improved poetry and changed some characters.
-Shakespeare loved poetry so he used more rhymes in the play
Other: -Outside pressures challenge their love
-Juliet has to choose to mary the other guy or not
I think it's important to consider the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets, and how that didn't stop them from wanting to see each other. It shows the determination of the lovers. Motivation is a key factor of this play and it shows the readers a way to live and push themselves to defy odds. Romeo and Juliet portray the lengths someone could go to be happy. Are they continuing seeing each other to prove a point? Prove to their parents that they are happy and that they can be together?
While the story can be hard at times to follow the simple plot is rather easy to follow. So while watching the play it would be important to follow the little details. When different people are to spread different messages it is important to find out if that message is actually delivered all the way. It is also important to understand the complexity of everything that happens and how many obstacles Romeo and Juliet face in trying to be together.
Romeo and his friends sneak into Juliet's family ball but lucky for them it's a masked ball and they fall asleep on first sight. Juliet is was supposed to marry someone named Paris but they end up having a secret affair and want to get married the day after they met and to me, it seems this is very quick for getting married. Romeo's family hates Juliets and a fight breaks out Romeo kills someone and he gets banished then they both kill themselves. I think the story is too quick and could have more events happen.
There are two family and they are fighting with each-other. Juliet Family and Romeos family. The chores comes and goes and comments on the story. Romeo and Juliet meet at a ball and falls in love with each other. They get secretly got married the next day ( Not very Realist). The fryer guy that marriage's them though that this will ended the family feud. When reading the text you need to remember that that the family's are fighting
I believe that the context of what is going on during the play is important because it allows you to understand and know what is going on. If I understand the context of each situation I will be able to relate and discuss with more understanding of what I'm discussing on. For example, knowing Romeo's past helps you understand his situation.
How rushed and different things are from now and how irrational young people can be. The decisions that are made that would never cross our minds of the people nowadays.
After watching the video on Romeo and Juliet, I think the family's and the characters are very important. Romeos family is called the Montague and Juliet family called the Capulets, them hating each other is a very huge part of plot because its the reason why Romeo and Juliet died, its the reason they had to get married in secret, and its the reason that Romeo gets banished. Everything kinda evolves around the fact that Romeo and Juliets families hate each other, its what makes the play a tragedy.

A few things I feel like are very important are the Vocabulary and Lingo Shakespeare uses, because it can you make you understand the acts more. I also think paying attention to stage queues and movements that the characters use will add to the story because it is like the description of what is happening.
I think that it is important that people realize that these two people come from different families that are feuding. The timeline of these two families fighting is also really important because of the way that they get together and do everything they did in just three days.
I think its important to know about the two families and why they don't like each other and that what the family feud is like. I think it's also important to know the background characters as they play a huge part in the play.
