...saying “Arrived in Leeds O2 to hear 2,700 people sing ‘Latch’ at the top of their voices. Go Disclosure!..” so as you can imagine, it was an intense start to the night! Arguably one of the most anticipated songs of the night was Feel The Love – Rudimental. The combination of the strobe lights, the saxophonist and the amazing voice of John Newman was enough to send shivers down your spine and led to 2700 people screaming the lyrics at the top of their lungs – I’m still singing it in my head 3 days later! Shortly after Rudimental had made my hairs stand on end, the moment we’d been waiting for had finally arrived – Annie Mac. She stood behind the somewhat makeshift DJ booth (it resembled a table covered in tin foil – in fact, I think it was a table covered in tin foil) and mixed all that was good from 2012 with old school classics and anything with a beat the crowd could bounce to. Annie’s music and sheer talent speaks for itself, but my only criticism is her lack of flare. Perhaps she is deep in concentration and lost in the music, but the...

...Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has many characters, some good some bad. Throughout the duration of the play you gain the sense that the Capulet family (Juliet’s family) are the antagonists as Tybalt seems to always be trying to fight and Lady Capulet seems very hate filled toward the Montagues by saying all are welcome unless from the house of Montague. The characters that will be contrasted will be the hate filled Tybalt and the peaceful Benvolio, Romeo and Paris and Nurse and Lady Capulet. The peaceful Benvolio acts as a foil to the fiery, aggressive Tybalt. Tybalt is quick to anger and often instigates fights, whereas Benvolio tries to “keep the peace”. As the play opens and the servants of both houses are arguing, Benvolio tries to stop...

...Romeo The son of Lord Montague is Romeo. The Montague family is in a feud with the Capulet family. There are two ladies that get Romeo’s love attention and stir up his thoughts immensely. Throughout the story Romeo has figurative language. Romeo also makes unjust decisions, which causes a fatal accident. Through this in-depth study, Romeo’s actions, thoughts, and speech will show him to be an irrational character. There are various actions throughout this book portrayed by Romeo. In the beginning of the book Romeo is love-sick, and depressed (1.1.156-180). This is because he wants to be with Rosaline. Romeo then goes to the Capulet party and becomes deeply in love with Juliet. Romeo eventually becomes infatuated with Juliet and can’t live without her. He kills Tybalt because his mind is up in the clouds after marriage and he can’t think straight. He keeps it a secret that he is married hoping that the marriage would end the feud between the two families. He also makes Juliet rebel against her parents. These choices show how Romeo didn’t think before he acted. Romeo speech is figurative throughout the story. One thing that Romeo says is “sin from my lips… give me my sin again” (1.5.6). He says this because he so infatuated with Juliet that he wants another kiss (1.5.6). Romeo also says, “It is enough I may but call her mine” (2.6.8). He says this because all he cares about is having her for himself, no matter what the cost (2.6.8). These were some of the examples how Romeo speaks...

...Our Modern Version of Romeo and Juliet act3, scene 1 is about a FBI and MI5. The MI5 have come onto FBI territory, they start to have a fight and the Morden day Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo take revenge on Tybalt; after a big fight and this leads to the death of Tybalt and Romeo runs away as he knows that he will get into trouble with the police. The part I was playing was Romeo; I tried to portray this Man that loved his job, but was lost far away in his own imagination. When everything kick off with Tyblat and Mercutio, my character Romeo was on the phone to the love of his life Juliet and wasn’t paying attention to what was going on at the time, which could have been part of the reason his partner was killed. My character might have left reasonable for the death because he wasn’t focused on his job at the time but was making a personal call. Romeo also might have felt that because he wasn’t focused on the death of his partner that he would fight Mercutio to make it seem okay, but instead of making it better he made it worse by killing Tybalt. The government had already told them that the arguments between then had to stop before things got worse, and who ever starts the next argument will be punished. Romeo did not mean to kill Tybalt but he did and he knew that he would have to face the consequences so before he got caught he ran away. I tried to play Romeo as kind of a lost character, who doesn’t really know what’s going on around him because his just lost in his...

...I will be analysing are Romeo, Mercutio, Tybalt and Benvolio. In the following scene, Tybalt is provoked by Mercutio to begin a fight. Romeo tried to avoid this situation by hinting to Tybalt the reason Romeo refuses to fight him. This leads to the death of Mercutio and Tybalt. In previous scenes Shakespeare presents Romeo as a defensive character. ‘’I do protest, I never injure thee’. The word ‘protest’ shows us that Romeo has a point and wants to make it clear without Tybalt misunderstanding him! Romeo uses the word ‘never which instantly tells us that Romeo has never harmed Tybalt in any way. He says this calmly but it only makes Tybalt angrier as it only makes him want to prove that Romeo isn’t an innocent sweet guy. Throughout Act 3 Scene 1, Romeo seems to want to avoid the fight and stop it from occurring. ‘’Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage’’. Romeo tries to make Tybalt understand that Romeo has to love him and Romeo doesn’t fight the ones he loves. The words ‘have to’ suggest to us that if Romeo wasn’t married to Juliet then he wouldn’t ‘have to’ love Tybalt. Therefore, there could have been a chance that Romeo didn’t have any doubt in fighting Tybalt. This reason excuses Romeo from the fight however it doesn’t excuse Mercutio from the fight which could also be the reason to his death. In Act 3 Scene 1, Romeo tends to remain calm throughout the fight in this part of the fight, Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt and Romeo...

...Creative Process Shakespeare I believe the 1968 version of Shakespeare is not accurately portrayed. The scene we saw was the sword fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. Although it was not accurate their was little stage direction which allows creative freedom from the director. His interpretation of the sword fight was more humorous then serious. It was handled very well. Mercutio was the more dominant fighter mocking his opponent. Although he was more dominant both fighters initially did not try to harm each other. Then Tybalt gets the better of him towards the end leading Mercutio to accidentally stabbing him. The play script seems a more serious battle between the two where they are actually fighting for their family is a life threatening way rather then a humorous way. I personally liked the this interpretation as it seems more likely it was an accident. The 1996 play was done in a completely different manner. I believe the director does this direction rather then the traditional way to get a different perspective of a classic by including modern adaptations of the book. For example it was set in america with fast cars and guns, while families were portraying different gangs. It gives a twist of what we see in modern day news and movies. It allows the traditions values of the movie to succeed while the attaining the attention of the youth with modern day action. A difference between the two films are the way Tibalt is killed in the 1968 version and the way he in 1996...

...yet and the reason for that is because a) I’m supposed to get married to Paris and b) Romeo and I are from feuding families that don’t get along at all and if my parents found out, especially my father, they would do anything in their power to separate Romeo and I. My father has already laid his hands on me and I don’t want that happening again! Any words of encouragement?! Secondly, you know my cousin Tybalt? Of course you know him, what the heck am I talking abo0ut. Anyway, he’s … I guess…. Well, he’s dead. When I heard about this I was shocked and scared because it’s my cousin and I love him. Moreover, there is more tragic news; it was Romeo that killed Tybalt! Romeo told me the full story of what happened. Basically, Tybalt killed Mercutio first and Romeo wanted revenge therefore killed Tybalt. I don’t believe what Romeo did was right nonetheless I still do understand him. You may have thought that I have finished but oh no! This is the worst news out of all of them. Romeo has been banished!! He has been staying in hiding ever since. I feel so helpless because I really do want to help him but if I do I’ll get caught and Romeo doesn’t want my help. Right now the skies are becoming grey and I’m feeling so vulnerable and miserable. Could my life get any worse? Oh, wait, yes!...

...Monologue Analysis JULIET Thou know’st the mask of night is on my face, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight. Fain would I dwell on form. Fain, fain deny What I have spoke. But farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say “ay,” And I will take thy word. Yet if thou swear’st Thou mayst prove false. At lovers' perjuries, They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Or if thou think’st I am too quickly won, I’ll frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo. But else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light. But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove more true Than those that have more coying to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheard’st, ere I was 'ware, My true love’s passion. Therefore pardon me, And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered. This monologue by Julie takes place in ACT II SCENE II in Romeo and Juliet. Before this monologue, Juliet is sleeping in her room. Romeo approaches her balcony in the dead of night and coos for her. She comes forth to the balcony, her looking down at Romeo in wonder and Romeo looking up to her like a shining sun, both entangled and enthralled in vicious lust for one another. Juliet speaks from her heart when she speaks, despite the darkness covering...

...In the Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, it can be inferred through the examination of language that Romeo is willing to do anything, such as change his name or personality, for the greater good and preservation of his relationship with Juliet, whereas Juliet is speculative and in some instances unwilling to make the same change. The word choice, or diction, Romeo and Juliet use in their moonlit conversation with each other shows a contrast in their willingness to change for their love. In the second scene of the second act, Romeo professes his willingness to change for his relationship by saying “Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized” (2.2.54). To this Juliet skeptically questions “Art thou not romeo, and a Montague?” (2.2.65). Romeo straightforwardly expresses his flexibility and desire to change as long as their love everlastingly burns. Unfortunately for Romeo, his love, Juliet, is more skeptical about changing and mentions their primary obstacle to loving, their ancestral rivalry. Since Romeo is a Montague and Juliet a Capulet, Juliet is unsure about making this immense change. However, Romeo is far more willing to make this change for their relationship. This displays a primary difference in their respective willingness to change and adapt for their relationship. Additionally, Juliet’s use of figurative language when discussing her meeting with Juliet displays her unwillingness to change immediately for her love for Romeo. Romeo attempts to show his enamoration...

...Romeo and Juliet In the play, Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, two star-crossed lovers take their lives. In the city of Verona, two prideful families break into mutiny. Romeo and Juliet meet through many chances which helps their forbidden love to bloom which sadly end in dead. Fate is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because the Montagues and Capulets hate each other, and a plague strikes Verona when the Friar sends a letter to Romeo. Fate is the cause of these star-crossed lover’s deaths, because the Montague and Capulet households despise each other. The prologue states, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes/A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” (Prologue. 5-6). If fate had not turned the Montagues and the Capulets into foes, then Romeo and Juliet’s love would have been allowed. By the fateful chance that the Montagues and Capulets are adversaries, Romeo and Juliet’s illicit love creates conflict for both houses, which ends up digging the young inamoratos graves.This is why fate is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death, but this is not the only reason to blame fate. Another reason why fate is to blame is because a plague suddenly strikes Verona when the Friar sends a letter to Romeo in Mantua. Friar J explains, “Where the infectious pestilence did reign/Sealed up the door and would not let us forth” (5.2.10-11). If by fateful chance the illness had not been present, then Romeo would have received the Friar’s letter and would have...

...The story I am about to talk about is called Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In the story Romeo and Juliet {{bold or italicize the names of plays}} there were a large amount of people responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Most of them were the Montague family and the Capulet Family. For example in the Montague family there were Lady Montague, Montague, Benvolio and Mercutio. In the Capulet family there were Lady Capulet, Capulet, Tybalt, and Nurse. All of these people played a significant role in the death of Romeo and Juliet. Although Frair Laurence was a friend of Romeo and Juliet I think he is the most to blame for their death because h e was the one that came up with the Idea to give Juliet the poison to put her in a coma for a few days. Also he was the one that sent the letter to Romeo explaining the plan but Romeo never got the message. He also could of went a different way about the situation rather than what he chose to do....
