Reflect about the film and the book

Question 1: SETTING: The first fight in the book take place the street and in the film take place in the petrol station. In the book Mercutio died in the street and in the film Mercutio died in the beach. In the book Tybalt died in the street and in the film he died in a fountain. When Romeo and Juliet talk for the first time in the book they were in balcony and in the film they were in the swimming pool. 

Question 2: IMAGINARY: The water means love, happy moments, intimacy but the rain means that something bad already happened.  The fire means tragedy, fights, problems...

Question 3: LANGUAGE: Romeo talks in verse and the other characters talks in prose. Tybalt has a violent language. The narrator is the Friar.

Question 4: THE FANCY DRESS PARTY: Juliet were an angel dress and it means that she is beautiful, innocence, … Her mother were a Cleopatra dress and it means power and the beauty. Juliet’s father were a Roman emperor dress and it means that he has the power and everybody have to respect him. Tybalt were a devil dress because he was very evil and always want to fight. Romeo were a knight because he was gentleman and a beautiful boy.     

Question 5: ELEMENTS:  In the book fight fight with swords and in the film wit guns i the book the characters rode horses and in the film they drove cars.
