“Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.”
“Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punishèd.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a title, where everybody knows about the meaning of this famous Drama. But what did the author Shakespeare want to say with his work? A question, what I want to answer.
Shakespeare described the love from Juliet and Romeo as a love at the first sight. He wanted to show us what love can do with somebody. He gave some examples what love is. Love is, if you protect each other. But love is also trust and understanding. If you love somebody, you wouldn´t be bad on your partner.
Moreover, you should love with your heart, not with your head. This sentence means that you should like the character of the person. Of course you should like the body too, but the character is the important thing for the love. The character gives us our qualities and humanity. An example: What is the important thing if you will marry your love? You shouldn´t be considerate to your family, if they don´t want the wedding. You should do what the best is for you.
So when can love exist? It can rise of the work and in school for example. But also love can rise through years of friendship. Love can´t exist, if you lie. Because the truth always comes out. A partnership can only work, if you say the truth.
In fact, love is a feeling which accompanies our whole life. It is sometimes easy or difficult but we need this feeling most of all. Whether, in daily routine or in the family-life, love is always with us.
Elena Ebenschweiger
Romeo and Juliet is one of the famoust plays of William Shakespeare.
ReplyDeleteIn the play there are two main character called Romeo and Juliet which of are from two families which hate each other. Romeo is from the Montagues and Juliet from the Capulets.
They each other at first at a masked ball and there when they saw them they know that it is love at the first sight. At this moment they don`t know it that they are from different families. After some days Romeo and Juliet marries at the church of Romeo`s father. When the cousin of Juliet get out that they have married he wants to kill Romeo but he didn`t do it and so Romeo kills Juliet`s cousin. Suddenly the police come and Romeo has to hide himself. Juliet`s parents says that she had to marry Paris from a other family. So she drinks a fluid from Romeo`s father to sleep for 24 hours and so the parents of Juliet thought that Juliet is death. When Romeo come to see Juliet in the church he think that Juliet is real death. So Romeo drinks a poison to die. Shortly before he dies Juliet wake up and see Romeo but there is no chance to save Romeo. After Romeo dies Juliet takes Romeo`s gun and shot herself.
When someone say that it was “love at the first sight”, I don`t believe it. What I mean is, that there is in my opinion, no love at the first sight. Sometimes when you see someone and you think “Yes that is the right person”, but in reality you have to get to known the person before you marry her. So I mean, give you and the other person time and then think about a wedding.
Jan Billek
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteWhenever you hear the term Romeo and Juliet, you know about the meaning of this famous tragedy written by Shakespeare. But what does it mean for the mankind in these days?
When Romeo and Juliet met the first time, they instantly fell in love, so it’s a love at the first sight. That shows us, that not only the external appearence is important. It’s necesaary to trust in your partner and also empathy is an important point to lead a happy love. Protecting each other turns out to be indispensable too, which shows us the scene where Juliet hides Romeo under the water behind her, so he doesn’t attracts attention to the guard.
Love at the first sight only works by having plenty of empathy and loving with your heart. Only loving with your head will sooner or later turn into an unhappy situation. Many people are discontented with their love, because they only loved with their head. Also following your parent‘s advice who to marry is not a good idea, because the haven’t got the right to say: you need to love this person. But that was custom in former times(Heiratspolitik). Most important ist o chose your love by yourself.
If you lie, finding a love is going to be hard for you. Lies destroy love forever. Only the truth counts in an love. Hostility to each other doesn’t work, what is impressively shown in Romeo and Juliet. The Montagues and Capulets are enemies, but these two star-crossed lovers bury their hate. That’s what Shakespeare wants to tell us with his drama.
Finally, love is a feeling which accompanies us our whole life. Whether, in daily routine or in the family-life, love is always with us. Life without love doesn’t make any sence.
Christoph Hasenörl
Romeo & Juliette
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows the famous play called Romeo and Juliette by Shakespeare. In this article I want to deal with some topics that are important in this play.
The biggest topics in the play are definitely love and hate. In Verona there are two households both alike in dignity but in hate. They have two children Romeo & Juliette. He is the son of the house Montague and Juliette is the daughter of Capulet. When they met the first time it happened love at the first sight, but there was a big problem their families are in hate. So their love was star-crossed and it hasn´t taken a good ending.
Another topic I want to deal with is Love at the first sight. Many people doesn´t believe that Love at the first sight can exist, because they don´t believe in love so how should it work. In my opinion this type of love could exist if more people would believe that the world is a beautiful place.
Suicide. A theme that I want to deal with, because its tragedy and has a big meaning in the play. The love of these two young people was so passionate that they can´t live without each other and so both are dead. I want to say that suicide shouldn´t be a way to confront problems.
The last theme I want to prepare is violence. It´s not only about to slap someone it´s also about to terrorize someone. In Romeo & Juliette her father was really angry as she wants to explain him, that she doesn´t want to marry the count. Then he wants to force her without any other words needed. Violence is also not a way to flee from problems. We should all talk about our problems before we take violence.
All themes I was preparing with are often in a close cooperation. In History we make the same problems everyday and we haven´t learned about it. How long will it take that we doesn´t make the same problems would it take an end? In my opinion it will be, because I believe in people and I believe in what we can do if we work together.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a literature that everybody knows about it is. But what did the author, Shakespeare, want to say us with his work? A question, I’ve concerned with to reply it for you.
It is love from Romeo and Juliet was an love at the first sight, how Shakespeare write. He shows us with his story that love can make all with us. Love can make us infinitely happy but it also can make us death. He gave some examples what love is. Love is when you can trust your lover blindly. But love is also when your partner is understanding you. When your partner can’t live without you, like in the movie.
The sentence “Moreover, you should love with your heart, not with your head.” would mean that, when you love someone, it does no matter how he/she looks. And when he/she looks like crap, it does not matter because you love him/her. You love his/her character and that counts. And when you love a person over all, than you want that he/she is happy and not that he/she dance at the whistle at others. A relationship is based on mutuality.
So when can love exist? It can rise of the work and in school for example. But also love can rise through years of friendship. Love can´t exist, if you lie. Because the truth always comes out. A partnership can only work, if you say the truth.
In fact, love is a feeling which accompanies our whole life. It is sometimes easy or difficult but we need this feeling most of all. Whether, in daily routine or in the family-life, love is always with us.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDelete„Romeo and Juliet“ is a famous play by William Shakespeare. The play was written in 1597. In the film the main topic is about love between Romeo and Juliet and hate between their families.
There are two rich families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo is a son of the Montagues and Juliet a daughter of the Capulets. The Montagues and the Capulets families had been enemies for a long time. They don´t know why they are enemies, but they are enemies.
One day Romeo and his friends drove to a party organized by the Capulets. There he sees Juliet. Romeo and Juliet have love at the first sight, but Juliet have to marry another guy. When Romeo´s friends are caught at the party, they drive away with Romeo, but Romeo jump out of the car and ran away. He climb on the balcony of Juliet’s room and confessed his love for her. After some days they marry in secret.
Then Marcushio, a friend from Romeo has been killed by a Capulet. Romeo kills this Capulet and then Romeo ran away. Juliet know that Romeo is alive and so she send him a letter. But Romeo don´t get the letter. Juliet get a fake death. Romeo kills himself with poison, but when he realize that Juliet is not death it is too late. Than Juliet kills herself with a weapon.
In the end a police man shouts “All are punish!” It is not sure if the families become friends or not.
I think in the modern time people commit suicide, because the pressure from their surrounding is too high. It starts in the childhood with the pressure from parents and from school, then in the job when the boss makes pressure do to more. So people commit suicide, because the pressure is too high and they see her last chance in suicide.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteA movie of a tragic love story of two star-crossed Lovers
The story is about Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who fall in love at the first sight. The problem is, that their families hate each other. Romeo and Juliet try everything to be together and stop the hate, but the fate is against them and their love. At the end of the movie the two lovers commit suicide.
It is said that there was never a story of more tragedy that this of Romeo and Juliet. Love and hate are big feelings, which are important in human`s life. Not only closely connected, but also very different. Hate can destroy everything no matter how strong love is. Some people believe that love at the first sight is possible and intensive. But it’s rare that it happens and often such a love breaks. It is important to add that no one can force love, because the lovers should suit each other.
Central to this topic is peer pressure, because it also can destroy love and friendship. It’s very important to say “NO” to your friends, if you don’t want something. Even though it’s difficult for everyone, because we don’t want to lose our friends. Friends must accept “NO”, otherwise they are not real friends.
According to peer pressure, drugs are a big problem of the young generation. To illustrate this point, drugs can trigger an addiction, which is harmful for you and your body. Drugs change how the brain works and you can’t control yourself anymore. It is a fact that drugs give you a feeling of easiness and gladness. In the movie, Romeo takes a poison to die, because he doesn’t want to live without Juliet. Due to this fact, it can be said that drugs help some people to deal with their sadness. But don’t try it out, you throw your life away! Life is important and as a quote says: “Be happy and you make others happy.”
Suicide isn’t a solution for problems, because you are born to be on the world and everybody has their place on the world. People who commit suicide, must be very desperate. Romeo and Juliet commit suicide, because they don’t see any sense to live without another. In my opinion it’s sad to see such young humans, who give up their life. Therefore, we should be more contented with our life.
To summarise, it can be said that this love story includes several topics, often connected with big feelings. I like this film very much and I think everyone, who has the chance, should watch it.

ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a very famous play, originally directed by William Shakespeare. It was one of the first love dramas in history, and for sure one of the best. Written about 400 years ago, newer versions of the drama still get shown in classrooms today. In the following text I will write about the newest movie version.
ReplyDeleteThe storyline of the movie is pretty fascinating. Even though the language (early modern English) is kind of hard to understand, you pretty much understand what it´s all about, because the emotions of the characters are getting through very well. So the story is about Romeo and Juliet who fall in love with each other on the first sight. Now the problem is, that each is a member of a household and these two households, which are alike in dignity, are in war since forever. Romeo is a member of the monteque-family, while she is a member of the capulets. It doesn´t get explained why these two gangs are hostile to each other. The whole affair escalates as Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet, kills Romeo`s best friend Mercutio in a gang fight. Romeo chases him and kills him as well during his uncontrolled rage. As consequence, Romeo gets banned out of Verona for his whole life. Juliet, on the other hand, is forced to marry some rich capulet´s son. She pretends her death to all of her beloved, so she can be with her Romeo forever. But, as we all knew, they both end up dead.
I can recommend this movie to everyone who´s having problems in his life, for certain the kind of problems you have during your teen ages. Is there really something like “love on the first sight”?; What is real passion?; Can love and hate exist at the same time?; Do drugs solve your problems? Do you get under pressure by your family or friends sometimes? Those are some of the questions, this movie can give you an answer to and maybe another view of your situation. Also it increases your horizon by showing you other people´s problems. The exact meaning of the play isn´t clear. Everyone collects information on a different wave length, so there is a huge room for interpretation. Maybe Shakespeare wants to warn us from love. Love is a very strong emotion and is hard to control if you are unexperienced and can be in a close relation to hate. On the other hand it could be a signal to live your life while you can. All in all it belongs to every individual how he or she wants to balance her life.
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteTwo households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, that’s where the famous play written by William Shakespeare took place. There are the Montagues and the Capulets. They both are very rich families who hate each other since many generations, so they didn’t really know why they hate each other, their parents and grandparents just have told them.
Romeo is one son of the Montagues and he loves poetry, but also is a normal family member, so he also has a weapon and drives heavy cars.
Juliet is the daughter of the Montagues.
They first met at a party organised by the Capulets where Romeo fell in love with Juliet on the first sight. First, Romeo didn’t know that Juliet is a Capulet and Juliet also didn’t know that he is a Montague. During the party the realized that their families can’t carry their love, so they married in secret.
The two star-crossed-lovers wanted to tell their families that they married each other a few days later, but then Juliet´s cousin killed one of the Montagues and Romeo was so furious that he killed him. Then, the police officer told Romeo that he must leave Verona. Juliet takes a poison from the priest, because otherwise the plan wouldn’t work. Only Romeo should get a letter, to know that Juliet isn’t dead and just took a poison to sleep like she was dead for 24 hours. But Romeo didn’t get the letter and buys a poison from a drug dealer to commit suicide.
In the end, Romeo lies down to Juliet’s grave and take the poison in the second Juliet wakes up. Juliet is so upset that he just killed himself, that she also commits suicide with Romeos weapon.
The play by Shakespeare is a drama, so it has no happy ending. You can confess about this play when you want to be impressive, so it’s good to know something about it.
Dear students of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein,
ReplyDeleteI´m happy to invite all of you to see the play “Romeo and Juliet” next Wednesday. It´s a story about two families, the Carpulets and the Montagues, who are enemies because of an unknown reason. Romeo loves the Carpulet Juliet, but he is a Montague. Also Juliet falls in love with him at first sight. Their parents are very strict so that they can´t marry. They are very sad at this point. At that moment, Romeo´s father understands their situation and has an idea: Juliet should take a liquid which takes she asleep for exactly 24 hours. All the others would think that she were dead so they would know that they have done a big mistake. Only Romeo should know that it is only a trick because his father would send him a letter about it.
But how you all know, in the famous drama of William Shakespeare there is a very sad ending. You will recognize the terrible twist in the story when you see the film next week!
This story tells us about our lives: Love is always bigger than hate. Romeo and Juliet took their life only because they couldn´t love each other. Their destiny was affected by stars, so they thought in those times. Also in the movie they are talking about “star-crossed lovers”. Today only a few people believe in such superstition (horoscope). I think that is a positive aspect because every person should do the things what they like most.
After seeing the film you will have many questions about the truth of this not really happened story. For example if love at first sight does really exist, there will be different opinions. I don´t want to say mine because everybody should think for himself or herself. Another question could be: Was it the best way for that young couple to commit suicide? When you don´t mind I advance my opinion: On the one hand “yes” because they both died to escape from their bad families and to live a life in heaven together. On the other hand “no” because they would have done even more with their lives if they had fled from their parents (only an example). How do you think?
I wish you a nice Wednesday evening in the Medienraum and say goodbye!
Romeo and Juliet:
ReplyDeleteOne of the famous dramatic love story in our mankind, is Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. The story is about two young people which love each other very intensive.
But what makes this play so interesting for people and is there even a meaning behind the story?
Montague and Capulet, two households that have hated themselves for a long time, so long, that they don´t even know why. And then something happens, Juliet, the daughter of Capulet and Romeo, the son of Montague have love at the first sight. Both know that they shouldn´t be together, so the married secretly. But the story has no good ending, Romeo thought Juliet died and so he commit suicide, Juliet, who only sleep for a day, saw her dead Romeo and also commit suicide.
William Shakespeare shows us with this story, that love is stronger than the death and that love can be wonderful, but also brings its victims.
I don´t believe in love of the first sight, you only can love someone who you know before, that’s one reason why love and hate is very close. Sometimes you hate the person you love and that´s good, because Quarrel brings you closer to this one person.

ReplyDelete“Romeo and Juliet” is a famous story from William Shakespeare. The question is, what does he want to tell us with this story? Maybe once in his life he was in the same situation as Romeo? What was the idea behind this play?
ReplyDeleteSince generations there were conflicts between the Veronese families, the Capulets and the Montague. Romeo was a member of the Montagues and Juliet was from the Capulets. Between the families there were always fights. One day, on a big party from the Capulets, Romeo and Juliet were looking in their eyes and they fell in love. Romeo and Juliet met always very secret. Someday a gang member died because Romeo shot him. After that Romeo fled from the city and lived in great risk.
I think the story from Shakespeare is very mysterious, because it is unknown whether the story is true or not. Maybe William was as youngster in such a situation as Romeo and he later he wrote about his love stories in his youth. He could have been in a similar way of love
Maybe with this story Shakespeare will say us that everyone should fight for love but you should not forget your friends and family. Often between families there are problems and fights. You should first clean the problems between the families before you marriage your dream girl. If you would not do this, you will get big troubles.
In my opinion I think that the play Romeo and Juliet very helpful for young people with love problems but died is not a good idea about for love to fight.
“Two households, both alike in dignity. In fair Verona, where we lay our scene from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.”
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers. It is said that there was never a story of more tragedy that this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Romeo and Juliet are two young people. Their families are the biggest enemies in fair Verona. They are the Montagues and the Capulets. The families don’t know why they are enemies, but they fight with each other and they are also ready to kill each other. Romeo and Juliet love each other at the first sight. Both are ready to die for the other one. They can only meet in secret and nobody may know that they love each other. The film has a tragic ending. Both of them commit suicide, because of a mistake.
Central to this topic is peer pressure. Peer pressure can destroy a person and it can destroy families and friendships. When you don’t want to do something you have to say no to the other persons. An example for peer pressure is in this film. The whole family is fighting against the other family and nobody dares to say no.
An old proverb says us: Violence is not an answer!! And it is right. When we can regulate the things without violence should we do this? On our world is so much violence. An example is the war in Syrian ore the violence in this play.
Now let us talk about drugs. Drugs are big problems on our world. Much people are taking drugs, because they are think that they can´t live without of them. They destroy their bodies and they destroy their lives. Some people are only taking drugs because their friends are taking drugs.
As summarise, it can be said that this love story includes some topics, often connected with big feelings. All topics are related to each other. I like this play and the movie and I can advocate both of them!!
Romeo and Juliet is a famous play written by William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was a great writer, poet and actor. His literary works are world literature.This play was written in the 16th century.
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet plays in Verona. There are two families, the Montagues and the Capulets and they are enemies for a long time. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Carpulet. They meet each other on a party and they fall in love at the first side. But there is a problem- Juliet should marry an other man. So Romeo and Juliet marry in secret, because they are so in love. Some days later Romeo goes in a conflict with Juliets cousin.Her cousin has killed Romeos best friend, and so Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin. He can only stay one night with Juliet, because Romeo is banished from Verona.
After a while he gets a message from his best friend that Juliet is dead. But she is not dead, she is in a sleep for 24 hours. She drinks poison that makes her asleep for this time. Romeo buys himself poison too that will kill himself in a few minutes. He visits the church to sees Juliet and drinks the poison at this time. Juliet awakes and her love Romeo dies in her hands. After that tragedy, Juliet shoots herself in the head and they die together.
I think Shakespeare will say us that love and hate are very close. In reallity more people die by commiting suicide than in a car accident. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Shakespeare is still considered to be the best playwrighter in the world.
Anna-Lena Häusler
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteWhen you think about a love story, you probably think about the most popular love story ever written. Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare and known all over the world. But what is its meaning today?
When Romeo saw Juliet the first time, he instantly fell in love. It was the same when Juliet saw Romeo for the first time. Something like this is called love on the first sight. This should show us that it’s possible to love someone you never met before. But many people only love with their heads so that they only see the outwards of the person. Often people are very nice from the outside but in the inside they are really mad and sneaky. If you like someone should met him very often and have fun together, so that you also know how the person is from the inside and not only from the outside.
If you are out with your friends and have fun, peer pressure happens very often. Peer pressure is for example when your friends smoke and say that you should also try it. If you won’t do it they aren’t your friends anymore. You can also see this at Romeo and Juliet. If you belong to the family Montague, you have to hate the family Capulet. When you don’t do it you are going to get thrown out of your family. In the movie we saw this when Juliet sad that she wouldn’t marry the boy her father told her.
At the end of the story Romeo and Juliet committed suicide, because they were not allowed to live and love together by their families. Many people commit suicide when there is a big problem in their life. Committing suicide happens very often these days but the community don’t talk about it. Suicide is a very big problem and people who have suicide thoughts should use hotlines where people help you.
I think that when you love someone and cannot live with him or her you should not commit suicide. You should talk with him or her.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet falls under the tragic drama gene. For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Everyone knows the play called Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. It`s one of the famous drama play in the world. But what would Shakespeare want to say with this story?
The story is about two households both alike in dignity, the Montague and the Capulet, who hate each other. Romeo is the son of the Montague and Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet. In this drama the most important things are hate and love, who are closed. Hate can destroy everything no matter how strong love is. Some people believe that love at the first sight is possible and intensive. But it’s rare that it happens and often such a love breaks.
One day Romeo and his friends drove to a party organized by the Capulets, there he met Juliet at the first time. The problem is that they fall in love at the first sight, but Juliet have to marry another guy. But Romeo fights for his Juliet. Then Romeo kills one of Juliet`s cousin`s, so Romeo must go away. But the love of Romeo and Juliet was stronger. But in the end there is no happy ending of the movie, the two lovers commit suicide.
But suicide isn’t a solution for problems, because you are born to be on the world and everybody has their place on the world.
Another interesting topic is that many people doesn´t believe that Love at the first sight can exist, because they don´t believe in love so how should they know about this. In my opinion this type of love could exist, because I have done this experience myself. You only should live and love your life!
Christina Hofer
The drama of Romeo and Juliet described the battle of love and hate, in which battle love is victorious. When Romeo first enters, and sees the evidences of the fray between the family’s Capulet and Montague he says: Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love. This remark describes the play.
ReplyDeleteA deadly feud had, for a long time, existed between the Montagues and the Capulets. Law could not control it. Religion could not abate it. A young Montague falls in love with a young Capulet they married. This love is reciprocated. It is a love which is literally into death. When Romeo and Juliet are laid in the grave, the fight which, for so long a time had existed between the family’s is also buried in the same grave. This is the theme of the drama.
But the people said the star’s cross lovers which mean that the destiny was against the love. Today nobody believes on love at first sight or destiny. But my opinion is love at the first sight exist, but only at the beginning. You must know the person to love her/him. The story showed us what a fight can destroy and how strong love can be.
And the worst thing you can do is to discriminate a person for his religion. Because every religion has good and bad things. You must find your right religion. Religion is a very important thing for the life. And no group pressure should accompanies your opinion

Dear Students of the HBLFA Raumberg!
ReplyDeleteOn the next Wednesday the famous play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is going to be played in the Medienraum!! It is a must see if you like poetry and drama.
Here is a short blot outline of the Movie:
There are two households in far Verona the Capulet’s and the Montague’s. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. Both families are very famous and rich but they hate each other. Everyone knows the cruel scenes which are happening between the two families.
One day Romeo, his cousin, his best friend Mercutio and some other friends went to a party of the Capulets. There Romeo and Juliet met the first time and it seemed like it was love on the first sine. But Juliet’s mother hates all Montagues and she want’s Juliet to marry Paris. It didn’t took a long time and Romeo and his people got spotted so they had to get out of here. But Romeo loves Juliet so much that he meets her day bay day after the party. After a few days the want to marry in secret so they ask the bather. After a time he agreed. So Romeo and Juliet married in secret. Both families shouldn’t know what’s going on if they would know this it would cause war, and more and more hate between the two families. So there are 2 star crossed lovers between love and hate.
After a while a fight between Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet and Romeo breaks out. Romeo didn’t want’s to fight him so Mercutio joins the fight and protects his friend Romeo. At least the fight becomes more and more cruel and Tybalt kills Mercutio. Romeo gets more and more aggressive and Kills Tybalt. At least he got thrown out of Verona for ever. But Romeo and Juliet still love each other… You want to know the story goes on? Visit the Medienraum on Wednesday

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteI think everybody of us knows the famous play that was written by William Shakespeare. It is a very old play and that’s why this play is written in old English. And so you will not understand the whole words in the film what the characters say. But if you have the chance to watch the film or the book, do it because it is a brilliant play.
But what does this play tell us about our lives? Why Shakespeare wrote this play? Maybe his neighbor had the name Romeo and he was in love with a girl that had the name Juliet. Or he invented the story. But we don’t know because Shakespeare don’t lives any more. If you ask me, Shakespeare wrote this play because he was in love with a girl.
Next I want to talk about the question what Shakespeare want to say us with his play. I think that he means that we should never give up. Go on if you want something. Of course five hundred years ago that was not so easy like today. But if you are sure that you want to do something, no one should stop you. For example if you see a girl and it was love on the first sight, don’t give up because your parents don’t allowed it. Love at the first sight is something special and that was Rome and Juliet had at a party. Such strong emotions can hurt but they can also make you happy.
Now I want to talk about the most important thing that Shakespeare want to say us with his play. That violence is not the answer for everything. Because in the film both families fight against the other family, and that was the problem for Romeo and Juliet. At the end both died because their families fight and fight. They could also work together and the story would had an happy ending.
In the whole, Romeo and Juliet is a great play and next Wednesday you have the chance to watch this famous play in the medienraum.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a very tragic play by Wiliam Shakespeare also it is one of the most famous love plays in our history. Recapped, there are two persons named Romeo and Juliet. They are coming from two different houses and this houses hate the other one but they don`t know why. Romeo and Juliet are star crossed lovers, because all what they do get in a bad situation. And at the Ending Romeo and his sweetheart commit suicide. It is a very sad and a tragic story, when we have watched the film I was completed to thinking about the topics love and hate and the devastating effects of hate. So I think that this is that what Shakespeare want to tell us with his famous playing.
In the film are lots of important topics as Love at the first sight, peer pressure, drugs or suicide consequently I want explain some of them.
One of this good represent topics in the film is love at the first sight. I think that it is a very difficult topic because sometimes it works really but in the most instances it is going to break, and therefore I think that it is very rare.
Another Important topic in the film is suicide. Especially in nowadyas also in Austria suicide is a very common problem. So in Austria are more suicides as car accidents and I think taht that is very Tragic.
When you notice that somebody be in danger to commit suicide, you have to helped him you have to persuade him. That he/she can find out that the situation is not all that bad as he/she mean. That is very important to give his live a meaning of life.
My final word is:” Wherever it is important that we don`t hate but rather to love.

ReplyDeleteRomeo & Juliet
ReplyDeleteLast week we watched the famous play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare in school. The play is about love and dramatic art. Mainly the film is about love stories, family hate, drugs and suicide. It´s a very exciting film for me and so I would like to write a short article.
First, I would like to outline the most important actions of the film. There are two houses called Montegue and Cabulets which were enemies and they don’t know why. Both families have children, Romeo and Juliet, and after a party, where they met each other, they fell in love. They married without the knowledge of their families. The problem is, that Juliet should marry another man who’s called Paris. Therefor Juliet killed herself and Romeo taint his self and so both were dead.
The first question I would like to answer is:
What does this play tell us about our lives?
If you have family problems or problems at your work, you wouldn’t take drugs or commit suicide. You should talk with your parents, family members and maybe should search for professional help. For example, if you break up with your partner then you shouldn’t be depressive and don’t make bullshit which can destroy your life. In a situation like this you should better go to your family and talk to them.
A topic which is also very important is “Love at the first sight”.
Many people don`t believe in that but I think this is true because if you met a person, who doesn’t go out of your head, it must be true love.
I hope gave you an understanding of this film and maybe we will see us next Wednesday in the “Media Room”.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is one of the most dramatically love story I know. I think the most people know this story. If someone doesn’t know what is about I will a little bit about the play.
The play is about two young people, Romeo and Juliet. The two youths are from different families which are at enmity with each other.
So the families don’t agree that Romeo and Juliet fell in love. This is a very bad situation for the two young people, so they have to decide between their families and their first love.
I think William Shakespeare wrote this story because we can compare this story with the real life and find answers for questions when we have the same problems like in this play/movie.I think I wouldn’t know what I should do when I fell in love with a girl and my family is not agreeing with the origin of this girl.
I think William Shakespeare would tell us that love can be stronger that the hate of two families and that is only important that you love the other person and it is unimportant what other people think to the person you love. But everyone has to decide this by himself.
In my opinion William would say with this play that everything in our life could bring problems.
Everyone has decided by himself if love at the first can be real love, because when you don’t know everything about a person, I think it can’t be real love.
My opinion is the play Romeo and Juliet is a very good but also a very dramatically play because in the end the two young people die and we can get answers of big problems which are available in the real life.
So I hope I gave you short excerpt of this film and maybe we will see on Wednesday in the “Media Room”.
Everyone knows the play called Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare about 400 years ago. It`s one of the famous drama play in the world and today I want to write an short article about it.
ReplyDeleteThe story is about two households, the Montague and the Capulet, who hate each other but they didn´t know why. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet.
One day Romeo and his friends drove to a party organized by the Capulets, there he met Juliet at the first time and they fall in love at the first sight, but Juliet have to marry another guy named Paris. So Romeo and Juliet married without the knowledge of their families. One day Romeo killed Juliet´s cousin and Romeo had to go away because he had been banished.
After some time he gets ah message from his best friend that Juliet is dead. But she wasn´t dead, she only drunk ah poison which make her asleep for 24 hours. Romeo went to the church were Juliet was lying. He take poison because he didn´t want live without Juliet. But in that moment when he take the poison Juliet get awake. Romeo died in her arms and then Juliet shoot her down.
I think William Shakespeare want to say us that love and hate are very close and life could be short, so love your life, be happy and live in peace.
I don´t believe at love at the first sight, maybe some people really do but I think it´s unreality. Because you must know the person so that you can love their positive and negative sights.
Lauren Mayer
„Romeo and Juliet“ is a very famous play, directed by William Shakespeare written about 400 years ago. It was one of the first love dramas and for sure it is one of the best.
ReplyDeleteIt´s a story about Romeo and Juliet who fall in love with each other at the first sight. But the problem is, there two households are alike in dignity. There two families, the Carpulets and the Montagues, are enemies because of an unknown reason. So they can´t marry.
The whole process escalates as Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo gets banned out of Verona for the rest of his life. Juliet is forced to marry some rich son of a Carpulet. Romeo and his Juliet are very sad because they would live forever together.
Romeo´s father understands and has an idea: Juliet should take a liquid which takes she asleep. All the others would think that she were dead only Romeo should know that it is only a trick but he don´t know.
Romeo killed himself with poison, but when he realized that Juliet wasn´t death it was too late. Than Juliet killed herself with a weapon. How you all know, in the famous drama has no happy ending.
William Shakespeare shows us that love is stronger than the death and that love can be wonderful, but also brings its victims.
I think that nothing is more important than love. Love is all you need. But is it really the right way to die for another?
I don´t believe in love of the first sight maybe some people really do but I think it´s unreality. Because you must know the person so that you can love all of him or her, their positive and negative sides. You can love someone who you only know as a stranger before.
I think William Shakespeare want to say us that love and hate are very close and life could be short.

ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteA tragic love story of two star-crossed lovers.
The story is about Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague, who fall in love at the first sight. But there is a big problem. Their families hate each other and so it is very difficult for them to be together because everything is against their love. At the end the two lovers commit suicide and so it is a very bad end.
Love and hate are very important feelings and they can be very close to each other. Hate can destroy everything and love can make everything good. Some people believe in love at the first sight. But it’s very rare and I think you are in a very lucky situation when you have found your love at the first sight.
Peer pressure is also a very important topic, because it also can destroy love. If you don’t want something, you have to say no. It is a very difficult topic because nobody want to lose friends and so many young people have troubles because of peer pressure.
Also a big problem of the young generation are drugs. They can make you addicted and they are very unhealthy for your body. You can’t control yourself anymore and drugs change how the brain works. Drugs can also manipulate your feelings. In the movie, Romeo takes a poison to die, because he doesn’t want to live without Juliet. But that was very stupid because to live is the most important thing in life and so you shouldn’t throw it away.
It’s very tragic that so young people committed suicide, because they had their whole life in front of them and just because they don’t see each other anymore, they thought that their life has no sense. It isn’t a solution for problems, because everybody has their place on the world and everything has a sense. In my opinion it’s very stupid that people kill themselves because life can be over very early. For example when you die in a road accident or at work. For this reason we should live our life more intensive and we must look forward, no matter how bad life is.
The movie was very emotional and it innervates you to think about your life and how thankful we have to be that we may live on this planet.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteThe story is about Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague. They love each other, but there is a big problem. Their families hate each other and so they couldn't be together. However love is stronger and their is no limit to their love. Their families don't accept this and so they poisoned oneself. It's a very tragical end.
Love and hate are very important feelings. With this feelings, you can say if you like one person or not. Love is the greatest thing in life, because without love you can't be happy. Hate isn't very good, because it can destroy all in your life. There are always people you don't like, but don't hate each other.
Peer pressure is also a very tender subject in our company. If you don't want to do something you have to say NO! Not all people have the courage to say this one word in some situation.
Drugs are very bad for your health. They can destroy your body and your whole life. There are many kinds of drugs. In the play, Romeo take a poison, because he couldn't live without her love Juliet. That wasn't very clever, because the life is important and will go on.
Many young people committing suicide, because they think that their life make no sense anymore. But they have their life in front of them. Life will go on although a tragical thing passed your life.
The movie is very tragical and show us that love is stronger than all.

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is one of the famous play in the world. It was written by William Shakespeare in 1957. The main caracter in the play are Rome and Juliet. Romeo belongs to the family of the Montagues and Juliet to the Capulets. The Montagues and the Capulets are two families who are enemies. But they even don’t know why they are enemies. Both got it from generation to generation to generation, …… a long time ago. It is also a play about star-crossed lovers.
Romeo and Juliet fell in love for each other, but they can’t be together like a normally couple. It was love on the first sight, but their love wasn’t strong enough to beat the hate of the families. At the end of the story, there wasn’t any happy end. Romeo and Juliet commit suicide because thex couldn’t love each other.
I think that this play shows to us how strong love is. Today people commit more and more suicide because of different reasons. Peer pressure is today a very gravely topic. Because the young people get more and more spoiled and conceited. Young people get locked out of their friends group because maybe they are not wearing the newest cloths or maybe haven’t as much money as the others. Children with disabilities have today only a reduced chance to get friends or to can be themselves.
Because of drugs gets committing suicide more. Young people often don’t know what they should do with their live any more. Maybe they have problems with money or something else. But there exist more and more especially artificial drugs and they are more and more harmful.
Violence is of course an actual theme too. Even if someone is a burglar, a murderer ore something else….the violence increased in the last years very. But if you think only in Austria you are false. In the whole world increased the violence. For example the IS. Some people don’t want to leave their house because of the big fear. Other have to leave their house because they live in war areas.
I hope the world gets better for the next years!

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteThe play “Romeo and Juliet” was written by William Shakespeare 400 years ago. Besides many other film adaptions there was one in 1996 with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. This is the story this movie:
There were two star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, but the problem was that they came from two different families: the Capulets and the Montagues which were enemies because of an old blood feud. That’s why Romeo and Juliet weren’t allowed to marry.
The whole story escalated as Romeo killed Tybalt, who was a Capulet, to avenge for Mercutio’s death. Romeo got banned out of Verona for the rest of his life. Juliet is forced to marry some rich son of a Capulet. Romeo and his Juliet are very sad because they weren’t allowed to live their lives together forever. The priest, who secretly wed them, had an idea: Juliet should take a liquid which made her fall asleep. All the others would think that she was dead only Romeo should know that it was only a trick so he could run away with her but he didn’t know because he didn’t get the letter Juliet wrote.
Romeo killed himself with poison, but when he realized that Juliet wasn’t dead it was too late. After Romeo died, Juliet killed herself with Romeo’s gun. Like you all know, the famous drama doesn’t have a happy ending.
The message of this movie is that parents shouldn’t tell their children who to marry. One of the possible outcomes is that the children could commit suicide or run away. The probability that their children would be unhappy for the rest of their lives is very high. That’s why I am strictly against arranged or forced marriages. Everyone should be able to decide who to spend their lives with for themselves.
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteOnce there was a gifted poet called William Shakespeare. He get famous because of his most popular play “Romeo and Juliet’’. People said, its one of the most dramatic story.
There are two households, they hate them against, but nobody have a reason. The Capulets ad the Montagues. Two big family who fight and shoot them against every time. But once there met, Romeo and Juliet. But there love life have to be secret, because of their different family. They love against but not for ever. They couldn’t hide their love and so they will have a hard fate. They have to take their live, because of a mistake.
Romeo and Juliet was written in an old time, but the sense of the story is actually. Young people couldn’t live their dreams or with their true love because of the peer pressure. The family is a big part in this topic, because sometimes the father or the mother control the live of the child to much. So those people have to decide for their family and their decisions or they break out of the home and begin a new life. But there are also a lot young people who didn’t resist this hard pressure and commit suicide.
It is not only the peer pressure, there are two deep feelings who work against. Love and hate. They affect our soul and body hard. In the story there was always hate or love, and it was show with deep kisses or deadly weapons. So when you see the story or read the book you get sympathetic and feel the emotions of the people in the story.
All in all the story is dramatic and sad but also one of the best I have ever seen, because in nothing other story you can sympathise so deep as in this story.

Romeo & Juliet
ReplyDeleteIf you heard the name “Romeo and Juliet” you think about a sad love story. It is one of the most famous plays of literary history which was written by William Shakespeare. But why did he write a so mysterious story? Did he himself experience a similar situation?
The first time Romeo and Juliet see each other is at the party and they know it is love at the first sight. But they do not know that they come from two hostile clans. Romeo is a member of the Montague-family and Juliet is the daughter from the boss of the Capulet-family. A few times later they marry secretly and want to go away from their families but their plan ends fatally. Although we do not understand some parts of the film, because of the outdate language, I still liked the film.
William Shakespeare wanted to tell us that love is a wonderful sensation. I think the style that Romeo shows at Juliet, which characterizes him as a gushing lover, was very fashionable at Shakespeare's time. It is important to him to point out that this is not just a childish infatuation that has no future.
Another point he showed us is how far love can go. In his story, it ends very fatally, because the love is so big that they kills themselves for each other. Today the love goes rarely so far because these people search for another partner. Of course, it is very difficult in the first time but everybody has a kid of luck.
There are easy times and difficult times but without the feeling of love, life is pointless. But love accompanies you on different paths during your whole life.
Christian Pausch
Romeo & Juliet
ReplyDeleteThe play “Romeo and Juliet“ was written by the very famous writer William Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote a lot of poetry and plays, but I think Romeo and Juliet is the play which every man and woman knows. Hamlet is also a very famous play, but not so many people know the story. This is different with Romeo and Juliet. Nearly everybody knows the story of this two star-cross’d lovers.
There are two rich families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo is a son of the Montagues and Juliet a daughter of the Capulets. The Montagues and the Capulets families have been enemies for a long time. They don´t know why they are enemies.
One day Romeo drives to a party from the Capulets with his friends. There he sees Juliet. Romeo and Juliet fall in love at the first sight, but Juliet has to marry another guy. When Romeo´s friends are caught at the party, they drive away with Romeo, but Romeo jumpes out of the car and runs away. He climbes on the balcony of Juliet and confessed her his love. After some days they married in secret.
Then Marcushio, a friend from Romeo is killed by a Capulets. Romeo kills this Capulets and then Romeo runs away. Juliet knows that Romeo was alive and so she send him a letter. But Romeo doesn´t get the letter. Juliet gets a fake death. Romeo kills himself with poison, but when he realized that Juliet was not death it was too late. Than Juliet killed herself with a weapon.
I think that love is very imported in our lives but family love is more important than other love. So I don’t like the ending of this love story. Because they love each other so, that they even die for each other. In our lives there is sometimes the same situation. They see no other way beside death.
In my opinion love is very necessary and a life without love is especially not real. But we must open our eyes and find new love. Anytime everybody finds her or his true love.
Stefan Zefferer
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows something about the famous drama Romeo and Juliet. The play it‘s often filmed. I think the most popular movie is with Leonardo Dicaprio. Everybody should hear about the writer of this play: William Shakespeare.
First of all in this play there were two families: the Montagues, Romeos family and the Capulets Juliet’s family. They are enemies. They hate each other. The funny thing is that they don’t really know the reason of this fight because the beginning of this hatred was a long time ago. When The Montagues and the Capulets meet each other they start to fight. The Montagues and the Capulets are very rich. Romeo is in love with Juliet but has to married a guy of another family.
Today committing suicide happens very often among young people because they don't find their big love. Suicide is not the solution because there are always good things in your life. These people who commiting suicide don't see the good things in their lives. But you must think in another way. You must think about the good things and make your own life better. In my opinion the people who commiting suicide need help and they should get help.
Markus Sammt
Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet the only children of the worse enemies fall in love. The resolution ; one of the most violent and heart breaking drama the world ever saw. Shakespeare wrote the story centuries ago but it’s still accurate. But what happened in the story?
In the theatre there are two families, the Montagues and the Capulet’s. Each of them hates the other ones. That’s the reason why they always fight and Verona never is safe. So one day the Price of Verona told the families that when they fight again the responsible one will get banished.
The Montagues only have one daughter called Juliet and also the Capulet’s just have an only child, their son Romeo. Why should it happen in any other way these kids fall in love with each other. But they are star crossed, because right after the wedding Juliet’s cousin Tybalt kills Romeo best friend Mercutio and so Romeo kills Tybalt in return. What means, that Romeo has to leave Verona and Juliet after their wedding night and there is another problem too. Because Juliet should marry the rich and handsome Paris but already married Romeo. After Romeo left, Juliet drunk poison that let her sleep for exactly 24h, to avoid the marriage with Paris the next day. Romeo should get a message about what really happened.
But the problem is the message never reached him. So Romeo also thought that Juliet is dead. The heart wrecked Romeo returned to Verona and found the “dead” Juliet in the tomb. Out of tears and heart break he took deadly Poison just seconds before Juliet wakes. After Juliet woke up she realised that Romeo was almost dead. So she kissed him and killed herself with a dagger. After the dead of their children the families realized that their hate is senseless and live in hurt in peace.
My personal opinion to the story is that you can learn of it, when you look twice. Because you learn a lot about violence, hate and how terrible it all can end. You also can see that those things can be a reason to commit suicide. Also in real life it can be a reason for suicide and mental illnesses. I mean, I don’t think that Romeo and Juliet where happy about their situation so they just end their lives. Because to life in this cruel world without each other is worse than death. Like the Priest said:” Violent delights have violent endings.”

Romeo and Juliet
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet is a very famous play and was written more than 400 years ago. The original story was written by William Shakespeare. Next Wednesday a newer version of this play is shown in the Medienraum.
The new version is about two families, the Montagues and the Carpulets. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Carpulet. All of you know that Romeo and Juliet fell in love at the first sight. The next thing what happens in the film is that Romeo and Juliet meet at a prom. At this night they get to know that the other is a Montague/Carpulet. The problem about this is that these two families are enemies. They don’t know the reason why they hate each other, but it’s a fact. Their parents are very strict so they mustn’t meet each other. Although they mustn’t meet each other, they met each other. After some time they made an angle marriage. The priest of Romeo, who understands their problem at this point, has an idea. In his plan Juliet must take someliquid that she becomes asleep for exactly 24 hours. Their family would think that she was dead, so they would know that they have made a mistake. Romeo is going to know about this plan, because Romeo’s priest will send him a letter. As we all know, this story hasn’t got a good ending. The end could you be seen in the Medienraum next Wednesday.
I hope that I have intrigued you and wish you a nice evening.
