Communication 1 Comment Interpretations of Romeo and juliet (film and the book) project
The differences between the Book and the film is that when you watch the film it is in more detail for an example the weather changes when mecutio dies and sets a curse between the two households Catherine weather goes all cloudy and thunder strikes but on the other hand in the book if you are confused you can read over it and understand the meaning of the quotes.In Romeo and Juliet there is a chain of events that lead to PATHETIC F ALLACY which is the attribution of human emotions or characteristics, it is the treatment of inanimate objects as if they had human feelings.
Since the play was meant to be performed for an audience, they would have had little opportunity to re-read the lines either – but that’s a good point about the value of reading the text.
The device involving the change in the weather is called “Pathetic Fallacy”.
What other interpretations have you noticed?
It will be interesting to see whether you like these interpretations or whether you think they detract from the play.
