themes and how these themes are deployed in the play. Using some of the literary terminology that you
have learned this week and last, identify one of the following themes and write about its development in
the play. Romeo and Juliet is about: class conflict; a dysfunctional society; patriarchal oppression of
women; generational conflict; the pathology of violence in society; imagination vs. reality; the
destructiveness of love; free will vs. fate.
#2 or #3, your choice

Choose one of the following film adaptations:
Gnomeo & Juliet (2011), Chicken Rice War (2000), Romeo Must Die (2000), Romeo + Juliet (1996), Romeo
and Juliet(1968), Romeo and Juliet (1966), West Side Story (1961), Romeo and Juliet (1954), Romeo and
Juliet (1936).
After carefully reading Romeo and Juliet the play, carefully watch one of the adaptations (you will need
to rent the film from Amazon, Netflix, etc., if it is not on YouTube); it is better of you watch it twice. Then
compose a comparison and contrast of the play and film. In what ways does the film change the
play? Remain faithful to it? Bring it to life? Make it relevant for modern society? Offer a cogent
thematic interpretation (for themes, see 1 above).

and Juliet(1968), Romeo and Juliet (1966), West Side Story (1961), Romeo and Juliet (1954), Romeo and
Juliet (1936).
After carefully reading Romeo and Juliet the play, choose two key scenes from one of the film
adaptations (you will need to rent the films from Amazon, Netflix, etc., if it is not on YouTube). Then
compose an analysis of how each film depicts the play’s scene. In what ways do the films change the
play? Remain faithful to it? Bring it to life? Make it relevant for modern society? Offer a cogent
thematic interpretation (for themes, see 1 above). Compare and contrast how the various scenes
address these questions.
Here are some recommendations for key scenes: The play begins (1.1), Romeo and Juliet meet for the
first time (1.4), Romeo risks death to visit Juliet (2.1), Romeo kills Tybalt (3. 1), Tragic conclusion (5.1).
