DIFERENCES BETWEEN ROMEO AND JULIET'S BOOK AND FILM.

In class,we read the book of Romeo and Juliet. Aftrer that we watched a film Romeo and Juliet produced in 1996. My task is comment the diferences between the book and film that we treat.

The film is located in Verona beach while the book is locates in Verona. The film was filed in 1996 and the book was writted in 1957.

There are differents key element like water and fire. This elements have a special mean. In the film appers water as the swiming pool and fire in the petrol station. The water means the peace between families and the fire means the war between families.

The language is mostly in vers in the film and nobody is the narratos but in the book mostly is in prose and the book is the narrator.

The fancy dress party. While, in the book, we can see that the dresses and costumes have the sole role of hiding the face of the then-new lovers to each other, in the film costumes are given a humouristic connotation along with the metaphor of Romeo and Juliet not knowing each other.

There are others importants elements in the book, but in the film are changed.  For example in the book the arms are swords but in the film are guns. The carriages are replaced for cars. And features like the elevatos, the caravan or the gas station appears in the film. This element didn't exist back in the XVI century.

Others differences less importants are:

The fray Laurance try to grow plants in the film while in the book he doesen't. And the apothecary who gibes the poision to Romes is, in the film, a poor unemployes man (a drug dealer). But in the book doesn't specified his situation.
