She often provides comic relief to the play. Dressed rebelliously in punk clothes, they pull into a gas station. Aside from theater, the play has also been adapted in movies and television.

Benvolio explains he has seen at Sycamore Beach, and Ted and Gloria lament the fact that Romeo is often there, and seems to be in the midst of a deep depression.

But there is another side to this association of personal love and religion. This seems to be the only place Juliet is allowed to go outside of her home, for purposes of confessing sins—presumably not to commit them.

It is doubtful whether Shakespeare or his contemporaries were much concerned about the period of the play. Thy wild acts denote The unreasonable fury of a beast. Each gang reveals they are holding guns, and Abra taunts and mocks the Montague boys. The television, as an image-within-an-image with yet another moving image contained therein , also signals the film's highly self-conscious awareness of its own theatricality as a visual spectacle.
Now listen to me: those who act the way you are acting now die miserable. Thus, in the terms of their conversation, she takes his sin from him. So the answer is quite ambiguous as you see- the story seems to arise in 1400s Italy, though there are earlier references to the Montagues and Capulets. Benvolio and Romeo, along with fellow Montague Balthasar, depart the billiard hall. A title card reveals that we are in Verona—a crime-ridden metropolis in the midst of a power struggle between two warring family empires.

Why are you ranting about your birth, the heavens, and the earth? Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed. Written text itself—in the form of title cards, billboards, newspapers, magazine covers, and labels printed on the sides of police cars and helicopters--also enters crucially into this motley media environment, establishing a decidedly new and modern context in which the literary content of the play will emerge.

As she's being sewn up in a corset, Gloria needles Juliet about her willingness to betroth Paris, and Juliet replies that she'll feel nothing more than she's compelled to.

Critical and textual studies show that the style is very similar to his other plays dating from the 1590s. She is humbled by the death of her daughter Juliet. From across the room, Romeo sees Juliet, and asks a servingman who she is. As Capulet moves on, Tybalt vows that he will not let this indignity pass.
An authorized quarto appeared in 1599, substantially longer and more reliable. In the next scene, we are in the Capulet offices with and Dave Paris. And sayst thou yet that exile is not death? The movie High School Musical is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, and that, of course is set in modern day America. As the Montague limousine drives by, Romeo makes his way through a dissolute array of Verona Beach denizens, including prostitutes and the homeless. Given that television was arguably the most influential and pervasive storytelling medium in American culture at this moment, present in nearly every living room, the image reflects Luhrmann's desire to create a truly populist piece of commercial entertainment. Their first confrontation establishes a number of themes that will pervade the film, namely religion, passion, and violence, and the connections and resemblances between them.
