An Analysis of Rome and Juliet by Cora Andrews

my name's Cora Andrews, and I'm going to be discussing

my analysis of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

Um, whenever I was researching the work, I found that

it was actually based on Arthur Books.

Um, narrative poem called The Tragical History of Romeo and

Juliet. Except Shakespeare made two changes to this work.

He changed Juliet's age from 16 to 13, which added

dra mat, which made it more dramatic.

And he also changed the time frame from nine months

to four days, which also sped things up really quickly

and also increase the, um, drama in the play.

Uh, I also found that Juliet's age symbolizes the prematurity

of their marriage.

Um, she's 13, as we've discussed before, which in her

culture at that time, in addition to now, obviously, 13

is way too young for marriage.

And she even admitted to Romeo that was too rash

to Hunt.

Advised in 27 Um, the third thing that I found

from my research is that Friar Lawrence is the primary

cause of the couple's dead.

Um, he really marries them, only to turn their household's

rancor to pure love, and he doesn't really care what

he does in the, um, middle of that to reach

his vision, he really just takes advantage of their immaturity

to pursue what he wants.

Um, in my first source too soon.

Married, Um, Juliet's age is a symbol in Romeo and

Juliet by Carl Frandsen.

It discusses Elizabeth and culture, which is the culture that

they were living in and how it pertained to her

age. Um, I found that, really, in their culture, it

was seen as, um, getting married too young could mean

that you could become ill, that it was dangerous, and

so you weren't allowed to consummate your marriage until much,

much later.

Um, it also further explains the symbolism of Juliet's age,

as we've discussed in tells of how many times her

age is referenced in a place such as her name

having 13 letters and her being the 13th name character

to enter the play.

And my third, so sorry in my second source, Um,

what kind of play is Romeo and Juliet?

We find that it's political, and it's a tragic love

story, as everybody knows, but it's mostly meant to be

an exemplary, which is the story with a moral um,

and it discusses the moral code, which Shakespeare made through

the changes from Arthur Brooks poem um, and describes the

different morals and different passages such as pertaining to Friar

Laurence. Be aware of anyone professing holiness, Um, since he

was considered a holy man.

But he was really misguiding the young teenagers.

Uh, and in my third source, politics, religion and love's

transgression. I found that it discussed the relationship between the

political realm and family, society, religion, friendship and love through

the relationships of the characters.

It also explains how everybody fails Romeo and Juliet.

But for the most part, it's, um, Fire Lawrence.

I selected this work because I remembered reading it in

high school but never really understood what it meant.

But through my research, I've learned that it's not just

a tragic love story of puppy love going too far

and young people being stupid.

It's actually just from Ms Guidance.

Whenever they went to somebody that they trusted to get

information about what they should do, they were, um, just

let in the wrong direction.

And, um, it really sucks because they really trusted for

our Lawrence.

Um, but I knew that they were young and Now,

I'm really glad that I understand the meaning of, um,

their age and why Shakespeare would do so.

I hope this was interesting to you.

It turned out to be a lot more interesting to

me than I thought it would be.

Um, but thank you for your time.

That was my presentation.
