  • Shakespeare changed the pace of the love story between Romeo and Juliet (McKittrick)
  • In Shakespeare's play, the love story is much more rapid and extreme making the play more interesting to viewers
  • In Brooke's poem, the love story is much slower so the love story can progress and develope more
  • Shakespeare also changed the beginning of Brooke's poem entirely when forming his play
  • Although the beginning of Brooke's poem is where most of the characters are introduced, Shakespeare still manages to include most of the characters that appear in Brooke's poem

These collected aspects of Brooke's poem were the inspiring features which led Shakespeare to accepting the challenge of transforming Brooke's poem into his play.

What Shakespeare included from Brooke's Poem

  • Shakespeare kept the general idea and events of Romeus' and Juliet's love story similar to Brooke's poem (McKittrick)
  • Kept most of the characters
  • The order of the main events in Brooke's poem are essentially the same as in Shakespeare's play
