- Human
nature is a wonderous thing, throughout history people have struggled
with true love, family troubles, jealousy, betrayal, and yes even
murder.
-
- These experiences however, are nothing new. Mankind
has battled with these same issues throughout history. William
Shakespeare wrote about all of these emotions in his play Romeo and
Juliet and these feeling still accurate today.
- Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
is poetic, lyrical, and timeless. His work has survived the test of time and is as
true today as it was over four hundred years ago. As hard as it
maybe to believe, there are some people who find it difficult to read
Shakespeare’s beautiful words. Some people also do not think that his
work is relevant in today’s world. Some even think Shakespeare's plays
are boring! So today you are going to prove them wrong.
- Here is your task,
you are to turn the nonbeliever into believes and create a way to get
them to appreciate Shakespeare’s work. Show the
nonbelievers that Romeo and Juliet can be transferred to almost any
time period in history. You can choose any time period you like, from
colonial times to the 1980s.
