Book vs Film

Question 1. SETTING:Places Where does the classical play and the new version take place? Example: Verona vs Verona Beach (place them in a map)

In film the places are more moderns: the fight of first chapter, in the book is in a square but in the film is in a gas station. The garden of the Capulets, in the book, hasn't got any pool but in the film has got a pool.


Question 2.. IMAGERY: metaphors and images in the film: WATER (swimming pool, beach, aquarium...) and FIRE (petrol station, fights...), DAY and NIGHT, the MOON. What do they mean?
The water appers when Romeo and Juliet are togeder. The fire appers when the moment is sad or is a fight. The metaphor is that water and fire are opposites and love and hate too. So fire = had or sad and water = life or love.


Question 5. ELEMENTS. To make the new version, basic elements have been changed. Example: swords for gun
In the new version for go to places that are very far the use cars and in book version no. Also in new version the castle of the Capulets is The Mansion of tje Capulets.
