 The most famous tragic lve story dating back to antiquity.

Author: William Shakespeare

The Prologue

 The prologue is the introduction of the story. Here, he is short and he learn us that:

-The context.

The scene takes place to Verona (In italy) for one day. The main characters are Two lovers, two "Households" ( The Capulat and the Montaigue ) but the Families are enemy. Their quarrels are extremly violent.

Aladin and Jasmine

 The two scenes are similar, sincethe girl is still high, behind the balcony and the boy is below it. The balcony represents the line of separation of both worlds. Moreover, the moon is also an element present in both scenes.  

The two photos show us a love scene, a romantic encounter because their eyes are filled with love. Aladin is on a magic carpet, in a vacuum, it amplifies even more "dangerous" love these two characters. The story of Aladdin and Jasmine is magical, imaginary, while the story of Romeo and Juliet is more realistic.

 I think if Romeo and Juliet had survived, they wouldn't have them the same purpose as Harriet and David. Indeed, the golden couple of English literature, have encountered a dilemma between their love and their families. They are in love and they want to finish their lives together. The problem comes from the outside world  and nothing prevented from leaving away from it all to build a more beautiful life. However the problem of harriet and david is born of their love. They are Disagree   from birth to Ben while Romeo and Juliet are ready to do anything to live together and welded to the end of their days. I think Romeo and Juliet as if they had survived, they would have a life even more perfect than the beginning of their romance as they reflect a couple without any limits just to be and to finish together.    

 During the

 Elizabethan Era, there

 were catholic and

 protestant people in England.

 In fact, the religion changed because of t

he monarch's religion who was at the head of the state.

        That's why, all persons who didn't follow the state religion received punishments, was victims of tortures or    executions (burnt on fire …).
