Romeo and Juliet- Comparing Film to Play 
Romeo and Juliet- Comparing Films
In class, we read William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and watched Carlo Carlei's adaptation. You are to write an essay comparing and contrasting how the director of the film depicted Shakespeare's play. This should be a subjective paper but there should NOT be contractions or personal pronouns as this is formal writing.
