William+Shakespeare


 * William Shakespeare, our Writing Topic**

We have just watched the Shakespeare Animated Tales 'Romeo and Juliet' This is a reflection...

1) What is the theme of the story? I think the themes of the story were love, romance, tragedy and hate. The main theme was deffinetly romance.

2) Did you enjoy it and why? I enjoyed it. Mainly because of the mixed emotions and complications in their relationship.

3) Why do you think it is still such a popular story? I think it is still a popular story because of the detail put into it. I personally think that it is where 'Forbiden Love' came from. Feud runs so deep in those two families and it was hard for them to keep a relationship.

After those few questions I think it is clear that I enjoyed the film. I liked the detail put into it. We have seen the Macbeth animated tales and I enjoyed Romeo and Juliet more. It was easier to understand. I think all of the animated tales are presented in a nice easy way for children to understand.
