Capulet Ball


The ball scene seems to be very different from what I had envisioned the scene from, while reading the original version. Besides for the fact that it is more modern, the scene seems to give a different feel. As though Romeo and Juliet are running away, as in the original version, they are not chased but Juliet is simply called for and taken by her nurse. I also would have envisioned that they had not been in such broad and open of a place when they would have kissed. It just seems as though everyone would have seen them. I believe the movie version drifts further away from the original but still delivers the same messages.
