In the film shakespeare's experience of love in real life mirror Romeo and Juliet's message of love because Shakespeare and the girl are from two different worlds in that they can't be togther because of it. He is from the poor and is a play writer and she is a rich lady who is the person the queen is friend's with. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's family hates Romeo's family and they can't be together because of it. So Shakespeare's love experience is like romeo and juliet's love experience except he and his love don't die they just have to seperate.

In the movie Shakespeare in love, shakespeare's experience with love mirrors the play that he wrote about Romeo and Juliet.In the play Romeo and Juliet can not be together because there families dont approve. In Shakespeare's real life he could not be with the girl he wanted to be with because she was getting married to someone else. In both these situations They could not be witht the people they loved.

The movie, "Shakespeare in Love mirrors" Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet in many ways. The character that plays Shakespeare in the movie is in love with a popular young women. Similar to Romeo and Juliet, this love between the both of them will never become because of their families disapproval. Just like in Romeo and Juliet, both of their families hated each other which is why they couldn't be together. Instead of dying in the end, both Shakespeare and his love are separated

Both in Romeo and Juliet and with Shakespeare and his lover most people believe they arent meant for each other. Romeo is the complete opposite of Juliet, Romeo is a stable boy and Juliet is a rich women. Shakespeare is a play writer and his lover is a women who lives in a palace. In both cases they believe Romeo should marry a maid and Shakespear should marry someone who is not "royalty"; the same for the women who are rich, everyone believes they should marry a king. As you can see this is how both cases are related.

the play and his rewal lifer are almost the same becasue the play was bsed off of what was happening in his life at the time.so,everthing that happened on aparticular day he would write that into the play.the play mirrors it perfectly because of this.also he added things that were happening to ohter people as well.

In the movie "Shakespeare in Love" and Romeo and Juliet mirror each other in a couple of ways. One way is that their love is forbidden due to the fact that Juliet is royal and Romeo is a poor boy. Also Juliet has to go against her family and sneak around their backs by meeting up with Romeo. It is similar in the movie because the queens daughter sneaks around to the play house to act which her mom does not want her doing and also she sneaks there to meet Shakespeare. Lastly Shakespeare is a play writer so he is supposed to marry a regular women which is the same for Romeo because he is a regular guy but Juliet is royalty in both cases.

In the movie Shakespeare in Love, Shakespeare's play is just like his real life. While writing the play he is in love with a women. Even though she loves him too, she is supposed to be marrying another man. Just like in the play how Romeo and Juliet are in love but Juliet's family doesn't want her to be with him. That is how in the movie, Shakespeare's real life mirrors his play.

In the movie, Shakespeare in Love, Shakespeare's play is parallel to his life. Romeo and Shakespeare both suffer that they are not allowed to be together even though they love each other. So in both, his life and play, they kept seeing eachother with no one knowing. In the end Romeo and Shakespeare both suffer from the lost of their love. In Shakespeare's play he writes about a man losing someeone he loves who he can't live without, which is how he feels about Viola.

In the film, the play William Shakespeare wrote shows the idea of love, It is the mirror of his real love. In Romeo and Juliet's they love, because of the family they can’t been together. Their family don’t allow them together, but they don’t give up, they dead together at the end. In the real world, Shakespeare meet a girl, they love each other. But because of the girl is the daughter of a rich women, and Shakespeare is a poor boy in theater. In Romeo and Juliet's Juliet will married another people, in the real world the girl he love will married other people too. Shakespeare and the girl do not dead at the real world but the play shows, if they divided is like the death of them.

At here, Shakespeare and Viola are just like Romeo and Juliet, these two couple lovers are in love very deeply, but they cannot be together. In Romeo and Juliet, they are from two completely opposite families, the leaders of two families would allow them get together; also, Juliet would marry another man who her family members have already decided. And in the movie, Shakespeare and Viola’s social positions are so different—Viola is a princess of the country, but Shakespeare is only a pour writer! That’s why they can’t marry each other. In this case, the mirror of Shakespeare’s real life and Romeo and Juliet is, there are some restrictions on love, that’s not free.

In the movie shakespeare expirenced love in many ways that are like the ways in his play Romeo and Juliette. One way they are the same is that in both they are not allowed to be together. Romeo and juliette can't be together because of their family's and Shakespeare cant be with her in the movie because of the prearranged mArrige and that Shakespeare is already married. Second they are alike in that they are in 2 different classes. Romeo and Juliette's family's feel that the other is a lower class then them and Shakespeare in the movie is portrayed as a lesser class the the girl. Thoes are two prime examples of where the play Romeo and Juliette and Shakespeare's live are alike.

I think of the stories are similar in that they are both trying to love each-other. But there is something or someone who is trying to stop them from loving each-other on way or another. They also end in similar ways because they are both separated, but not by death. They do still fight through the people trying to stop them. But they were most likely influenced to do this because of romeo and juliet.

In the movie shakespeare encounters many different examples of love related to romeo and juiliet. One example is that shakespeare and Kate are from two different worlds and they will never be able to be with each other. The Queen has ordered that kate be married to a lord not a playwriter. Another example that relates to romeo and juliet is that they have to sneak around to be with each other. Kate from the movie has to dress up as a man so that she could be with shakespeare. Another example is that they both are not equal in the eyes of the law nor by social standards. So there are many similarties in shakespeare in love as well as romeo and juliet.

Shakespeare in Love and the famous play Romeo and Juliet have many similarities, first of all in the movie Shakespeare's best friend gets killed in a fight and Shakespeare blames his rival while in the book Romeo's friend gets killed by Tylbat the Montgue Romeo's rivals. Also they both love a girl that is to be married to another man who is better off than Will/Romeo also like Juliet the girl in the movie is having an arranged marriage so her family can be better off. Just like the book in the end they are both separated by the one they love, either by death or by the ocean

Shakespeare in love and the renowned play Romeo and Juliet mirror each other. In the movie it show's Shakespeare writing a comedy which later turns into a sort of drama. While he is writing he slowly falls in love with a beautiful maiden who he can only be with in secrecy, due to the circumstances at hand. In the play the two lovers cannot be together due to their families disapproval of the of the other family. Both these stories are about forbidden love that can never truly happen.

In the movie Shakespeare in love he loved a woman he could not be with. She was going to be forced to marry another man. In Romeo and Juliet the situations are similar. In the movies it talks about them being In different families. Their not aloud to be together because of their differences by their parents and people. Their situations both are similar to that they can't be with their one true love.

In the Shakespeare in love, Shakespeare's experience with love mirrors the play that he wrote about Romeo and Juliet. He first mirrors it when Kate the queens daughter couldn't marry a play writer just like how Juliet can't marry a Montague (romeo). Also Romeo and Juliet are separated from each other like Kate and Shakespeare. My last one is that Juliet and Kate are both setup in arranged marriages, Kate is supposed to marry a prince and Juliet is supposed to marry Paris.
