The movie Shakespeare in Love tells a tale of a young William Shakespeare falling in love while in the act of writing Romeo and Juliet. In the film, Shakespeare's love life mirrors the play Romeo and Juliet. Viola, Shakespear's love interest, is set to an arranged marriage with Lord Wessex so Viola's maiden name can be linked to aristocracy. Though William Shakespeare and Viola are in love, they are forbidden to marry, as are Romeo and Juliet in his plays. In the movie Shakespeare in Love, William Shakespeares life mirrors that of Romeo and Juliet's in his play.

The movie Shakespeare in Love mirrors Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. In reality, Shakespeare's true love, Viola, had been arranged to marry Lord Wessex for political reasons. Because of this, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet that Romeo could not marry Juliet. In the movie, Viola must go to America never to see William again. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare made both characters die to resemble exactly what he was living. It was such a good play because the events in Romeo and Juliet were things that could actually happen between two people during that time.

In the movie "Shakespeare in Love", Shakespeare finds himself falling in love as he writes "Romeo and Juliet." in the movie, Shakespeare's co-workers are holding auditions for cast for the play and they come across Viola who is dressed as a boy. Soon after Will, knowing she is a girl, falls in love with her. However in Shakespeare's really life at the time, a woman could not be on stage and also a woman of royalty rarely married a playwright. In the time of the movie, Viola was forced to marry Lord Wessex and she did. In the play Will was not allowed to marry Viola! In his real life the same rule applied. This is how Shakespeare's experiences mirrors the message of love in Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare in Love mirrors Romeo and Juliet with the idea of forbindin love. Shakespeare, who is portreyed as a lowwer-class person falls in love with a upper-class women named Viola. During the time he falls in love with her Shakespeare and his co-workers are holding auditions for the play " Romeo and Juliet". In the end of the movie the men who was playing the women was killed, therefore, the cast members and co-workers used Viola. Voila was forced to marry Lord Wessex and made to leave the city she once grew up in to be with Wessex. Shakespeare falling in love with her in his real life was forbidin from the money difference. Whoever, falling in love with her in the play was not right, but not wrong because it was in a play, not realy life.

The movie Shakespeare in Love tells the fictional tale of William Shakespeare falling in love in the midst of writing Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's experience of love in real life mirrors Romeo and Juliet's message about love in many different ways. The woman Shakespeare falls in love with, Viola, is being forced to marry someone she is not truly in love with and no one would approve of Shakespeare and Viola being together. In Romeo and Juliet no one approves of them being together either but they find ways just as Shakespeare and Viola found ways to be together. I believe that Shakespeares message of love is that no matter what happens in life you will find ways to be with the one you love and if there is no solution, your love for one another will always exsist in your hearts. In the movie Shakespeare had writters block before he met Viola so much of his play was inpired by their love that could not be broken.

In the movie, Shakespeare's Love, William Shakespeare, a peasant man, falls in love with a rich girl, Viola. As he is writing the play "Romeo and Juliet", Viola is inspired by his work and wants to audition. However, females werent allowed to act on stage, so she dresses herself up as a man. Viola gets cast as Romeo, and when Will finds out, they have a secret yet strong love. They cannot love eachother though, because she is bound to marry Lord Wessex. This is like the play "Romeo and Juliet" because they both include forbidden love. Also, Romeo and Juliet are together at a masquerade, where they can't tell who eachother are. This is like the movie because when Viola is dressed as a man, Shakespeare is not aware that it is really her. This is how the movie "Shakespearean Love" mirrors the classical play "Romeo and Juliet".

The movie Shakespeare in Love is very reflective of Romeo and Juliet by having similar themes the main one being forbiden love. The love relationship beween Romeo and Juliet is prevented by their parents becuase of thier fued in the same way Shakespeare's girlfriend was forced to stop seeing Shakespeare becuase of her arranged marrage. In both cases it worked. In Romeo and Juliet they were seperated by death itself while Shakespeare and his girlfriend were seperated by an ocean. The reflection is clear and obvious.

The movie Shakespeare in love mirrors the play romeo and juliet because most of the events really happened to shakespeare. In real life Viola the girl Shakespeare loves was to get an arranged marriage with Lord Wessex. Shakespeare wasnt able to stop the wedding and Viola had to go to the colonies in america. This is mirrored in the play. Also in the play Romeo was forbidden from seeing his love. This was also true in real life Shakespeare was forbidden from seeing viola.

Shakespeares own life mirrors Romeo and Juliet in many ways. First, Shakespeare couldn't marry his love, Viola, because she was to get an arranged marriage. This mirrors the play because Romeo can not marry Juliet. Also, Romeo and Juliet were separated. They were separated by killing each other, while shakespeare and viola were separated by a ocean in between them. Both of these are examples of how Romeo and Juliet mirrors Shakespeare's own life.

In the movie Shakespeare in Love, Shakespeare's romance with Viola mirrors the story of Romio and Juliet. Shakespeare and Viola are forbidden to see each other and they must sneak around to see each other. Just like in Romio and Juliet how no one wanted them to be together. Viola is being forced to marry someone she does not love. But true love can not be forced. And Shakespeare and Viola find away to be together by Viola dressing up as a man. Also in Romio and Juliet there powerful love for each other showed the people of their town that they must be together. In Shakespeare in love, it mirrors this when Viola and Shakespeare preform the play in front of the whole town even including Queen Elizabeth. And that is how Shakespeare In Love mirros the play Romio and Juliet.
