Romeo And Juliet Comparison Research Paper

“Two households, both alike in dignity” a quote from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet, I would like to compare this essay to this because it says “Two households, both alike” and figuratively that is what this essay is going to be about. Two movies that are much alike, but also have their differences. I will be sharing my view of some of these likenesses and some of these differences, essentially comparing and contrasting the two. These movies are called Clash of the Titans, one is from 1980 and the other is from 2010. In this essay you will read and be informed all about the opposites and the identicals in these two movies on these three narrative elements: the setting(s), characters, and theme.

This is relative to these movies because in the 1980’s version the theme was about love and the main character's goal was to marry the princess, but over time people have changed and tastes have changed so instead in the 2010 movie it is about war and revenge which appeals more to today's society because, to us war seems more relatable or likely than marrying a princess. Although the major overall themes are different that doesn’t mean they don’t incorporate both it just means the emphasis is different or changed.

In both of these films Perseus is a brave adventurer just in one he is a vengous, brave adventurer and in the other he is a romantic, brave adventurer. That is how these movies have the same but also different
