SCRIPT WRITING AND ANALYSIS

In this section of my blog i choose a script and analysed it. A script can be seen as written work that has been made especially for a film or television program.

ROMEO AND JULIET BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
I choose the duologue between Juliet and the nurse after she got word that Romeo had killed her cusin Tybalt.


NurseTybalt is gone, and Romeo banished;
Romeo that kill'd him, he is banished.


JULIETO God! did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood?   [the question Juliet asks her self, hoping]
                                                                                                 it is not true
]
NurseIt did, it did; alas the day, it did!

JULIETO serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!
Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!                       [
Juliet at this moment has hatred for                                          
Despised substance of divinest show!                                      
Romeo, but this hatred does not last
Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,                              
long.]
A damned saint, an honourable villain!
O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!


NurseThere's no trust,
No faith, no honesty in men; all perjured,                                
[The nurse,having no positive feelings
All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.                                  
towards Romeo tries to poison Juliet's
Ah, where's my man? give me some aqua vitae:                      
mind]
These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.
Shame come to Romeo!


JULIETBlister'd be thy tongue                                       [The love and affection Juliet has for Romeo  
For such a wish! he was not born to shame:                    
surface again, as she tell the nurse off for
Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit;                          
insulting Romeo.]
For 'tis a throne where honour may be crown'd
Sole monarch of the universal earth.
O, what a beast was I to chide at him!


NurseWill you speak well of him that kill'd your cousin?      
[The nurse challenges Juliet love and                                                                                 l                                                                                                    loyalty between Romeo and her family
                                                                                                     this final question]
