Soundtrack Songs

“Love Story” by Taylor Swift
 Tells the story of the play. Two teenagers fall in love at
a party. However, the parents don’t want the two to
be together, Juliet waits for Romeo to save her – just
like she did when she “died.” This song could be
played with Romeo and Juliet are sneaking around.

“If I Die Young” by The Band Perry
 Romeo and Juliet die very young. Their parents are
very upset over loosing their children. I see this song
being played at the end of the play.

“Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars
 Romeo thinks Juliet is perfect from the moment he
lays eyes on her. He wouldn’t do anything to change
the way she looks or who she is. This could be played
right after Romeo meets Juliet.


“I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
 Romeo and Juliet fall deeply in love with each other.
They couldn’t stand the thought of living without each
other. When each saw the other one dead, they took
their own life. This song could be played at the end of
the play.

"Eternal Flame" by The Bangles
◦ Romeo and Juliet have what seems to be an eternal
love for each other. This could also be played at the
end when they each commit suicide for the other.

“If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys
 Romeo and Juliet didn’t care if they weren’t suppose
to be together, they would do anything to be able to
see each other. There love was so strong, if they only
had each other, they would still be happy.


“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by
Roberta Flack
 Romeo fell in love with Juliet as soon as he laid eyes
on her at the Capulet’s party. Juliet fell in love with
him right away, too. This song could be played when
Juliet and Romeo first see each other.

"Without You" by David Guetta
 When Romeo thought Juliet was dead, he didn't
know what to do. He couldn't stand the thought of
living without the other person. Juliet felt the same
way when she saw Romeo dead. This song could be
played at the end of the play when they each find
each other dead.
“Woman on a Balcony”
“Women on a Balcony”
relates to Romeo and Juliet
by representing one of it’s
greatest scenes. Romeo and
Juliet profess their love for
each other while Juliet is on
her balcony. This picture
represents Juliet on her
balcony talking to Romeo.
Carl Gustav Carus
Play Setting
I would set the play,
Romeo and Juliet, in
Paris, France. The play is
about love, Paris is a
place that comes to
mind when I think of love.
I can also see the use of
older words, like the types
of words used in Romeo
and Juliet, spoken in a
place like this. Paris has
many beautiful buildings
that were built during the
time period this play
takes place in.
Act 2, Scene 2 - Juliet
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
The only part of Romeo
that is an enemy to Juliet,
is his name.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
Juliet thinks a name has
nothing to do with who
a person is.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
Helps you understand
what Juliet is saying
when she compares
names of people to
names of flowers. You
see what she means by
the object wouldn’t be
different with a different
name.
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name, which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
Juliet thinks taking
away Romeo’s last
name wouldn’t
change him at all,
or who he is.
