My opinion of how to perform in Romeo and Juliet
In the script of the play Romeo and Juliet, the author Shakespeare tells a tale of palm in prayer to show Romeo ’s strong affection to Juliet. In the play, I find there are both advantages and disadvantages in performance.
Firstly, there exist some good points in performance. Take eye communication for example, when Romeo talks with Juliet, his eyes never leave away from Juliet’s eyes. This detail expresses his deep love and strong desire to kiss Juliet. While Juliet is very nervous, she is hesitated whether she should be kissed by Romeo, so she never looks Romeo in her eye. This action shows her nerve and hesitation. Another highlight is the hands performance. When Romeo touches Juliet’s hand, he gets hold of her hands tightly. We can see Romeo’s passion and love from it. When Juliet hesitates, she frees her hands from Romeos’ and then she holds Romeos ’ hands again. During the whole conversation, the hands performance reveals both of their inner feeling. When Juliet gets her hands away from Romeo’s hands, she may feel regretful for it, so she holds Romeo’s hand again. This detail shows Juliet’s contradicted inner world.
However, a few shortcomings still remain. For the part of Juliet, her gesture is sort of unnatural. When Romeo expresses his
desire to her, her face and gesture is kind of unnatural. As for Romeo, his affection is not thoroughly expressed by his tongue and gesture. May be he can take more short and quick action to express his feeling.
I think a good performance needs many aspects including eye contact, speaking tongues, body language and the like. Only all the elements are balanced well, can a play be a big success.
