Shakespeare in Love, Romeo and Juliet the play, Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprioAll of these works display very different ideas from the original story and its creation. Each of them has their own way of representing the era, characters and themes. Seeing diverse opinions on what exactly was going through Shakespeare's head as he wrote this magnificent play allows us to be open to our own ideas about its creation. This gives everyone the opportunity to put their own version in their head. Which makes it a very controversial piece. Sometimes ideas and opinions are so widespread that people argue about the exact purpose of a certain action or scene. This is what leads to the creation of different versions.
