They also incorporate the balcony scene and the ideas of running away and getting married. In summary “’Love Story” by Taylor Swift better represents Romeo and Juliet by using moments from the play, their lyrics, and their imagery display. In the play Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is considered a sin by their families but Ne-Yo probably put that in a different context. Then the rest of lyrics sound sexual rather than them being romantic. The only thing relevant to these lyrics are that this is a connection to the feelings Romeo has to Juliet like how he can’t stop being with her. The song has almost no connection to Romeo and Juliet and the lyrics are very repetitive. “Closer” by Ne-Yo isn’t something to get excited about. Now lets move on to the next song “Closer” by Ne-Yo and see how the song relates to Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift is the best representation of Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet. They decided to get married so the play Romeo and Juliet is at heart a love story. These lyrics resembled the play very well because Romeo and Juliet shared their love for each other during the balcony scene. I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress “Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone The difference is they never snuck into a garden together, Romeo came by himself and startled Juliet The similarity to the play is that during the balcony scene Juliet feared for Romeo’s life because if they were caught Capulet would probably have Romeo killed. We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew” Also she never goes to cry in a staircase. The key differences between the lyrics and the play are in the lyrics where Juliet’s father tells Romeo to “Stay away from Juliet,” Capulet never told Romeo in the play to stay away from Juliet. The similarities is that it resembles the Capulet party and both Romeo and Juliet’s parents are against them being together.

The lyrics have a great connection to Romeo and Juliet. Also the song is sung in Juliet’s perspective mostly then changing to Romeo’s perspective in some parts of the song. The imaginary flashback takes place in 14th century Verona with the costumes and the setting resembling Romeo and Juliet in a high degree. The song lyrics reference Romeo and Juliet and so does the imagery display. To start, “Love Story”, by Taylor Swift was clearly inspired by Romeo and Juliet and includes a lot of elements of the play in that song.
