imes women were not allowed to act in the theatre. However, Viola, the character, wants to act and auditions for a role in the production. When it is found out there is a female working on the production, the theatre is shut down. In my opinion, the most dramatic part, is at the end of the production of Romeo and Juliet, where Shakespeare is acting opposite his muse and she wakes up to find his character laying beside her dead and she stabs herself. Also, the costumes are beautiful and reflect an ornate detail.The movie was a wonderful display of the sixteenth century theatres and their production's. The reviews of the movie "Shakespeare in Love" were differing, either it was seen as an outstanding piece of work or overrated. Sometimes, Shakespeare can be a little hard to watch because of many peoples unfamiliarity with the prose, however, I think the movie did a wonderful job of helping literally anyone comprehend the poetic verse. The movie also gives you a sense of the Baroque style and the dramatic expression during these times. While the movie is fictional, it is absolutely an educational tool in helping depict the theatre and drama of these times. Although nothing can compare to a live production of a Shakespeare play, Hollywood's interpretation of Shakespeare was educational and a joy to watch....
