... The main theme portrayed in "Shakespeare in Love" is a love that is never meant to be. "Shakespeare in Love" parallels the play Shakespeare is currently working on, Romeo and Juliet, in which love is not meant to be due to the many obstacles in the way. ...
"Shakespeare in Love" is a fairly accurate representation of the life of William Shakespeare at the time he was writing Romeo and Juliet. ... It is not until he encounters the young noblewoman, Viola de Lesseps, that he discovers true love. This love that he meets is the one who takes his heart and is so special. The connection between Will and the woman he fell are love with is so special. ... The way they speak to each other is just like a play and it is true love being spoken.
This is a connection that is love which, is never meant to last. In Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet fall in love with each other as soon as they lay eyes on each other. The difference from this movie and the play, Romeo and Juliet, is that Will and Viola find love but they do not proceed it to the level it needs to go. However, in "Shakespeare in Love," both William and Viola feel true love at first sight, but it is more of an image that Viola falls in love with. She has fallen in love with some that she sees and everything about the poet. The mystique that surrounds William Shakespeare is uncontrollable and that is what she loves no matter what is wrong. It is after she spends more and more time with him that she begins to fall in love with the real William, but it is not meant to be, because she is to marry someone else. ... The fact that Viola fell in love with a reputation hints that maybe there was never love at first sight; therefore they were never meant to be together. It could be the reputation that she fell in love with or it could be the person himself that she loves.
In the film, Shakespeare has to write and perform a play for the Queen of England. ...
Shakespeare and Viola fall deeply in love after working together for a short while. Viola could be viewed as the woman Shakespeare wrote so many of his sonnets about. However, their love is kept secret because of her true identity. ... As their affair continues, Will writes more of the play which is now turning out to be a love story that illustrates the actual events taking place in Wills life, rather than a comedy.
