Films about zombies, gangs and rival families all seem not to be the same in the slightest but, one common feature links them all together, a main character who falls in love with someone is not destined to stay with her. This common bond originates from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet where Juliet serves as the inspiration for the main character in many modern works. The idea of ​​a young girl falling madly in love with someone she's forbidden from dating is not only appealing, but it's versatile and easily adaptable. Altered versions of Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet include Warm Bodies, West Side Story, and Baz Luhrmann's modernized Romeo and Juliet, all of which portray Juliet in many different ways. His character is not only popular in films but also in many songs, television programs and spin-off shows. Juliet is an extremely recognizable and versatile character who is portrayed in numerous ways in many contemporary works. The most recognizable depiction of Juliet is her original; daughter of the Capulet leader, cousin of the Capulet prince Tybalt, and of course, Romeo's true love. Baz Luhrmann's modernized version follows the original more closely than any other modernized film based on this play, as all characters and dialogue come from the original. Despite the accurate cast and lines, there are some changes made to the film that slightly affect how Juliet is seen/acted in the film. It may not seem like costume plays a very important role in major productions, but it does. Although this is a contemporary version, his costume is different from what was intended or seen in the original version (Gibbs 1). In the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time at the Capulets' party, we usually think that...... in the center of the card... we see who they are and where they come from. Maria is an immigrant from Puerto Rico and the sister of her gang's leader compared to the originals, where she is usually the daughter of her side's leader. This film was made in the mid-20th century when immigration was an issue, so this story reflects a contemporary issue (at the time). Despite the cultural evolution of the character in this work, Mary's personality mirrors that of Juliet as both are young, sheltered, and dependent, but ultimately risk the life of their loved one and their own life for the person they love. Whether she is a zombie hunter, Capulet's daughter, or a lovelorn immigrant, Juliet is a timeless figure who constantly recurs in stories. Whether these stories are told through song, poetry or film, there will always be room for the interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most beautiful characters, Juliet..
