Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a man born into an amazing musical talent. When most boys were still running away from the girls that had cooties, Mozart was composing symphonies and operas. The movie AMADEUS illustrates Mozart’s life as seen by another composer, Salieri. Throughout the movie Salieri highlights many important events in Mozart’s life. By just looking at these few snip-its of Mozart’s life, we can figure out a lot about him and especially about some of his relationships with people. Mozart and his wife had a loving yet conflicting relationship. His father was very protective, guiding and advising of his son. Above all though, Salieri’s extreme hatred bread through jealousy can be seen. All three of these relationships eventually lead to his stressful, maddening death.
The first time we meet Mozart’s wife, it is long before the two are married. They are chasing each other and rolling around in a back room during a very sophisticated event that Mozart was scheduled to perform at. They were young, with no regrets and no worries.

The interesting thing about this hatred though, was that it was never blatant and out in the open; it would seem to me that it was almost imperceptible to Mozart. The scene that best illustrates the tension between the two was when Mozart came to the palace where Salieri worked to meet the lord and ask for employment. Upon Mozart’s entrance the lord played a piece that Salieri had struggled to write for the occasion. Not only was Mozart able to play the piece back for memory after hearing it only once, but he also added to it and made it better. It was not long before Salieri began to plot Mozart’s demise. Salieri had the perfect opportunity at the end of the film; he just simply worked Mozart to death. Mozart was commissioned to write two pieces shortly after his father had passed away and right before his wife left him. Salieri took full advantage of
