However in ""Romeo and Juliet"" violence is played out only as a result of a deep hatred and rage, i.e.: when Romeo kills Tybalt; or in the case of Capulet becoming dominatingly violent with Juliet, it is played out to depict the social authority of man. The degree of violence is to the greater extreme in ""Romeo Must Die"" with the use of powerful machine guns and bombs, as opposed to the use of swords in ""Romeo and Juliet"". This change reflects that my audience requires a greater amount of action and suspense to feel satisfaction with a text. It also displays the change in context of the pieces, as swords were used in the same way in Elizabethan times as guns are now. My transformation also presents a vast difference in the presence of hierarchy of society in ""Romeo and Juliet"". In ""Romeo Must Die"" there is no overruling power figure to inflict lawful order in the society, as the Price does in ""Romeo and Juliet"". A person's position in society is based on the presence of guns and the amount of wealth they acquire, however this is debatable as the aim of many "servants" under Isaac O"Day and Han's father are at odds to take over the position these men hold. The man who has most control in the activity of the two families is Mr Rock who seems to have the both in the palm of his hand. There are similarities too, however, in the two texts in the distinct hierarchy present in the structure of the opposing sides/families. They both have a controlling father figure and loyalties to the respective culture/family run deep, although in ""Romeo Must Die"" this loyalty turns out to be fake. I portrayed the women in ""Romeo Must Die"" differently to that in ""Romeo and Juliet"" to show the development of there position and role in society in the modern era. In ""Romeo and Juliet"" the women acquire a form of servitude, especially when married, as they are completely dutiful in their actions, language and thoughts, and they strive to achieve a famine appearance and innocence, which is evident through studying Juliet.
