* AdaptationalVillainy: Prince, a CompositeCharacter of Juliet's cousin Tybalt, Prince Escalus and Paris, one of the Prince's relatives who was in an arranged marriage with Juliet.

to:

* AdaptationalVillainy: Prince, a CompositeCharacter of Juliet's cousin Tybalt, Prince is considerably worse than ''all'' the characters he's made up of. Prince Escalus and Paris, one of the Prince's relatives who was in an arranged marriage is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure whose antagonism comes from his frustration with Juliet. Romeo and Juliet's FeudingFamilies, and his order that Romeo be banished was an act of mercy, since the alternative was executing him. While Paris' exact characterization depends on the production, he seems to genuinely care about Juliet, courts her in the time period's appropriate manner by asking her father for her hand, and only attacks Romeo because he thinks he's there to vandalize Juliet's grave. Even Tybalt, despite being the closest thing the play had to an antagonist, is more likeable than Prince, since he never tried to force anybody to marry him.


Added DiffLines:

* CompositeCharacter: Prince is an amalgam of Juliet's cousin Tybalt, Prince Escalus, and Paris (one of the Prince's relatives who wanted to marry Juliet).


Added DiffLines:

The story follows, of course, Romeo and Juliet, two StarCrossedLovers who decide to marry in order to be together and free Juliet from an arranged marriage with an elephant seal. Of course, things don't go well.
