This study presents an interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet” in terms of movement and stasis, to evidence the way in which these two elements characterize the behavior and the linguistic choices of the two protagonists, as also the entire structure of the tragedy. In particular, three basic thematic movements are analysed: the motif of the feud, the love story, and the transposition effected by Shakespeare in his re-writing of the poetic source in Brooke as theatrical work.
In questo studio viene presentata una lettura di “Romeo and Juliet” in termini di movimento e di stasi, per evidenziare il modo in cui questi due elementi caratterizzano il comportamento e le scelte linguistiche dei due protagonisti come pure dell'intera struttura dell'opera. In particolare, vengono analizzati tre movimenti tematici basilari: il motivo della faida, quello amoroso, e la trasposizione operata da Shakespeare nella sua riscrittura della fonte poetica di Brooke come opera teatrale.

Abstract
This study presents an interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet” in terms of movement and stasis, to evidence the way in which these two elements characterize the behavior and the linguistic choices of the two protagonists, as also the entire structure of the tragedy. In particular, three basic thematic movements are analysed: the motif of the feud, the love story, and the transposition effected by Shakespeare in his re-writing of the poetic source in Brooke as theatrical work.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
