West Side Story is the story of two star-crossed lovers, who belong to rival gangs in New York in 1960. It bears a remarkable resemblance to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. ...
West Side Story lacks the eloquence of speech that occurs in Romeo and Juliet. ... This occurs in the equivalent to the balcony scene, where Romeo delivers a soliloquy professing his love to Juliet. ... ” This parallels Juliet’s soliloquy where she talks about hardly being able to wait to spend her wedding night with Romeo. ... The soliloquy however expresses longing, almost an ache of sorts for Romeo’s company. ... Juliet’s soliloquy takes place shortly after their wedding, while Maria’s is shortly before her and Tony’s “wedding. ... ” Romeo’s short soliloquy when he sees Juliet for the first time also is very similar to the song “Maria” Both men fall head over heels at the first sight of their love, despite knowing virtually nothing about the other.
