Answer 1

The difference in perception of the event in the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet between Shakespeare and Mueller lies in how the scene is depicted.

Shakespeare shows Juliet on a balcony and Romeo on the ground below her, while Mueller shows the two sharing an embrace.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet balcony scene shows the two unlucky lovers situated far apart, with Juliet up on her balcony and Romeo skulking in the bushes down below. In a way Shakespeare's perception and depiction of this scene embodies the huge gap between the two, perhaps it foreshadows what was to come (the two were not destined to be together).

Mueller's perception and depiction of the event on the other hand, shows the two locked in an embrace. This perception shows that perhaps the two have a chance together, or at least they have enjoyed a brief happiness together.
