Romeo and Juliet - The Killers. This is the music video of the Killer's song, Romeo and Juliet. The whole song refers to Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's most famous poetic characters. I think this song really brings out Shakespeare's poem to people who may not be that into it. It helps people understand, in our cultures language, what shakespeare was saying.

This episode of the Simpsons I think really brings out Edgars Allen Poe's poem because it is very clear that this is a poem being read and it is not just hidden in the lines of the show. I do think though that it does not enhance the show as much as other lines from famous poems that are more sneaky. It amazes me to see such a popular showing using such old poetry, thus proving to me how talented poets really are.
