| Palabra clave: | Baz Luhrman Shakespeare Teoria dos Humores Quatro. |
| Sumario: | This work aims to show how Baz Luhrman's movie utilizes Galen's "theory of the humors"and the four elements of Greek tradition (water, fire, earth and air). Although theseelements are not explicit in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the "theory of the humors" was largely known in Elizabethan England, as can be exemplified with Ben Johnson'sEvery Man is His Humor, or the parodic use Shakespeare makes of it in Henry V. |
