LITERATURE.
Sara Carli
Literature represents the culture, the life, the feelings of the people of the past. It can serve to live new exsperience beyond real life. Literature includes creative im
agination work, poetry, drama and songs. For me it's me important because when we read, we learn to look between the lines. We are thought to find good teachings for life. I hope that this course in Enghish can help me to know the different personalities of authors, their works and naturally it can also help me to improve my Enghish language because will be introduced new terminologies.

My favorite quote!

Comment "Romeo and Juliet film"

carli_sara — 2018-03-10 18:12:32 UTC

The film was realized in 1968, and ispired by the most important William Shakespeare's tragedy. The story is set in Verona, where there are two anemy housholds, Montague and Capulet. The story soon talks about the love story between Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, that try to stay together against their families.
Other important characters are: Juliet's nurse (that organized the meetings between the protagonists) and Juliet' cousin Tybalt that killed Romeo best friend. So Romeo to avange the latter kills the Capulet, and after he banishes from Verona for this.
The situation become very complicated when Juliet arganize a plan to stay with her love. Thanks to a potion that Friar Lawrance give to her; she prepretended her death for avoid to marry Count Parid. But Romeo don't recive the explanetion of the plan in time, and when he arrived at Juliet's tomb, he committed a suicide and when Juliet woke up, she stumbed.
This one is my favorite scene becouse is a very creepy and suspenseful moment. I'm impressed by the courage of this two young people becouse they try to stay together against the prejudices of their families, and becouse they sacrifice their lifes in the name of a pure love.
Also I'm very struck for the way Shakesperare stressed important themes like, mistakes, destiny,
feeting moment and the conflictive reletionship between parents ans sons.
My favorite character is Juliet. the author exalted a different woman's figure. The girls normally is very shy, represented like angels, but Juliet is rebellius and strong. She is very passioned. The director faithfully recreated the thought of Shakesperare very well.
But in some part of the film the language was strange becouse the actors used complex metaphor, and archaic english to recreate the atmosphere of the time. the monologues are frequently to offered a complete point of the thoughts, expecially in the scene of balcony. I noticed how people that belong to inferior class, like a nurse, used very rude words expecially when she talks about her reletionship.
The directors make factions recognizable with the colors, red for the Capulet and blue for the Montague. This film is quite old, and probably for this I don't lihe the fights scenes becouse seemed extremely fake. I noticed that some time there isn't solemn tone like during the death of Mrcutio when nobody believe him. But I love the story becouse talks about a diffent love. I have reflected about mentalities changed. Romeo talks about Juliet like the modern men wouldn't ever do.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun (Sonnet 130)

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
     And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
     As any she belied with false compare.

COMMENT FILM "SHAKESPEARE'S IN LOVE"

carli_sara — 2018-03-25 11:19:46 UTC

The story is set in Elizabeth's era, and William Shakespeare working on a new story called "Romeo and Ethel", but the author hasn't any new ideas, after he takes inspiration from Christopher Marlow,(another important artist in London).So Shakespereare decided to continued his work, and organized the audition for his rappresentation. At that point for the role of Romeo there was anly another a good actor named Thomas Kent that in reality was a girl: Viola, who dreaming to be an actress. How we can notice in this part were still stonge prejudice about women. They couldn't act, usually their merrrieges was combinated for economical purpose. In the same bad condition is Viola. An orrible man named Wassex was introduce to her like future husband. Rother the girl meets Shakespeare when she dressed man's clothes, and uffucially during a dance. This one is my favorite scene, at the begginig there isn't passion yet, but here Viola and William are magnetically attracted. They look each other with deep interest. Shakespere's expression hilight all the involvent and love. After the protagonist will discover who is Thomas Kent in reality, and they can stay together also during the rehearsols of the show. Their love is stronge and sincere. But Violet know what is her duty and after decided to goes to the queen to get merrefe consense for her and Wassex. I lover the character of the qeen, who is active and spontaneus. She always says what she think and doesn't care about the rules. In this scene she hilight the thing that the future spouses don't love each ther, and often she bets that the new Shakespear's show will represent a true love. The protagonist continue to stay with Viola befor her merriege and he pretend to be Marlow and know that the men was death was his foult. Unfortunately, at the end, Violet merries Wassex but she leaves the churce to act like Giuliet side by side with Shakespere that interpreted the role of Romeo. Everyone realized that Violet isn't a man with girl's clothes, and when the extraordinary show she will be almost arrested. Her punishement will be avoid thaks the imprevedible intervent of the qeen. The film I saw is focused on the theatre, so I can notice haw the real actors recitations is different from the traditional cinematographic, ideed there isn't distinguishing between true and false, and naturally this is one of the most important Shakespere techical. I regognized other important elements. At that time people could eat and talk aloud during theater shows. Which were rudimentary wooden structures. The actor was despired and underpaid job. I loved this film becouse analize the real life of Shakespere, indeed this representation hilight how the author was a womanizer and that his wife and childrens were far away. That is totaly differnt from the books version.

Mary Shelley & Frankenstein:

Two hundred years ago, on 1 January 1818, the novel Frankenstein was first published. Mary Shelley had conceived the novel two years previously, when she was 18 years old, just like you, while spending the summer in Switzerland with P.B.Shelley & Lord Byron. The weather was unusually cold and miserable because of an extraordinary event: half a world away, in Indonesia, the volcano Tambora had erupted. It was the largest volcanic eruption in human history. The ash and gas spewed by the volcano blocked the sun’s rays and cooled temperatures around the globe. Mary and her friends found the weather that year, which came to be known as ‘the year without summer’, to be perfect for sitting indoors and reading ghost stories. So they decided that each of them should write one. One night, a vision struck her imagination: in it she saw a crazy scientist giving life to a monstrous creature.

MY FAVORITE SCENE FROM THE FILM: there are spellingmistakes, please correct

carli_sara — 2019-01-03 17:13:41 UTC

https://youtu.be/UmYEfF3We8M
In this scene Elizabeth, (the Victor Frankenstein's wife), broght back to life by the scientist after being killed and scarred by the moster. She is contended by the two protagonists and in that moment Elizabeth realized that she had the same type of scars of the creature attributing the causes of those to her husband who has gone beyond the limit of the nature. This condiction doesn't permetted to her to have the physical and metal state of the beggining. I really like the moment when she decided with courage to set herself on fire becouse she doesn't want continue to exist.
