Forbidden Love Jacob Renteria Mrs. Mulvey/Parrot Eng. 1P/ Per. 2 17 March, 2017 Forbidden Love The two lovers that first caused a violent commotion, reluctantly bring peace to their hateful families by committing suicide. The play which is in Verona, Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party that is secretly known who they are. They know that they won’t be able to get married but helped by Friar Laurence, they marry in secret Unfortunately, before the wedding Romeo kills Juliet's cousin Tybalt in a fight and in the morning he is forced to leave and banished If he ever returns to the town he will be killed or punished. Juliet's parents demanded her to marry Paris. Her parents don’t know that she is already married to Romero. She refuses to marry Paris in the start but later on agrees to marry him because she has made a plan with Friar to fake her death and run away with Romero forever. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a sleeping potion. She appears to be dead and was put in a tomb where she lies However, Romeo didn’t know that there was any plan so he decides to visit her grave, thinks she is dead, and kills himself. When Juliet finally wakes up, she discovers that Romeo is dead and then kills herself. Pyramus and Thisbe are a couple of young Babylonians in love. Unfortunately, their families totally hate each other. The star-crossed lovers whisper sweet nothings through a crack in the wall that separates their houses, until they eventually can't take it anymore and decide to elope. But when Thisbe shows up under the mulberry tree where they're supposed to meet, a bloody-jawed lioness is hanging out there. Thisbe screams and runs, leaving her shawl behind. Pyramus arrives a little while later and finds the bloody lioness ripping apart the shawl. We can see where this is headed assuming Thisbe has been devoured, he stabs himself with his sword. Later Thisbe returns figures out the horrible thing that's happened, and stabs herself with Pyramus's sword, too. To this day, the formerly white berries of the mulberry tree are stained red with the blood of these tragic lovers. In the play we see motherly love between the nurse and Juliet love between Romeo and Rosaline, infatuation love between Romeo Juliet and the Friar almost like a fatherly or holy love and finally love between Romeo and Juliet true love. Love is not necessarily gentle. It hurts and overwhelms those who experience it. Romeo later claims that life without Juliet would be meaningless, too empty and painful to survive. He would rather die than live without her “My life were better ended by their hate, Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.” (Shakespeare, Romeo). This means that he would rather die kill himself than be alone without her because without her love his life is hopeless since Juliet is the only person that he loves and he would do anything to be with her. This matters because not only that this book/movie shows what love can do to you on the bright side but also shows what it can do by suicide, murder, violence, and worthiness. But one thing is that it shows how much they care for each other that they would do anything to be with them. Conflict is one of the big themes in the story. Shakespeare shows the two warring families the Montagues and the Capulets. The two families have been taught to hate each other, and this hatred impacts on the family members and the citizens of Verona. The citizens of Verona are unwillingly a part of the conflict as they witness the ongoing battles between the two families battles which often result in death. Juliet's inner conflict when she discovers Romeo is a Montague, conflict between Tybalt and Romeo, conflict between Juliet and her father. This means that there is many conflict between these two families and even though they don’t explain much why they hate each other it shows that love can be complicated but shows the dedication that people put into it. This matters because they would have never fought for the love they would have never brought the families together but they never knew that they did since they were dead and also because they died for each other's love which made it interesting showing that they care. What I found in my thesis statement is that love is harsh and it’s hard to find the right person that will be with you for the rest of your life especially since it’s complicated for romeo and juliet because their families hate each other, romeo is forbidden to go to verona he isn’t allowed to see juliet and they are definitely not allowed to get married. So they get around the families putting both of their lives on there line to be with each other so they can be with one another..

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

It is surprisingly related today. The main theme of Shakespeare’s work is ‘LOVE’- ‘the blind fool’. He indirectly acknowledges there may be obstacles in true love and urges to marry with true ‘mind’ rather than merely two people. This love is a bold subject matter that has always lacked rules and always attracts controversy - specially within the strict norms of Asian Culture. These various challenges and obstacles make multistory-love-complex silently. Cinema woos audiences by offering this emotion. Modern Indian Cineme is already an indestructible massive field of art work which has been successfully taken the extract of the Shakespearean drama to serve the common. The literary works of Shakespeare reinvigorate uncountable people of the world. The unique excellence of Bard’s ‘violent delights’ and ‘violent ends’; excessive passion and love full of zeal; jealousy and romance; greed for empowerment and assassination; laughter and satire; aesthetic sensibility and of course the plot construction both in comedy and tragedy- are all time favourite to Bollywood screen.

  • Transforming Lovers and Memorials in Ovid and Marie De France
    TRANSFORMING LOVERS AND MEMORIALS IN OVID AND MARIE DE FRANCE SunHee Kim Gertz Late medieval authors were fascinated by classical literature, by what for all practical purposes functioned as the literary canon for readers and writers of the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries. As made clear by earlier scholarship — which often, however, interpreted medieval reception of classi­ cal literature as badly understood — medieval writers did not simply honour or completely authorize their predecessors. Indeed, more comfortable with the idea of tradition than slavish imitators Eire, medieval poets transformed classical texts in any number of ways, often feeling at liberty to change even critical narrative elements in the process. They did so, apparently, for differ­ ent purposes, but one of the most interesting, it seems to me, was to explore what writing meant in their own literary circles. Reading and Transformation: Marie de France and Ovid Against what intuitively seems likely, such transformations of classical ma­ terial often occur in narratives that only subtly invoke literary ancestors and that (unlike, for instance, the romans antiques) do not owe an obvious debt of plot and characters to their predecessors. The twelfth-century lais of Marie de France offer particularly good examples, especially since her narra­ tor evinces an awareness of borrowing from the past. Indeed, she announces in the General Prologue that she will avoid mapping her own writing onto Latin (and hence, authoritative) narratives: comen;ai a penser D’aukune bone estoire faixe E de latin en romaunz traire; Mais ne me fust gil aires de pris [. .] Des lads pensai, k’o'iz aveie [.

Gish We discover in the works of William Shakespeare the wisdom of a poet whose art charms and entertains, even as it educates us. In the “eternal lines” of his plays and poetry, Shakespeare conjures a vivid gallery of characters for his audience and readers.1 His representations of human beings are as true to life as any nature has conceived, perhaps more true. We may wonder if there is a Falstaff or a Hamlet or a Cleopatra living in our midst from whom we can learn as much as we can from the characters that inhabit Shakespeare’s works. Through sustained reflection on his characters, we become keenly aware of our humanity and thus come to know ourselves more profoundly.

Examination of this accolade by those who first applied it to him proves it profoundly theological: for them a mythopoeic tale was a relational medium through which transformation might occur, transcending boundaries of time and space. The implications challenge much contemporary critical study of MacDonald, for they demand that his literary life and his theological life cannot be divorced if either is to be adequately assessed. Yet they prove consistent with the critical methodology MacDonald himself models and promotes. Utilizing MacDonald’s relational methodology evinces his intentional facilitating of Mythopoesis.

    T H E S T O R Y O F P YRAMUS AND T HISBE ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Ovid ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– “Next door to each other, in the brick-walled city Built by Semiramis, lived a boy and girl, Pyramus, a most handsome fellow, Thisbe, Loveliest of all those Eastern girls. Their nearness Made them acquainted, and love grew, in time, So that they would have married, but their parents Forbade it. But their parents could not keep them From being in love: their nods and gestures showed it— You know how fire suppressed burns all the fiercer. There was a chink in the wall between the houses, A flaw the careless builder had never noticed, Nor anyone else, for many years, detected, But the lovers found it—love is a finder, always— Used it to talk through, and the loving whispers Went back and forth in safety. They would stand One on each side, listening for each other, Happy if each could hear the other’s breathing, And then they would scold the wall: ‘You envious barrier, Why get in our way? Would it be too much to ask you To open wide for an embrace, or even Permit us room to kiss in? Still, we are grateful, We owe you something, we admit; at least You let us talk together.’ But their talking Was futile, rather; and when evening came They would say Good-night! and given the good-night kisses That never reached the other. “The next morning Came, and the fires of night burnt out, and sunshine Dried the night frost, and Pyramus and Thisbe Met at the usual place, and first, in whispers, Complained, and came—high time!—to a decision.

Schnapp Sarah Luehrman Axelrod UMORISMO AND CRITICAL READING IN BOCCACCIO’S VERNACULAR AND LATIN OPERE ‘MINORI’ Abstract Umorismo as Luigi Pirandello defines it is distinct from the general body of literary material meant to invoke laughter. It consciously turns rhetorical convention on its head: it creates unexpected oppositions through conscious and careful use of certain types of language in contexts where it is not expected. The aim of my study is to offer readers new ways to approach Giovanni Boccaccio’s lesser-known works as fundamentally humorous texts, among other things, and to observe how they are crafted and what sets them apart from other works to which one might compare them.
