This project will consist of three “film reviews” from Shakuntala, Pocahontas, and Lord of the Rings. I believe that their “heroic” characters and their respective conflicts draw similar conclusions. I am setting out to show a pattern in characters perspective storytelling over time. It should start as origin, to “original”, then to the final rendition.Continue reading “King Dusyanta-> John Smith-> Aragorn”

Reflection on Project 3

From Stella
For my second project, I decided to write a sonnet inspired by Sir Philip Sydney’s series of sonnets, “Astrophil and Stella”. In this poems, Astrophil seems to take a strong liking, possible obsession towards Stella. However, through the poems, it comes across as he is only interested in her physical appearance, rather than who sheContinue reading “From Stella”
3rd project – Essay
Shakuntala’s connection to nature Throughout the tale of Shakuntala, we, the readers, are able to see the love that blossoms between Shakuntala and the King Dusyanta. We are also able to see the abundance of nature throughout the play. However, these things are not mutually exclusive, or disconnected. We see love and nature intertwinedContinue reading “3rd project – Essay”

The brain sometimes is not full of delight A garden which sometimes struggles for sunlight. Where some days the sun shines on shimmering streams, and on others the dark consumes innocent dreams.

A Commonplace Book (Analyzing Gender Roles through Literature)
Commonplace books were popular ways to compile knowledge from the renaissance to the 19th century. Things like poems, recipes, and important quotes to remember were written down in these books along with a description or notes on the topic. People would store quotations, definitions, and include personal observations along with them. Professor Helms gave meContinue reading “A Commonplace Book (Analyzing Gender Roles through Literature)”
