Reflection: King Lear

This play really surprised me. Both of the Lear's and concept of love are different from me. Lear decided to make his relationship with his daughter defenct just because his youngest daughter didn't choose to flatter him. This father-daughter relationship was so weak. Moreover, the other two daughters were so cruel and evil. I would never treat my parents like they did. This reveals the terror of power scrambling among royalty.

Reflection to Macbeth

The play Macbeth gives me a lot of surprises. I can hardly believe that Shakespeare could have written such a tragedy full of regrets, guilt, anxiety, and greed. Lady Math is my favorite character in this play; her weird and greedy behavior impresses me, and controls the atmosphere in the play. It’s interesting that she isn’t the one who kills King Duncan; the ambivalence of Macbeth and the decisive Lady Macbeth made me believe Macbeth was going to be weak and Lady Macbeth was going to kill King Duncan. In the end of the play, the fact that Macdoff was cut from his mom early is an unexpected, and it still means he was born from his mom.

Reflective post (Romeo and Juliet)

Romeo and Juliet is a remarkable story, and it is one of my favorites. Although this love story is tremendously exaggerated and surreal to me, it's still touching. I have the DVD of this play, and I've watched it over 10 times. This book reminds me the songs, the atmosphere, and the dramatic tension in the play. The scene of Juliet standing on the balcony, singing to Romeo with great emotion still vividly appears in my mind. The two families’ hatred towards each other reflects the difficult relationships between two families in the real world that happens sometimes. Furthermore, the ending, which both of them suicide, gives us a deeper idea and makes us think: is this a happy ending? Does it has to be in this way? Is it worth it?

Shakespeare’s work illustrates the common love situation happened around us. Using lots of dramatic ironies, he shows the young teenagers’ impatience, and finally, unpleasant ending. He simply brings an old question: What is love?, a deep, debatable question.
