2013 LET’S READ PLAY [
WRAP-UP POST ]
Count down at the end
of 2013, on several RC I enter for this year, this perticulary event I must say
really becoming rather surprise on my self. Since I’m not a very good English
Readers, learning to read or understood the meaning of plays by Shakespeare or
Euripides is quite challenging. But at the end, some of the plays becoming my
favorite and push me to even try another works by its writer (^_^)
The first plays I
quite enjoying is The Crucible by Arthur Miller, which is written based on true
story on the tragedy in Salem (also known as Salem Witch’s Trials), where
hundred man, woman even children are punished and killed, accused being part of
Devil’s works, practicing Witch Craft, and burn to die without proper justice.
Arthur Miller write such tremendous story-line, describing the vivid scenery of
histeria and malpractice, accusing innocent people into cruxifice and burn to
live.
Than I introduce by
fellow reader another works by Oscar Wilde, it the most surprising moment when
I ‘falling-in-love’ with his works, specially with The Importance of Being
Earnest and An Ideal Husband (who have
not yet written as review). In The Importance of Being Earnest there is
Algernon – a rather flamboyant character with such ‘don’t-care-less-about-anything’
attitude, but becoming the most attractive person and hillarious in the whole
story. Then I meet Lord ‘Arthur’ Goring – also decribe having similar attitude
like Algernon, but inside his ‘bad-image’ and ‘naughty-attitude’ he is true
gentleman and loyal friend with good heart and smart brain too (^_^) ...
When I read The
Importance of Being Earnest, I already know its a comedy-story, but still
Wilde capture a lot of interesting part in whole story. Opposite side when I
read An Ideal Husband, from the first time I lead to the mystery and intense
story-line about black-mail on someone past, who happens becoming the most
respectable and honor person in present...but Wilde slipped a rather unique and
comedic scene when the servants mistaken expected quest of hisa master, Lord
Goring. At the end, again I becoming Wilde’s fans on his works now (^_^), so
hopefully I can manage several time in next year to read on Wilde’s works and
plays.
