From De Profundis

By Oscar Wilde

Is without doubt, one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read! And I will continue to read throughout my lifetime for I know, being human, that I will forget these messages I should never forget. In my life so far everything used to be picture perfect until events and scenarios happened where I could not ( Read more... )

Week 12

haha
i really enjoyed ur poem! it's quite... theatrical? i'm not sure if that is the right word for it but when i was reading it could just imagine someone exagerating what you wrote and making it really dramatic. I think your poem suits perfectly not just the content of The ( Read more... )

Oscar Wilde

oh my. SOOOO MANY GOOD QUOTES
a man before his time, who acted in the purest form of humanity. a man who questioned everything but restricted nothing
i ABSOLUTELY adored his speech whilst on trial:

--"The Love that dare not speak its name" in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David ( Read more... )

Tragedy VS Comedy

The cherry orchard

Anton Chekhov

Written in satire to make social criticisms, Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard is questionably a tragedy. Apparently Chekhov was angry that this was titled a tragic play and I understand why. When you title it as a tragedy, audiences tend to focus on that aspect paying less attention to Chekhov’s satire ( Read more... )

TOLSTOY

I MUST agree that he is a master writer. Crossing the boundaries, Tolstoy beautifully addresses themes of themes and issues that no one dares to go. Just summing things up, I became incredibly sympathetic to Evan Ilych. It’s one thing to die alone, but not have the courage to verbalise his dying wishes to his family makes it worse. I tried ( Read more... )

UNI BREAK

Mmmmm.. very much needed. Perfectly timed too!

After handing in two assignments in the previous week a week off is just  P E R F E C T.

Although, I must admit with another two assignments that were due on the week of return, it wasn’t really much of a break. Anyway, for this week’s entry I thought I’d write about my much needed adventure ( Read more... )

Hey MG!
