Marie Antoinette e la sua vita!!!!

Marie Antoinette è uno del della Queens più famoso e maggior parte più discutibile di tutto il tempo. È accreditata spesso dire la frase famosa “se non hanno pane, quindi lascili mangiano la torta!„ Abbastanza stranamente, non ci è prova che Marie Antoinette ha emesso mai quelle parole. Marie Antoinette era il 2 novembre 1755 nato come Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von il Habsbourg-Lothringen. Era un'arciduchessa austriaca, derivato dell'imperatore romano santo Francis I ed imperatrice Maria Theresa dell'Austria. Alla giovane età di quattordici è stata sposata a Louis XVI, il nipote del re Louis XV della Francia. Sulla morte del re Louis XV, Marie Antoinette ed il suo marito Louis XVI hanno stato bene al nuovi re e regina della Francia. Marie Antoinette aveva soltanto diciannove anni in cui è diventato regina. Durante il suo regno come regina è stato conosciuta come una donna esagerata che ha speso le eccessive somme di denaro su vestiti, su mobilia, sul gioco e sui diamanti. Le voci delle abitudini di spese della regina e quelle della corte reale, hanno cominciato a circolare fra il francese. Con il governo francese nel debito tremendo e la gente della Francia necessitante pane, la gente della Francia ha cominciato a sviluppare un'immagine meno favorevole della regina e della monarchia. Il 14 luglio 1789 una calca dei cittadini parigini ha preso il controllo della prigione del Bastille a Parigi. Ciò ha contrassegnato l'inizio della Rivoluzione Francese. In seguenti mesi i cittadini arrabbiati di Parigi mobbed il palazzo di Versailles (vedi la foto) ed hanno forzato la famiglia reale a Parigi. Durante questo periodo del giro la regina è diventato il membro odiato della famiglia reale e spesso è stata osservata come “la donna austriaca.„ Dopo una fuga tentata dalla Francia che ha girato male, la famiglia reale è stata giudicata prigioniera per parecchi anni fino a metterli sulla prova per il tradimento. Dopo il bicchierino di Marie Antoinette e la prova ingiusta è stata condannata alla morte. Marie Antoinette è stato decapitato il 16 ottobre 1793 al posto de la Concorde a Parigi. Come con la maggior parte delle figure storiche popolari, il carattere di Marie Antoinette era comparso in molti film. Sofia Coppola recentemente ha diretto una pellicola nominata Marie Antoinette con una data di pubblicazione prevista nell'autunno di 2006. La pellicola del Coppola, Kirsten starring Dunst come Marie Antoinette, sarebbe un adattamento della biografia di Antonia Fraser nominata il viaggio.

Caricature

Today we started the lesson drawing Mr Francis..
Then went on to discuss how Austen  creates character caricature in Pride and prejudice, in writing my essay i feel that she not only exxagerates characters to emphasise their personality traits, but she also simplifies many aspects of her characters;
Mrs Bennet is marriage obsesses we know that,however,it is almost simplified by Austen as she doesn't delve into why Mrs Bennet is marriage obsessed! This is interesting for Austen to do, i feel it made me want to read on whilst reading Pride and prejudice, maybe this was the reason she did it!?

How does Austen create character in chapter 11?

To an extent i feel that Austen uses effective techniques of creating character,However this theme isn't carried throughout the whole of the novel, in Chapter 11 it could be said she uses quite poor methods more often that not.

Firstly, i would like to focus on the fact that Austen relies on other charcters and the characters themselves to describe their characteristics;
'He began to feel danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention.'
The further i engroce Austens use of this i seem to find, that this quote inparticular shows that there is vast amounts of self awareness from the prejudice character Darcy, this theme is stretched out through the novel, A prime example is from this quote we find that Darcy is quite cautious, and carries a vacarious amount of self awareness, An interpretation that could be picked up from this is that self awarness is why Darcy comes across as so proud and prejudice, it could be argued that Darcy can afford to be somewhat stuck up from his well to do family background and he knows no different, as he has always been brought up as part of a high maintenance family.

Throughout chapter 11 Darcy and Elizabeth and the narrator are used to exploit characters and their personalities and traits;
'unconsciously closed his book'
Darcy's attention is so drawn to beautiful Elizabeth the book that he was previously so foccused on is shut unconsciously, suggesting intimacy between the two charcters.
However, i feel that intimacy between the two is described through dialogue and we find very little about the characters, this is why i feel Austen was so concentrated on showing the flirting between Darcy and Elizabeth she forgot to express the characters to her audience, little interpretations could be picked from this chapter unfortunatly.

Maude Clare

This lesson we read Maude Clare;
3 interesting quotes to pick in a short space of time...
'His bride was like a village maid,
Maude Clare was like a queen. '
This qoute is quick in letting us know that there is conflict between two women and a man, it is immediatly giving Maude Clare the stronger side by comparing her like a queen. However, his bride is a maiden giving her the innocence, as this is quite an early on quote it leaves us with an idea in mind of what to expet from both characters.

Secondly, i chose to look at the attitudes from the women towards the man;
Take it or leave it as you will,
I wash my hands thereof.”
This shows the leniant attitude from Maude Clare and she never really loved the man as she can just wash her hands with him and not look back. However;
For he's my lord for better and worse,
And him I love Maude Clare.
Nell however ends up with the weaker argument turning back to the man who betrayed her. This doesn't fit with Rosettis usual theme of women sticking together.

 

Essay Writing!!a01,2,3 :)

In this lesson we discussed how settings can be significant in Pride and Prejudice. We then went on to practice A01, A02 and A03 when writing a Part B essay. This was interesting as it gave us an insight into what our exam will consist of and also the time limits we will face. I found that the essay was difficult to an extent as we were pushed for time however I did feel that I was capable of constructing an essay which covered everything in this time limit.

Jessie Cameron..Murder mystery?

Is Jessie Cameron a murder mystery was the discussion we had today,
It could be argued it is a murder mystery as we have an unknown death;
'Did he give up his life or lose it well'
also we have interesting use of voice
'Shrilly screams'
this is personifying the sea as a person and leads you to the impression that it could be a murder mystery with negative noises such as screaming. On the other hand it could be potrayed as many other things such as a ghost story or a love romance.

jesse cameron drama play..

In this lesson we devised a drama script to increase our understanding of the story of Jesse Cameron. This was interesting as it helped us to understand the concept of different narrative methods and way in which Rossetti tells the story. Also it helped to show how the story can be told through other viewpoints other than the narrator e.g the sea, which although is personified still gives an opinion which we would not get if Rossetti didn't feel the need to incorporate this. We also discussed essay writing techniques for AO2 such as form, language and structure.

Jesse Cameron

This lesson we talkeed about another peice of poetry by Rosetti, this one as most of Rosettis poetry carries the feminist views, and leads on to the man in the poem killing the woman. We did about relationships between the narative and the setting, however when writing this essay i found there was no clear pattern, and lots of uncertainty and questioning occured, I think this is purposly done by Rosetti creating tenison.
Rosetti uses various language techniques i picked up on such as pathetic fallacy, symbols, metaphors, and various examples of foreshadowing before the death of Jesse Cameron and pottential suicide of her lover.
Jesse Cameron is a very tense peice of poetry.
