The House of Bernarda Alba (4)

Tonight I started reading Act 2. I feel a little happy for Angustias and I think the other sisters are just jealous and are trying to make her feel bad. I was so surprised about Adela! I can't believe that she is in love with Pepe el Romano! And for Poncia to encourage her by telling her that her sister is gonna die while having her child is pretty harsh in my book. I don't know why they can't just be happy for their sister. I was surprised that Bernarda actually stood up for Angustias, which I thought was pretty nice. And I hope that Martirio was just playing a joke because that is the last thing that family needs; 3 sisters fighting over a man. Oh and I wonder why the women want to work in the fields so bad. Like they think it is hot in the house? Just wait until you get out there. haha. Also out of all the other men that come, they can't just pick one of those guys? Like seriously. Well I'll keep reading.

The House of Bernarda Alba (3)

Tonight, I finished reading Act 1. Bernarda really likes to have control over everything. She likes to keep her daughters locked up and keep them from marrying. But even some of the daughters don't even want to marry. It seems like everyone is kind of not looking forward to Pepe el Romano declaring marriage for Angustias. I'm a little confused on who she is. Like everyone is saying her father was somebody else and had a lot of money. So why is she involved with the family. I'm not sure... The servants are so nosey, like mind your own business. I was wondering if Bernarda's mother was as cruel as she was or if she is nicer and is just locked in that house. I think it's kind of creepy how they are all basically not allowed to leave that house or put on powder or anything. And I think Angustias had the right to make herself look nice and to want to go out. But at the same time I kind of like Bernarda. Like she's just so corrupt and I think that's hilarious. Poor Grandma though. Like everyone just grabbed her and like practically dragged her back to her room to be locked up. That's so mean. Well, I'll keep reading on.

The House Of Bernarda Alba (2)

Tonight, I continued reading this play. I'm a little confused about what is going on but I think I have the direction in which what is happening. So far, I figured out the husband of Bernarda has died. Bernarda doesn't really seem that affected in terms of being upset or sad or having grief. Poncia sounded a little betrayed when Bernarda reminded her that she was a slave and nothing more to her. Bernarda is really just a bitch, in my mind at least. I understand where she's coming from about staying locked up in the house and everything. It's how she was raised and what she was taught to believe. At that point you really can't do anything to change the person. But she is really mean to her daughters. She should at least lighten up on them. They need a little freedom to live. Well, I'll keep on reading tomorrow.

The House Of Bernarda Alba (1)

Tonight, I started reading The House of Bernarda Alba. So far it is a bit confusing, but understandable. I don't really know who Poncia is or what role she has but it sounds like shes been with Bernard for quite a long time now. And it doesn't sound like shes having too much fun. The servant ; I don't really know what his side of the story is, like he was saying how she was good to Poncia, but he sounded annoyed about how she ignores the servants or something. I wonder what all the people are coming over for, it might be the death of the husband but i'm not sure. I feel kind of bad for that beggar women and her little girl. Like he should have at least given her a little bit of food at least. Well I'll keep reading on tomorrow.

Pygmalion (7)

Tonight, I have started and finished reading Act4. Eliza seems really over worked. I feel really bad for her. I understand her point of view of how she doesn't know what to do. And I think she has a right to freak out on Higgins. I really wonder what is going through his head. He just seems like an insane person. Like he has a hard time understanding what people are saying to him. Especially Eliza; he should know her by now and the way she thinks. But I have to side with Higgins a little too because he does offer her all the clothes she has worn there, and even offered her the Florist shop and how Pickering would buy it for her. Or how he offered her to marry a guy that his mother could find. So he was a bit nice, but Eliza still deserves better than this, in my opinion. At least she got him in the end, which I don't really know why he was hurt at all. He really seems to not care besides those couple of offerings, so good for Eliza that she got some pain out of him. I wonder what will happen in the morning. I'll keep on reading.

Pygmalion (6) [Wednesday]

Tonight, I finished reading Act 3 of Pygmalion. I'm really starting to get into it. I think it's funny how Higgins and Pickering are all like oh it'll be fine afterwords, and everyone else is just freaking out. I kind of felt bad for Higgins when his mother was like she is not presentable at all, and you can't make her presentable. Poor Higgins, he got all sad after that. His mother makes me laugh too because she is just like I can't believe you are doing all this to that poor woman, and how horrible it is to let her live in your home. Well, I personally think that Higgins is doing a real nice thing, teaching her all these ways of language and even about music. So props to you Higgins! Pickering is still weird to me, like I don't know who he is or anything, like personality wise. Well, I'll keep on reading into Act 4.

Pygmalion (5) [Tuesday]

Tonight, I started into Act 3 of Pygmalion. I'm guessing this is taking place a couple months later, after working with Eliza for a bit. So, Higgins is going to his mother's house to pretty much just show off Eliza and see if he did a good job, and if she can pull it off. What ends up happening instead of just Higgins's mother just being there, Pickering, Mrs. Eynsford Hill, Clara, and Freddy all show up unexpectadley. I could not really tell whether Higgins was nervous about it or not. I'm guessing he wasn't because he was just like yeah the more the better. Well, I pictured Eliza walking in and I'm guessing she was really done up. She obviously pulled off the beauty, but I'm not so sure about the language. She had gaps and they were saying it was just the new small talk, but it just seems shady, like Higgins couldn't get it out of her. Well, I think Freddy has a thing for Eliza because he was just totally hitting on her the whole time she was there. After she left, I could see that Mrs. Eynsford Hill didn't really seem to like her for some reason. But oh well. I'll just keep reading.
