Blogs for the Week,

Monday :

Tonight I read fuenteovejuna, it was really interesting. To start off with the play introduces you to the Commander, the Commander goes to see the Master about the Master receiving his title. He talks to him about going to war with the commander so that he can prove his self worthy to his subjects and to earn respect. I think this is a little out of wack, I mean, if the Master received his title why should he have to prove himself anymore, obviously if he received it he fit enough to hold it.

Tonight I started on Act 1 Scene 2 of Fuente. In this section you are introduced to Pascuala, Laurencia, Mengo, and Barrildo and also Frondoso; they are asking Laurencia's opinion about whether love exists. To skip to the end, Flores, which is the Commander's servant, comes to tell the group about the battle the Commander and the Master had just one, and he returns to Fuenteovejuna. First I believe love exists. This is almost a really touchy subject for me because I know I have felt it and ran with it and still feel it.

Wednesday:

Tonight I read Act 1 Scene 4. It opens up to a field in Fuenteovejuna, and Frondoso is trying to "get" with Laurencia and asking her to Marry him. The the Commander comes in to the scene and he tries to tell Laurencia that he can force her to love himself. So, Frondoso gets the Commander's bow and protects Laurencia. How can the Commander come between true love, I guess he's just ignorant and really thinks he can have whatever he wants. Maybe it was that way back in that time, I know there were arranged marriages and things like that.

Thursday:

Tonight I read Act 2 Scene 1. Laurencia's father and Juan Rojo are talking about what the Commander did to Laurencia in the field. Then the Commander enters and says in the city the husbands' of women would feel proud that the Commanders were interested in their wives, and he tells Laurencia's father to talk some sense into Laurencia. I hope that her father knows the right thing to do, and lets Laurencia do what her heart tells her to.
