Still thinking about that one high school senior who legit blocked me on WhatsApp because I had ghosted her for a while. Like, she used to do that to me, too. But did I ever act like a snowflake about it? No.

People don't owe you their time. You have to grow up & realize you are not everyone's first priority.

And you actually mattered to me. Which is why I sent you SMSs begging you to unblock me & be friends again. Because unlike someone, I'm actually a decent human being. But clearly, you don't deserve my politeness. Because even after unblocking me, you left me on read. All you do now is watch my status updates. Like a creepy, rotten stalker.

I wish I could block you now. But no. I want you to see that I'm better off without you. I want you to know you're worthless in my life. Also, I refuse to stoop to your standards.

Sincerely,

Still Thinking About That One High School Senior Who Legit Blocked Me On WhatsApp Because I Had Ghosted

I'm reading Bravely Fought the Queen right now, & I found this post that I'd used as a reference a few months ago, while writing a research paper on the same play. It's a great review. And I'm so thankful I found this, because it's really difficult to find anything that can be used as a helpful resource for university exams, on this app. Especially when you're an Indian student & have a load of obscure-ass stuff as a part of your syllabus. 🙂

REVIEW OF BRAVELY FOUGHT THE QUEEN

Dattani’s vivacious and provocative play BRAVELY FOUGHT THE QUEEN visited three scenes in England as of late, the first occasion when that his work has been performed outside India. Created by Michael Walling’s organization Border Crossings and co directed by him and Dattani, this play incorporated a cast that joined craftsmen from India, the British South Asian people group, and the British white network.

Quickly, the content is in three acts, titled ‘Women’, 'Men’, and 'Bravely Fought the Queen’. The play is set in Bangalore of the 1980s and 1990s. The story is “revolved around an Indian family, in which two siblings, the co-proprietors of a promoting office, have hitched two sisters. The ladies stay at home a great part of the time, where they take care of the men’s maturing mother Baa. A great part of the play’s strain originates from the cooperation between the encased, claustrophobic, female universe of Act I and the male universe of business in Act 2. The way that both genders are leading lives dependent on dream is pitilessly uncovered when the characters stand up to one another in Act 3, and the real factors of their lives rise. The homosexuality of one of the siblings, the injured girl of the other marriage, Baa’s proceeded with nearness - these realities are covered in the uncomfortable world which the characters occupy. The play turns into a request for mankind and for resilience”. It is similarly a weep for the acknowledgment of Indian qualities that are moving, where custom and contemporary conflict, confound and make another social scene. Dattani composes with a sharpness that is skillfully masked, utilizing language that retreats to clearness and sharpness, one that pushes the restrictions of the verbally expressed word and the pregnant quiets in the middle.

An assortment of dramatic and specialized modes are adequately utilized. The holy space of the stage is characterized, reclassified, and adjusted at the same time by brilliant lighting structure and by the on-screen characters who guide out various regions, both focal and fringe, as they moderate walk on the edges of the casing while the equal account proceeds on the middle stage. Stylized developments, obviously enlivened by Bharatanatyam and Kucchipudi move structures are utilized to pass on developments, advances, continuations inside the content and the sub-writings. Dattani has altered his unique play-script vigorously.

Ah, now this was easier to find because this sonnet & Sonnet 130 are probably the most popular Shakespearean sonnets. This is just the actual sonnet, though. I'll have to look for an analysis of this sonnet somewhere else. 😕 Still, this is a good resource that you can refer to if you don't have a physical copy readily available.

Sonnet XVIII

image

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day ?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed ;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed ;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,

Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The text of Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare. Tbh, these two sonnets are actually very easy to study. If you can write a decent answer, you'll score well. I just hope I'll get a question about either of these two Shakespearean sonnets I just posted. 🤞🤞

Sonnet CXXX

Sonnet CXXX

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun ;

Coral is far more red than her lips’ red ;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun ;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks,

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound.

I grant I never saw a goddess go ;

My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Text of Sonnet 75 of the Amoretti sonnet sequence by Edmund Spenser. You can also listen to Susan Sarandon reading this sonnet if you visit the link above! A critical analysis of this sonnet can be found here .

“Amoretti: Sonnet 75” by Edmund Spenser (read by Susan Sarandon)

One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washed it away: Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

“Vain man,” said she, “that dost in vain assay, A mortal thing so to immortalize; For I myself shall like to this decay, And eke my name be wiped out likewise.”

“Not so,” (quod I) “let baser things devise To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: My verse your vertues rare shall eternize, And in the heavens write your glorious name:

 Where whenas death shall all the world subdue,  Our love shall live, and later life renew.”

This is a remarkable essay about The Wife of Bath by Geoffrey Chaucer. It talks about the life & legacy of the Wife of Bath in great detail.

“Alison is a character whom readers across the centuries have usually seen as accessible, familiar, and, in a strange way, real. For many people she is by far the most memorable of the Canterbury pilgrims.”

This, too, is an essay on the Wife of Bath by Geoffrey Chaucer. & this one contains the answer to the question: Why is the Wife of Bath considered a feminist text?

The Wife of Bath with Marion Turner - Medievalists.net
Unfiltered, opinionated, and joyful, the Wife of Bath stands out from Chaucer's Canterbury crowd, interjecting, interrupting, and endearing herself to readers for over six centuries. This week on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with Marion Turner about the literary life and legacy of this unforgettable character.
