For Our Countries Good, the characters that really interest me are Ketch, and Liz. They both seem like outcats of the group, and while Liz gets in little snips with everyone else, Ketch really jst seems like he wants to not be hated. He’s very nervous, and tries to be tough, but he even egts chased away by the girls. Liz also has that relationship with everyone else. She only seems to want to talk to Mary, and is very sure of herself. Inside, however, she has to be insecure. I want to see how her character moves along, and how I could play it. Also, getting into little fights is fun. I like that kind of stuff.
As for my IB essay, I’ve decided to research a play from the Spanish Golden Era, called ” Life is a dream”, and compare how the Spanish Era, which was steeped in religon, and came with Columbus’s arrival in the Americas, is difering from the Elizabethan Era in England, a very diffirent type of theatre. Mostly, this will focus on how the Spanish Era kept its’ basic ideals for so long, and why it focused on the good of humanity, while the english play I’ll be using, ‘King Lear”, is based in deciet, lies, and bad character. I’ll connect te goings on of Spain at the time to the plays. I need stronger basis I know, but I’ll work with this for now…I’m excited for this project.
