and more – to my soul, than to obey those unjust commands.” – Florinda (The Rover, I. i. 18-22) In this first quote, Florinda expresses her opposition to arranged marriages. It was a common practice in the seventeenth century, especially among the higher classes as it is the case, that the father would be the responsible for the choice of husband. The fact that Florinda is openly against this practice proves that women were not as submissive as they might seem, but there was no other honorable way for them to be finantially independent, for they depended first on the father – or the brother, as in the play – and then on the husband. Related to this vision, here follows another quote to illustrate it: “I hate Vincentio, sir, and I would not have a man so dear to me as my brother follow the ill customs of our country and make a slave of his sister […]” – Florinda (The Rover, I. i. 62-65) After stating her position about the matter of arranged marriages, Florinda compares this practice to slavery. The relationship between a male member of the family with the daughter or the sister is shown as similar to that of the master and the slave, respectively. In that sense, marriage is a mere transaction in which one part (the family, embodied in the figure of the brother in The Rover) obtains profit by selling or using the services of the other part (the lady). It is suprising that a female character declares her position on these matters so severely and openly, since that was not very lady-like. However, it is important to highlight that women in the play have very strong personalities and step out of the standards of womanhood to some extent. The other vision of marriage that will be analysed is that of marriage as the dead of love. “Hold, hold, no bug words, child. Priest and Hymen! Prithee add a hang-man to ‘em to make up the consort. No, no, we’ll have no vows but love, child, not witness but the lover; the kind deity enjoin naught but love and enjoy! Hymen and priest wait still upon portion and jointure. Love and beauty have their own ceremonies. Marriage is a certain bane to love as lending money is to friendship; I’ll neither ask nor give a vow – though I could be contente to turn gipsy and become a left-handed bridegroom, to have the pleasure of working that great miracle of making a maid a mother, if you durst venture. ‘Tis upse gipsy that, and if I miss, I’ll lose my labour” – Willmore .

THE MOST FAMOUS 20th CENTURY AMERICAN PLAYS - a brief overview. pptx

MilanStankovic19

: Without doubt, the Civil War era marked a sea change in American literature precisely the way the American writers apprehend the role of the poetry, both in the North and South. Many poems of the wartime aimed at figuring out what happened to the Civil War and what happened to American literature. All these poems appear as a chastening, a sense that maybe focus more upon the day-to-day lives of actual living human beings. If the American literature that Emerson had summoned helped galvanize opinion that led to the Civil War, the Civil War in turn changed what that literature would be, and moreover the poems by Whitman who literally became the invigorator and reconciler of the American republic he had wanted to become through his poems that show how to mourn and how to gauge the effects that the war was having on Americans, and also how it came to American poetry which can convey and perhaps alleviates the psychological and physical suffering war entails.
